Description Andrew Overholt

Attempting to install samples from the welcome screen when using a read-only installation fails.  If this installation were done via p2, I suspect it would gracefully fall back to the installation location in my read-write home directory.

The install samples action was changed to use p2 in 2010 (Bug 210529)
