Description

[Chris Ebenezer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)
Build Identifier: ftp://unix.hensa.ac.uk/mirrors/ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.4rc1/

WindowsXP was reinstalled on this machine over an existing installation.  
Mozilla was then re-installed using a install bundle that had worked properly
previously.

Launching Mozilla components from the Quick Launch shortcut, the Desktop or
the Menu does not work.

Attempting to run mozilla.exe from the command line returns the following 
message.

'.' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Reproducible: Always

Please note that the Program Files directory was indeed cleaned out after 
installing mozilla, so it isn't as if it contains a corrupt file after
reinstallation of windows XP.

Reporter, are you still unable to get mozilla to run?  Have you tried 
downloading a different build, installing to a different directory, or using 
the zipfile instead of installer?

As of 1.5 this appears to have been resolved.
