A zip build is avaliable. Look under ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.

[Frank Wein [:mcsmurf]]

Well, probably some download problem (have you used a Download Manager or so?).
Please try again with a newer build.

or delete files in temp directory?

btw, reporter, UA spoofing should be used only for troubleshooting
only. To avoid false IE advertising and running across problems when
browsing "good" sites, you should reset your User agent string to
the default when doing regular surfing.

Your UA is "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98)"
