Have you installed in a clean and empty directory ?
Severity: blocker → critical
What is the exact error message you are seeing?

try uninstalling the old mozilla first and see if the problem corrects itself.

I forgot: 
Do you see a "entry point" / "Prozedureinsprungspunkt nicht gefunden" error ?
 
Has this been resolved on your side using the latest builds?  I am inclined to
close this as wfm, as there are other bugs detailing specific installation and
uninstallation issues at both the GRE and mozilla level.

* This has helped. I have created a new directory and installation into this
"clean and empty" directory was successful. Thanks. 

This is possible caused by old addons like the spellchecker.
You must clean the old installation if you installed addons because the
uninstaller doesn't delete this addons and they can still produce such errors in
a new build.
