Did you have a previous Mozilla installation there?
If so: Did you uninstall it before installing a 20011121?

Comment 2

[Moshe Gurvich]

I guess i didn't uninstall previous version...
Is it possible to make auto-uninstall as part of install?

Comment 3

[R.K.Aa.]

Does it still crash if you uninstall first?

(Regarding your question about automatic uninstall: it would have various
side-effects, see for instance bug 64109.)

Well, I can't uninstall it -

from Add/Remove programs - runs for half a second some small progress bar and 
that's it, nothing happens.

-> Installer

(BTW: you should not install a new build over an older build)

Reporter: Delete the mozilla directory manually (c:\programs\mozilla...) and
install it again in the same directory. (backup you plugins folder first)

You should be able to install w/out uninstalling first, although this is
frequently broken in nightlies and bugs are welcomed.

Please search for duplicates before filing bugs. This is step number two in the
Bugzilla Helper you used which includes a helpful "Search" form. Duplicates
waste everyone's time and account for nearly half of the bugs filed.
