User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:0.9.4)

BuildID:    0.9.9 release (mozilla doesn't start)

Mozilla crashes on startup with the following error messaeg:

(title)Mozilla.exe - Entry Point Not found(/title)
The procedure entry point ?FindChar@nsCString@@QBEHGHH@Z could not be located in
the dynamic link library xpcom.dll.

Mozilla has never loaded for me, and gives me the same error message when I try
to load the mail component or the profile manager.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download Mozilla 0.9.9
2. Install
3. Start Mozilla

Actual Results:  (title)Mozilla.exe - Entry Point Not found(/title)
The procedure entry point ?FindChar@nsCString@@QBEHGHH@Z could not be located in
the dynamic link library xpcom.dll.

(program terminates after)

Expected Results:  I assume it should have started.

Reporter:
You instaleld mozilla over an older build !
Please tell us over which build do you installed.
and please create a list of .dll files who are old in your installation
(in mozilla\ and mozilla\components\ )

attach the list to this bug. After that uninstall mozilla, delete all files that
the installer had not deleted and reinstall mozilla.

Henrik: The error mesage is different and that means that other files could be 
the problem.

In this case the reporter can give us the file list..
