Please uninstall possibly older installations of mozilla before installing a new
build.

Please include more detail in bug reports. 

Which exact build did you install? 

This error usually comes up when you've installed on top of an older version,
and the installer doesn't clean something up. What build did you install on top of?

This error is typically harmless when we see it in Mozilla, it usually displays
at xpcom registration when we fail to register an obsolete component. I've never
seen it lead to crashes since the component that failed was obsolete anyway. Is
it possible this is not a Mozilla build, but some embedded build and it's one of
the embeddor's components giving this error?

Do a directory listing of your build and note which .dll's are older than the
build you just installed. Those are the list of suspects and from there we'll
figure out which are OK and which might be the problem.

I got this warning when installing Mozilla 2002050108 over an older build
(20020419**). Mozilla works fine afterwards.

I'm soo sure this is a dupe of bug 141438

reporter please try to move the file "impComm4xMail.dll" from the component
directory of mozilla to another dir fx c:\temp and see if the warnings goes away.

new, based on dups

Comment 13

[Henrik Gemal]

this is a dupe based on the other dupes.
"impComm4xMail.dll" is the cause. The file "impComm4xMail.dll" causes a
xpcom.dll error!
