167752 - installation failure on windows xp after installing sp1

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 167515

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Elizabeth Andersen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705)
Build Identifier: all builds

Mozilla 1.0 was previously installed without any problems.  I installed sp1 
for XP Pro, then decided to try to install Mozilla 1.1.  The installation dies 
almost as soon as it begins.  A few items are put in the registry along and 
some files are copied over... I received a message saying there has been an 
error in jar50.dll and I get a bug report and everything.  So I uninstalled 
Mozilla 1.0, cleaned the temp directories, cleaned the registry, deleted all 
the files, and restarted....redownloaded the file and tried again....exact 
same error - tried it on an xp machine without service pack one...and it 
installed no problem....tried three different versions of mozilla...dies every 
time

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install service pack one on an xp machine
2.download and attempt to install any version of mozilla
3.watch the frustration level rise as it dies and throws an exception

Actual Results:  
The installation dies after writing registry entries and copying some files

Expected Results:  
installed correctly

If you like, I have lots of files about this lovely crash....like the crash 
report and the installation log....

Reporter, could you attach anything you have to bug 167515? (this bug is a
