dupe. Please try to download latest night build, since the fix is only in these
builds (I think):

Attachment: zlib.dll from latest nightly build inside mozilla-win32.zip

Found a workaround. 
Rename c:/windows/system32/zlib.dll to zlib.dll_org
Copy the attached zlib.dll (i got it from latest nightly mozilla-win32.zip)
to c:/windows/system32
Start install of mozilla. Which now goes smoothly.
put back original zlib.dll (delete new zlib.dll and rename zlib.dll_org to
zlib.dll)
Clearly there is still problem where zlib.dll is searched by installer

I have just tested with latest nightly 1.2 build mentioned above (build 
2002111811) and it installed perfectly this time.
