I uninstalled Mozilla 1.3 and Netscape 7.02,  then installed Mozilla 1.4a. 
Mozilla installer did not complete and an error message "Mozilla has created
errors and will be shut down" appeared.  

I then went and tried the install a second time.. Same thing.  

I then went and deleted the mozilla.org and netscape directories and then the
install went to completion successfully.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

3.

Actual Results:  
see above.

Expected Results:  
delete any existing netscape or Mozilla files which would cause install to fail.

please try to redownload and reinstall into a fresh *empty* folder.

My point is:  The installer program SHOULD do all of its homework and delete
any/all files and/or folders necessary for the proper install of the software
without user intervention.  This EVEN IF the user has or had a prior Mozilla
installation.
