I think that this might be ssu's change:

This may be by design: 

If the MFC installer downloaded and installed the same GRE installer (i.e., same
build id and hence installation directory) as the one subsequently being run
then we should not redownload and reinstall the GRE.  Sean possibly landed the
fix for this yesterday I believe so this may be behavior as expected.  (Even so,
the first install_status.log of the GRE installer claims to be downloading the
components which seems incorrect: maybe just a logging glitch?)

Let's have Sean confirm this theory.

this log file looks fine. see:
  ** All components have been found locally.  No components will be downloaded.

The next log file we need to see is install_wizard.log, if one was created.

just talked to twalker.  His machine was acting weird which caused us to
interpret the installer actions incorrectly.

There's nothing to see here, move along....

installed mozilla-win32-installer-sea.exe, download from komodo.
BuildID 2003052104 ok, running.
BuildID 2003052108 didn´t install, told gre-win32-installer.zip corrupted.
Will retry, to see if file from server is wrong or my download failed.

2003052108: new download gave a file about 230 kb longer, same size as
2003052104, installing perfectly. Sorry about the bugspam.
