1) Never overwrite a previous -> all release notes said for windows : install in
an empty directory.
2) Doing an overwrite installation -> bug is INVALID
3) Duplicate of 195600 = "browser crashes on startup after install and after xpi
install. Installation of 1.4 fails"

i'm sorry for commiting a duplicate bug. 
i could successfully run mozilla 1.4, after installing it in a different folder
than mozilla 1.3.1 installation.
