Don't know if the problem is specific to my computer, but I have problems trying
to install the installation binary for Firefox and Firebird previously.
It installs mostly, but towards like 85 per cent of completion, it says:

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. download Firefox onto Windows 2000 computer 
2. double click to install Firefox
3. click all the buttons for the application to start installation
4. towards the end of the installation, the above error is obtained

Actual Results:  
the installation program freezes, but can be quit using the top right corner
close button.

Expected Results:  
completed the installation

On different computers with XP, it works fine.

Hi Hem, thanks for yur bug report.
Are you sure, that the setup program was downloaded correctly? Did you try it
with  this one setup program on all the other systems or did you re-download
Firefox for them?

Please try to download the setup program again.
