Mozilla don't starts, instead the window as described in the details section above

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.

The bug is still there (Mozilla 1.7.11): deselecting Chatzilla during
installation leads to an unusable Mozilla installation because only a window
with html-code inside starts. Not a big deal but i wonder why nobody recognizes
this - does everybody install Chatzilla?

can you try a seamonkey installer

(trunk) http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/latest-trunk/

or 1.0 branch:

This has always worked for me with Mozilla 1.7.x on WinXP. For the reporter it works now with SM, so resolving.
