NT 3.51 is not supported.
See http://www.mozilla.org/products/mozilla1.x/sysreq.html

v

You can try the .zip file instead (dunno if that works)

See bug 236399.

I did now try:

ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.6/mozilla-win32-
1.6.zip

when installed into \Program Files\Mozilla, and run, mozilla.exe valiantly puts 
up the splash screen, and then crashes out with eight identical errors: 

"The ordinal 77 could not be located in the dynamic link library OLEAUT32.dll"

I guess, back-porting to NT 3.51 is out of the question...

I guess, back-porting to NT 3.51 is required.

I suggest that the SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS for Mozilla 1.6 be modified to read
"Windows 95/98/NT 4.0/Me/2000/XP" instead of "Windows 95 or higher", as arguably 
"NT 3.51" is "higher" than 95.
