Details

system: windows nt 4.0, sp 4, german installer.exe (http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/m13/mozilla-win32-installer-M13.exe ) will fail, if there are any same named files existing in TEMP-dir (perhaps needed to be read only) from a previouse installation (of a perhaps different software). Installer should create its own sub-directory in TEMP to avoid name conflicts or to erase existing files.

adding Samir to the CC: list as a FYI for the mac installer.
Target Milestone: M15
I thought we already do this on Win32?
not fully. I only do that for core.ns files. The .xpi files themselves still get downloaded into the TEMP folder directly. It should be changed to a subfolder instead (for all of the files).
mass change to M16
Target Milestone: M15 → M16
