Sorry transposed some digits there.  Regression caused by bug 307296.

As a workaround for uninstalling one of the version that has this bug, you can edit the file "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\uninstall\uninstall.ini"
and change around the top of the file:

OLD: Company Name=@BRAND_COMPANY_NAME@
OLD: Product Name=@BRAND_PRODUCT_NAME@

NEW: Company Name=Mozilla
NEW: Product Name=Mozilla Thunderbird

This bug seems to have been fixed in the latest Thunderbird trunk build.
