Start the installer. In the Setup Type choose Browse...
Now open fx the "C:\Program Files" folder.
Now click on "Program Files" again. Suddenly the text changes from "Program 
Files" to "PROGRAM FILES"

reproduced on WIn2k machine
New subject.
Summary: Clicking on a foldername capitalizes it → Clicking on a foldername in "Select a Directory" dialog capitalizes foldername
I dont think this is a Mozilla installer problem only...

Grace: Can you also reproduce this in other installers on Win2k?

I tried with an old Communicator installer and N6 installer on Win2k- believe 
this is functionality of win2k, not a problem with installers- double click 
changes to upper case
bug should probably be marked invalid?
NO!
iirc Windows NT does not guarantee case insensitivity.
The correct solution is MSI.
And timeless needs sleep.

I agree, I tried another Installer today (JRE) and it does the same thing on 
Win2k
