1. start > http://people.mozilla.com/~tmielczarek/MozillaBuildSetup-1.4rc2.exe
2. allow it to install, and walk through pages/dialogs until you get to here:
---------------------------
Mozilla Build Setup
---------------------------
This will overwrite everything in C:\mozilla-build. Do you want to continue?
---------------------------
Yes No
---------------------------
"overwrite everything" is misleading, if there's a file that i created which isn't one that the installer writes, then it won't overwrite it :). It sounds like it might mean that it will destroy/delete everything, but it doesn't do that.

It was changed from "delete everything" by bug 451464 :)

Yes, it will only overwrite existing files that it's installing. I'm not going to fix this, but I'd take a patch.

Tweaks the wording of the install prompt to be clearer about what will be overwritten (see comment 0 / comment 2).
