Details

The facility to build a redistributable version of Mozilla projects that include the MSVC runtime library is broken under Mozilla-build 1.4. The issue is that when using this option, it moves the files to dist/bin in your OBJDIR via the install command. Unfortunately, Mozilla-build has left the vim72 install.exe program lying around in a directory that it places before the location of the desired install program in your path. So what happens is that when it gets to the point in the build where it should be copying the C runtime DLL files, it instead ends up calling the VIM installer passing it invalid command line options.
