The Windows 64-bit nightly build crashes every time I attempt to load it after installation. I have repeated the installation procedure several times, each time after uninstalling the previously installed version, with the same results. The Windows 32-bit version works fine on my 64-bit Win7 setup, as does the 64-bit nightly Ubuntu ppa on my 64-bit Ubuntu 10.10 OS....

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the Firefox Nightly Builds page at http://nightly.mozilla.org/
2. Install the browser as per the instructions.
3. After installation, tick the «Run Firefox» box and click the «Finish» button.


Actual Results:  
4. An MS message appears informing me that Firefox has crashed.
5. If I close the message and click the Nightly icon, the same message reappears.

Expected Results:  
Nightly 6.0a1 would load.
Not an installer bug, likely due to a build problem
