When I try to run the installation program (mozilla-win32-installer-M12.exe) I get the following error message: "1157 : Could not load C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\core.ns\bin\xpistub.dll" I am running Windows95 4.00.950 B on a P166MMX Machine with 48 MB RAM. Other, pre-M12, binaries have been installed on this machine with few problems.
How much disk space do you have on your C: drive before installation starts?
(The installer does not correctly calculate all the disk space required
depending on what's being installed).

I doubt if it would be a lack of hard drive space causing the problem; I have
1.71 GB of space remaining.
When you get the error message, can you task switch to the desktop and verify
that the xpistub.dll file exists in the given location? If it does exist, can
you tell me its size?
Also, if you have not done this, can you run a scandisk on your system just to
make sure it is not a file system problem?
grace, have you been able to reproduce this problem? If you can't, I'd like to
close this as worksforme and have someone reopen if the problem persists in a
reproduceable way for us.

I cannot reproduce this on my 166 Win98 machine nor the Win95/NT machines. I do
xpistub.dll is present in my temp/~~ directory.

I have reformatted my hard drive, re-installed Win95, and downloaded the installer program. I task switched from the installer andI have checked the c:\windows\temp\core.ns\bin directory and xpistub.dll is 21 KB. However, the installation program still gives me the same error message.

reopening bug, but downgrading the severity. This problem arises when the TEMP
environment variable is not set.
