Hours ago I downloaded FF to reinstall and was told that I don't have at least WinNT:



but I really do... see System Properties




RegMon shows FF setup wrapper queries the registry and finds WinNT




the installer queries- and finds WinNT too





checking for version number

..we get the correct result for XP


Do I really need to enable compatibility mode for setup? Because I have never needed it before

wow.. that's annoying.. the forum severely downsized the images. Here all six PNGs

FF setup also looks here for OS version info.. see it really is XP SP2




The last time I installed FF I was using SP1.. surely SP2 is not the issue..


My planned work-around is to install FF to a virtual machine, capture the registry settings, import them here. I don't have the patience- or time to perform a clean install of XP SP2 right now.. or really anytime soon. I'm not having problems installing otherwise: I just upgraded to Thunderbird 2 without issue. I have a malware-free, stable system.

Apologies for troubling you with this. One fresh install of XP Pro SP2 cleared up the issue. Let's lay the blame on a botched SP2 "upgrade" shall we?

FF is a curiously addictive time sink.
