the self-extracting .exe code so it simply uncompresses
its contents without running setup.exe at the end.
There are two fixes to fhe extra.c file.
1) When running in silent/auto mode, if there's not enough disk space, the
installer will go into an infinite loop. This was discovered by fixing bug
#40708. The fix is to simply exit the installer (one line fix).
2) #40715 - Installer could unintentionally delete the selected installation
dir. I've talked to Dan and Samir about this one line fix, and
they both agreed that it should happen.

download size (size of archive), not installation size.
Also has code to help fix bug #21034. Added code place holder to show the
new Additions dialog.
Fixed problem with not calculating disk space required properly. It would
not take into account components that get installed outside the user
selected folder (such as the case with security module, which needs to be
installed in a centralized place). This required the installer to be link
in nsreg_s.dll in order to tap into the Netscape registry to anticipate
where the modules might be installed at.
affects only windows.
Installer registers in the Windows registry where mozilla.exe gets
installed to.
Installer is aware of the previous mozilla.exe installation location
and offers it as the default destination location.
Installer now is able to show a Readme.txt in the SetupType dialog.
Eliminated most of the "Netscape" and replaced it with "Mozilla"
