can't install Firefox on Vista


I have a new computer with Vista (home).
I downloaded the "Firefox Setup 2.0.0.5" install file from mozilla and when I try to execute to install I get this msg:
"... firefox 2.0.0.5.exe is not a valid Win32 application"

Help!
Jim

The download is corrupt or 64 bit. Just re-download it from their official website and it should be fine, but as Snuffy said, take heed!

Worth reading if you use FireFox or thinking about FireFox.

I have it installed here with no issues. Probably, as Crabby stated, the file you downloaded is corrupted, downloading and reinstalling the file might work. You may also want to go Custom Install instead of standard and untick these two options: DOM inspector and Quality Feedback.
