Mozilla won't install on XP.2 -- certificate failure blockage by IE

Hi, when I try to install Mozilla, I can run the stub which I transferred from my Vista machine, buy it fails at the very end.

IE comes up, and states that it's blocking my downloads because of bad certificates.

I've lowered my security level, and added all the mozilla sites to safe sites, and rebooted, but still no success.

Is there any way to download the complete package to my vista machine, and not use IE ???????????????

Thanks, Ihor

Chosen solution

Try the full setup for Windows and not the small online stub installer.

www.mozilla.org/firefox/all and pick your language.

For future reference this can be found on www.mozilla.org -> Systems & Languages link below green download.
