Fabian,
Update: I checked the zip file for the presence of the dlls in the components
directory that had older dates. Those dlls did not show up in the zip file so
I renamed them to all .old names. Then Moz started without this warning
message.
So the problem is caused by old dlls that new installer builds don't wipe
out. I normally run the installer.exe rather than unzipping. But even the
installer doesn't get rid of all the old dlls that are no longer used. Then
Moz still tries to load them (why?) and tries to resolve references that are
to functions that are no longer used.
Either Moz or the installer ought to have better behavior here.
