I just downloaded Netscape 7.01 to replace 6.2 that is installed on my PowerBook. When I attempt to install 7.01 I get the following message: "Installation failed due to error: - 1003:" I've downloaded 7.01 twice and the same thing keeps happening. Anyone know what's going on?

Any particular reason you can't use Mozilla or iCab instead, preferably iCab?

What I'm really trying to do is find a way to move my archived mail from Netscape 6.2.2 to Outlook Express. The OE import function doesn't work with 6.2 (which has no export function), but I was hoping that after "upgrading" to Netscape 7 I could use its export function to convert my mail files.

Does Netscape not have a section for installation errors on their site?

And, I just looked at OE. It imports from Netscape 4 on up. Netscape doesn't need to export.

Why the *hell* are you downgrading to OE? I mean, Netscape is a horrible e-mail client, but OE is even worse...

I can't speak for the OS 9 version, but Entourage (and Office, for that matter) v.X is the only Micro$soft product I actually like and use on a regular basis.

I'm getting the same exact error when trying to install Netscape 6 on my iBook which is still running OS 9.1. There doesn't seem to be much to try here--you click INSTALL and it tries for a while and then gives the error message. I have no clue what to try next.

I'm trying to put Netscape 6 up because it is the recommended browser for the AAA Internet Triptik application, which I am trying to use. Netscape 4.7 just doesn't cut it.

Use iCab or IE instead. Netscape 6 was *AWFUL* on the Classic Mac OS.
