AFAIK the Mozilla stuff (moz/) does not build with MSVC 2008, only with
MSVC2005; that's why it has the unique distinction of allowing a binary
zip file containing all mozilla libraries to be used instead of building
it (--disable-build-mozilla); actually i've never built moz on windows
so i don't even know what you would need.

since it's built with MSVC 2005 and every release of MSVC brings a new
incompatible version of msvcrt libraries, the installer wants to bundles
these ones if you don't disable mozilla completely:
