Try downloading it again as it sounds like the file got corrupt in the transfer process (it is like interference on a bad telephone line). Hopefully the second download of the installer will work better. I assume the win32 message happens when you try and open the install file which you have downloaded.
If you still get problems try posting in the firefox help section - they are really good (it is on the Firefox home page).

I recently downloaded version 2 for Mac and I still haven't experience anything wrong with this new version so far (keep my fingers crossed). I am still hesitated to update to version 2 for my PC at home as I heard a lot of you out there complaining about the new version not being stable. For now, I just sit and wait.

Download the app again, this time by visiting the firefox website and download using your browser.

You were just unlucky and got a corrupted file. Doesn't happen often but when it does it's a bummer.

Try downloading the installation file again. It may have been corrupted during download.

I've had a few problems with Firefox over the last few weeks.

most probably the installation file is somehow corrupted...
go to: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html and download again and try

I suspect that you may not have temporarily disabled your anti-virus software before downloading.
