The instructions say unzip then run the installer. You already know the
name of the installer. :-)

You must have deleted a lot of Mozilla builds from the command line.

Run it without the /c parameter to see what it wants to do.

Your empirical tests with Unimaint seem to indicate there's lots of truth
to this.
