In case anyone else ever runs across this weirdness, I'm supplying the
solution that worked for me.  I removed the uninst.exe from c:\windows. 
The Netscape install would then work (but still run with the Cygnus logo).
If I tried to run the install again, still running Netscape's install, it
would break with the previously mentioned error, which could still be
fixed be removing the uninst.exe file... 

Very odd.
