[Solved] Pale Moon 25.7.0 installation fail
Using Pale Moon 25.6 for Atom/Xp on XP SP3 , and upon hitting 'Check for Updates' in 'about' screen it downloads the updated version (about 23.x Mb)
After applying update nothing happens (browser didn't restart itself)
I went to download page and get the 25.7 installer , size 19.0Mb (hash SHA-1: 8dd2cb95a7410d4bb4c8ada740d2768b81f7fa3e)
Now installer gives me error that Palemoon can't be installed, and this version requires MS Vista or newer.
Reverting to 25.6
Please fix it

Same thing happened with me.
Now PM will not open--I get a message "palemoon.exe is not a valid Win32 application."
How can I get the old version to work again?

I've just heard they have fixed the issue on facebook, so it's probably ok now, but to be sure lets wait for the official answer.

I've built and published new binaries - this should all be solved now.
