Right, so if I understood what you mean then:

For Firefox I change
http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/toolkit/mozapps/installer/makexpi.pl
http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/browser/installer/windows/browser.jst

For Mozilla I change
http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/xpinstall/packager/windows/makexpi.pl
http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/xpinstall/packager/win_gre/makexpi.pl
http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/xpinstall/packager/windows/browser.jst

In the makexpi.pl scripts I add:

if($inComponentName =~ /browser/i)
{
   # copy gdiplus.dll to browser dir
   if(-e "$topsrcdir/../redist/microsoft/system/gdiplus.dll")
   {
     copy("$topsrcdir/../redist/microsoft/system/gdiplus.dll", 
"$inStagePath/$inComponentName");
   }
}

and in the browser.jst templates I add something like:

     // install gdiplus.dll into the *application* directory
     // we don't care if addFile() fails (if the file does not exist in 
the archive)
     // bacause it will still install
     fileGdiPlus = getFolder(fWindowsSystem, "gdiplus.dll");
     rv          = File.exists(fileGdiPlus);
     logComment("fileExists() returned: " + rv);
     if(rv == false)
     {
       logComment("File not found: " + fileGdiPlus);
       if (is_win2k || is_winme || is_winnt4 || is_win98)  // obtain somehow
       {
         addFile("/Microsoft/Shared/gdiplus.dll",
                 "$Version$",
                 "gdiplus.dll",        // dir name in jar to extract
                 fProgram,             // Where to put this file 
(Returned from getFolder)
                 "",                   // subdir name to create relative 
to fProgram
                 WIN_SHARED_FILE);
         logComment("addFile() of gdiplus.dll returned: " + err);
       }
     }
     else
     {
       logComment("File found: " + fileGdiPlus);
     }

Once I figure out how to set is_win2k, is_winme, is_winnt4 and is_win98 
I'll test this out and let you know how it went.

Thanks very much Dan!
