Are getting this error during the browser install process?

I am getting this message after installation. Firefox is fully installed. When I launch it, it goes to the "Choose User Profile" and no "Default Profile" is present for selection. So I click on "Create Profile", go to the Wizard and after clicking "Finish", I get this error. I have deleted the profiles folder and reattempted to create a profile. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, but still get the same error.
