Comment (by pospeselr):
This failure happens due to a missing wow_helper.exe in the TBB package.
Everything works just fine when I copy over the version packaged with
latest Firefox. Currently investigating why this exe isn't being built or
packaged.
An interesting sidenote, the latest Chromium sandbox code no longer uses
wow_helper.exe. Seems like it was removed in Chromium commit
1812d0d777dbe2162e88f6a0a205c8b483008626 as part of removing support for
XP and Vista.
