Is there a flag you can set for a firefox install to cancel if it sees that firefox is already installed? I found out if it installs over your installation you loose all your bookmarks, cookies, themes..... the hard way

Thanks Ironside!!!

Worked like a charm..... is there a way to make it just go to the next line instead of exit though? The "go to exit" command skips to the end.

This example may suit you.

CODE

If Not Exist "not_here.exe" (
"msiexec.exe"
)

or do it on one line

CODE

If Not Exist "not_here.exe" "msiexec.exe"

So if firefox.exe does not exist, then run the installation.

This is what I have right now.... and all it does is flash the window quickly and installs nothing even though now the programs are not installed. If I take out the "if" lines it will install all three apps no problem. I cant seem to find what I am missing here.
