After you search, you need to then read the thread. My first search ended up turning up this thread, and scroll up, here is your answer. link

Looks like all you are doing is modifying the config.ini file. If you are going to repack it, use 7z, it will save you about 1 more meg. Only program I have seen to do it properly is Silence of the Foxes. Still not the best compression you can get, but it uses the same exact settings as the firefox installer for compression. As for the rest of it, I've had problems. Simonsays's method just adds extra functionality to the installer. You don't see the thread as much, because he finally went the route of making it version independent. I haven't used it, but he does a lot of the things that I do in my installer also. I would recommend that you use Simonsays's cmd file, then package it with Silence of the Foxes. This would give you the best of both worlds.

Did you check to see if Firefox is running in offline mode? Should say something in the status bar. Have you tried creating a new profile, or even a clean install with a new profile?

Most likely it is the cause of an auto scan that runs at startup. Read this thread about how to turn it off, or just delete it entirely.

I used to use acdsee, but it became bloated, and slow. Everyone said the newest version was as fast as the ole 2.4 one, but wasn't to me. Switched to Irfanview, and its fast. Does 98% of what I want. This program looks pretty cool, and I'll take a look.

I've look into the problem some more. It appears to be one of the servers has a bad css file. So it appears to occur at random depending on which server you get. If someone can find another website which has the same problem then I would say its a bug in firefox, but this appears to be a server problem IMHO.

Its not to fix the problem. It is to rule out the possibility of spyware in firefox. If it is an external program, they are a lot easier to rule out, as there are a limited number of places that it can start up automatically. I'm trying to find out if it is a problem that would be firefox specific, which I doubt it is. Most likely he had spyware installed already and it downloaded some updates. People shouldn't fall behind the false security of "spyware removers". Learn to use them as tools to remove it yourself.

Looks fine here. Maybe you have to clear your cache. Try ctrl-f5

Why don't you just uninstall firefox, delete the folder to get the extra files, then reinstall. Make a new profile, and that should be the easiest way to clean it. You can grab your bookmarks.htm, and prefs.js file. Now you have a clean install of firefox again. If it shows the same problems, it is something else in your system.

That usually happens I run this. ipconfig /flushdns You can also make an LMHOSTS file if the IPs are static.

Does anyone know why they stopped inc. 7zS in the 7-Zip distro? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It is an extra now. Not everyone needs it, and its purpose is pretty specialized. Cuts down on the size of the installer, and people who want the new one, can just download the extras pack.

[right][post="355968"][/post][/right] [/quote] First you need to have a profile created. If you are doing an unattended install the easiest way is the -CreateProfile parameter.

[quote name='Bastian_W' date='Jul 17 2005, 07:26 AM']Does anybody know how to install flashGot via the script? I downloaded flashgot-0.5.9.7-fx+mz+tb.xpi but I´m not shure it this section here I made is correct: [Component FLASHGOT] Description Short=FlashGot ;*** LOCALIZE ME BABY *** Description Long=FlashGot plugin Archive=flashgot-0.5.9.7-fx+mz+tb.xpi Install Size=622 Install Size System=1 Install Size Archive=162 Attributes=SELECTED|INVISIBLE|DOWNLOAD_ONLY [right][post="354557"][/post][/right][/quote] As far as I know its a lot more work to integrate extensions into the installer. That would be the correct syntax, but the problem is most likely in the install.js. I've tried integrating the extensions via that way, but they changed the way extensions were installed in one build. Now I just put plugins in my installer, and I install extensions via command line. Think makes this easier too, because extensions update all the time, so you don't have to rebuild the installer for one extension.

I tested this program out to see how it compares to my install. Step 1 works fine Step 2 only the Profile files copy. Nothing happens when I click the other boxes. This may be because I install in %ProgramFiles%\Mozilla\Firefox, and it may be looking else where for those files. Packing works fine. I didn't try installing with it. My suggestions now. Repack xpi files, at least for extensions. To get the best compression in the 7z file, they shouldn't be compressed. That goes for the jar file too. You'll be suprised at how many compress them. Don't use 7zSD.sfx, but instead 7zS.sfx. The other requires another file, which someone may or maynot have. Move 7za.exe, and 7zSD.sfx to a subdirectory. I know what these files are, and tend to just delete them. If it was in a subdirectory I probably wouldn't. For the profile, don't forget user.js, userChrome.css, and userContent.css. Once you implement those, I'll check out bugs with the install.

Try searching a little harder, cause its obvious you haven't.

Just to save you a little bit of time, and shorten your code. WGET.EXE -N -c -q ftp://ftp.symantec.com/AVDEFS/norton_antivirus/static/symcdefsi32.exe REM EXTRACT FILE HERE Should download the latest vdefs. If you don't like wget, ftp works too. ftp.exe -s:%0 goto done open ftp.symantec.com anonymous sav@msfn.org binary hash cd AVDEFS/norton_antivirus/static get symcdefsi32.exe bye :done @ECHO OFF REM EXTRACT FILE HERE

You can do it that way, but then you also have to worry about the weird installers. If an installer is "wrapped" by a compressor, then it can show weird behavior. For example a winrar sfx file will not be completed till the installer finishes running, while a 7z sfx file will not (by default). So if you compress your installer in these wrappers, you can see weird behaviors. Also consolidating the cleanup into one file is easier than one for each program, but you are correct. Ideally it would be better to throw them in with the program install, and not at the end. You are definately correct in your thinking, and are taking steps to improve your install, but we try to break it down for the stupid people more. They would ask why don't we just consolidate everything into one file, yadayadayada. Go with your lowest common denominator, and thats why we go that route.

Shoot there is a new version of how to make it almost every time a new version comes out. Here is one I posted a year ago. http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=28159&st=18 You might have to update numbers, but most of it is not that important. There is probably an older one out there too. If you guys would search before asking questions, we wouldn't have 20 guides of the same thing. Why is it that people think we need to update it every time a minor update comes out? You don't need to be spoon fed about every little detail. If you do, then you are at the wrong board.

I tried this method. Kinda pointless unless you *cough*buy*cough* the product. There are much cheaper and freer alternatives out there. I personally use RunHiddenConsole.exe, and a cmd file (at least for msiexec installs).

In order for it to install correctly the registry entries need to be installed. Having the cab file in the i386 folder means squat if the inf is not running. Your best bet is to look to see if the reg entries are being added by the inf. The best way to do that is to use the nirsoft tool to see if you have a bunch of hotfixes installed. That should be universal across all the packs as far as I know.

YOOOOOOOOOOU!!!!Now what do I win?

Try the at command.

That is pretty much what I do. So, yeah. Not really, but a cmd file should run, but some commands may not appear to run. Usually this is fixed by placing the command in a cmd file. So try to keep the cmdlines.txt file to just cmd files.
