I am currently rewriting FFaM again. This time in WPF .NET 4.0. I am in the beginning stages of the layout. If, you would like to offer your suggestions as to the UI, please post them here or email me. This is a tool that I learn with and learn from. You can follow me on github. ~jonnyboy

Glad it's working!!

FFaM v1.0.2.11 posted. -disabled 'older' Firefox version, Mozilla has removed the files and the links are invalid -disable checking MD5 sums, for now -changed 'Plugins' groupbox text to bold -fix bug with 0 byte files created when download flash installer -fixed bug when deleting files that are open, by adding dialog to close explorer -fixed bug where files named prefs.*, other htan main prefs.js were never copied

The new website for FFaM went 'Live' today. Thanks go to Stefan Beer for his efforts in creating the page and doing all the heavy lifting to get it ready for use. If, you have a moment, could I ask you to head over to Sourceforge and write a review or add a recommendation? It would help alot. Also, if you would check out the new website and click one of Social Networking buttons in the page footer. A little 'word of mouth' advertising would be greatly appreciated. Thank you ~jonnyboy

Hey all, I'm stumped. I've been trying to figure out how to display unicode characters in the console. This is required as the only know way to pin shortcuts is using an obj.verb in vbscript or jscript. I have install every language pack available and the are 7-8 languages that will not display. I have only found one font, TerminalVector, and it leaves 8 incomplete. The built in fonts get all but 7. Do any of you know where to locate a complete unicode font? ***EDIT*** Nevermind. To view the output of the script, I need to a complete(there isn't one) font. To run the script, it isn't necessary. I ahve most of them working. I have to go through the rest one at a time and grab the string. ***EDIT*** I have all 35 languages working.

If you know them switches off of the top of your head, could you post. I have not used msi file in a couple of years. I would have to take them time, surely only a few minutes, but I have lots of other things to get finished. BTW, don't look them up, only post if you know them. Thank you msi is usually /quiet /norestart or /qn for silent install. Thank you. It looks like only the 'full' installer is available in an msi installer, the 'slim' should be at http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/shockwave/default/english/win95nt/latest/sw_lic_slim_installer.msi. But, it isn't there.

I'm not having any problems with the flash installers, but if I can find the correct switches, then I will use the msi for shockwave. The fact that the link is the name of the file makes it easier for version checking. Even if the install ends up in the same place, still needing to approve, it is still a better solution. Thank you

Thank you for the link. I'll make the changes in the next update. Thank you

If you are running a system with system language other than English, I have a question. Do the "Pinned" shortcuts appear when you choose to create them? If not, let me know. Thank you

FFaM v0.9.0.5 posted It is almost complete, there are still a few rough edges. But, here is what was completed in this update: -fixed file copy overwrite -fixed bug in paths -completed addon creation (please test, I do not use these anymore) -file created in same as location as FFaM, moved from desktop -completed flash installer - on 64-bit systems the 64-installer is used -completed shockwave installer - on first use of Shockwave, you will have to approve the license and complete the install -added language identifier to installer filename -completed custom install location -completed custom profile name and/or path -completed set as default browser -completed shortcuts creation

I think the same thing. I will have to look into using HTTPWebRequest to validate timestamps. Or, something along those lines. Thank you for your efforts.

Anyone??

I need a little help. The old links for Adobe Flash Installer have been removed and replaced with these links. In my app, I would like to verify the MD5 hashes of the downloaded files. Now, to my question. Does anyone know where I can find a link for the MD5 hashes, posted by Adobe?

FFaM v0.9.0.4 posted Changelog

FFaM v0.9.0.3 posted Changelog

FFaM v0.9.0.2 posted Hello all!! Long time, no here. I finally finished with my classes and had a little time to work on this the last couple of days. I know, it was supposed to be done before Christmas. Sorry, this was the best that I could do. I am posting the current file on my sourceforge. Be warned, it is not 100% done, but it is very close. A few things that do not work, yet. 1) Flash and Shockwave will not install. 2) The shortcuts will not be created. 3) It may only install into the default location. 4) The app is missing alot of error catching routines. I am very new to C# and do not know how to use it very well. So, you may get an "unhandled exception" or some other fatal error. If you do, please screenshot it and post it for me. Then, I can fix it. To finish these few items, I need to set up a some VM 's to test the installs on. This was written and tested on 1 Win7 x64 system. Please test and post any bugs. The app requires .Net 3.5. Sorry, but I could not get everything working properly in .Net 2.0. Thank you all, ~jonnyboy Changelog

They are saved in "C:\Users\*user name*\AppData\Local\Microsoft", not the registry. That is the default location for user.config, that is built into all C# and VB apps. So, the file FFaMv.9b1.exe would not run on x86?

I have finished the UI for FFaM v.9b1. If you have a little free time, please download and try to make it throw an exception or error. I think everything works except creating the installer. I am open to suggestions on improving the UI. It is written in C# and requires .Net 2.0 and as all .Net apps, it's a little slow to open.

What are the names of the folders that are not being copied? The config.xml is most likely being re-written on first run and removing references that do not exist. The error could be a couple of things, the copy is not copying all subfolders or the subfolders have names that are being restricted.
