    Firefox Setup 1.5.0.3 Switches List

    in Application Installs

    Posted · Edited by urie

    Mozilla-Firefox-1.5.0.3.exe -ms

    Ok what gives? I did that and FF doesn't install! Am I missing something? I got "Firefox Setup 1.5.0.3.exe" directly from the mozilla.com site, put it into my $oem$ and added this to my runonceex.cmd

    REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "FireFox 1.5" /f
    REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%PP%Firefox Setup 1.5.0.3.exe -ms" /f

    :wacko:

    Maybey try renaming it without spaces.

    REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "FireFox 1.5" /f
    REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%PP%Firefox_Setup_1.5.0.3.exe -ms" /f

    Problem with CDRW drive.

    in Hard Drive and Removable Media

    Posted

    Clean install of Windows? I would leave that as a last and most extreme measure. I've had this install (Win98SE) since summer of 1999 (cloned several times and has gone through 4 systems so far). I have too many customized apps in place, (80+ GB), it would take days, or even weeks to get everything back to previous condition.

    Is there a smaller/free OS that has CDR-CDRW burn capabilities that I could install and test my burner? Linux is not an option since it doesn't detect or support my specific VIA SATA/PATA chipset (VT6421L)

    Any ideas?

    God help you if you hard drive goes 80+ GB is that your system drive or is it partitioned why cant you make a backup with acronis for example and do a clean install of windows to check then just restore again and you will be back to normal.

    not able to login to xp

    in Windows XP

    Posted

    You are correct, CTRL+ALT+DEL will bring up a winlogon box after pressing twice, but there's a catch - this only works in XP Pro, not XP Home.

    For XP home just start in safe mode that brings up administrator login screen

    i'd like to put in a request for inno unpacking, it's becoming pretty popular.

    there's an inno project at sourceforge if you're interested

    I think you should at least try the program first it does unpack innosetup files

    Firefox Setup 1.5.0.3 Switches List

    in Application Installs

    Posted

    Here is compleate list of switches in firefox i don't know where some people are getting the -setdefaultbrowser it is not in the list,

    notes unpack firefox installer and run setup with -h

    Usage: setup.exe [options]

    	   [options] can be any of the following combination:
    			-h: This help.
    			-a [path]: Alternate archive search path.
    			-app [app id]: ID of application which is launching the installer (shared installs)
    			-app_path [app]: Points to (full path) representative file of application (Shared installs)
    		*	-dd [path]: Suggested install destination directory. (Shared installs)
    	*	-greLocal: Forces GRE to be installed into the application dir.
    	*	-greShared: Forces GRE to be installed into a global, shared dir (normally)
    					c:\program files\common files\mozilla.org\GRE
    		-reg_path [path]: Where to make entries in the Windows registry. (Shared installs)
    		-f: Force install of GRE installer (Shared installs), 
    					though it'll work for non GRE installers too.

    		-greForce: Force 'Component GRE' to be downloaded, run, and installed.  This
    			bypasses GRE's logic of determining when to install by running its
    			installer with a '-f' flag.
    		-n [filename]: Setup's parent process filename.
    	*	-ma: Run setup in Auto mode.
    	*	-ms: Run setup in Silent mode.
    		-ira: Ignore the [RunAppX] sections
    		-ispf: Ignore the [Program FolderX] sections that show
    			the Start Menu shortcut folder at the end of installation.
    	*	-showBanner: Show the banner image in the download and install progress dialogs
    	*	-hideBanner: Hide the banner image in the download and install progress dialogs
    	*	-cleanupOnUpgrade: Tells Setup to check to see if user is upgrading (installing on top
    		of previous version of product).  If user is upgrading:
    		*	   NORMAL mode: prompt user on how to proceed
    				*	   All other modes: assume user wants to cleanup.
    	*	-noCleanupOnUpgrade: Tells Setup to not check if user is upgrading (installing on top
    		of previous version of product).  This will disable the cleanup feature.
    	* means it will override config.ini

    Reg file for setting the default browser to firefox 1.5

    in Windows Tips 'n' Tweaks

    Posted

    Yzöwl i used the reg file posted here

    http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?s=&showtopic=71739&view=findpost&p=490133

    Also why would a script which associates filetypes etc. with IE be of any use to Firefox users.

    i had to use the vbs script i posted to get registry setting back to default as i said there were no icons on html or htm files not even when firefox was set to default browser.

    Nero 7.2.0.3

    in Application Installs

    Posted · Edited by urie

    No, everyone is using hp38guser's Nero Lite Installer or built an own installer. :D

    I disagree with you Dynaletik - a good number of people do use Autoit Nero 7x script for installation...

    Yes felix, i agree i use Boardbabe's excellent autoit script for last version you have the choice what you want to install ok you need full nero installer but you end up with what you want, i still cant make my mind up as reguards to what to use nero 7 looks good but so is nero 6 and a lot smaller after using NCAB from vcBlackBox credits to him = 23MB Nero+Nerovision Express+Nero tools still does all i need :D
