  1. At some point during installation, it said something like "InterLink is the browser and MailNews is the mail client", but I think you meant Borealis or whatever.

yes.

  1. The installer itself does download the programs. However, I can't figure it out. It downloaded both of the programs (New Moon x64 and MailNews) into the proper Programs Files directories, which is good. But...
  2. IT created desktop shortcuts for both programs, but it put them on the desktop of the CURRENT USER - rather than in the "Public Desktop" folder. I logged into an administrator account to run the installer and when I logged back in to a standard account, no shortcuts. But that's not a big deal, I can create the shortcuts manually. "New Moon x64" is a good name, but I prefer "MailNews" to "Interlink" (and it opens and shows "MailNews" in the title bar anyways) so I would rename it anyways

known bug, I will work on that.

  1. However, from a standard account, I cannot actually run either program! When I try accessing the respective folder in Program Files, it says that I require administrator privileges to accomplish this!
  2. I know these programs don't require admin rights, so why does the installer lock these browsers down to administrators only? That kind of defeats the whole point.

basically another part of that same bug.

Quote
  1. I'd prefer a simpler version, if possible, that just downloaded the latest of the selected programs and put them in the program files directories, and didn't restrict the directory permissions or create desktop shortcuts. Is this possible?

that is basically what the end goal is, I think. What you say seems to be about what I have, sans mentioned bug. I could easily add a "dont make shortcuts" or a "put shortcut in public/private folder only" option.

How can I recompile your code?

I used winrar to """compile""" (not really, just packing).

I wouldn't worry about it anymore. I was able to successfully fork your scripts to do everything I needed. Here is my CHANGELOG:


echo 1) Support for multiuser installation and use
echo   - To this end, shortcuts are now created in Public Desktop.
echo   - Backwards compatible with NT 5.x
echo 2) Program execution by non-administrative users allowed
echo 3) Shortcuts also created in Start Menu
echo   - Backwards compatible with NT 5.x
echo 4) Updated information about MailNews in the HELP
echo 5) Updated installer tip: "XP/vista" now "XP/Vista/7"
echo 6) The following shortcut was renamed: "Interlink" to "MailNews"

 

If you or anyone is interested I can post the modified code, but I'm guessing most others are fine with how it is now.

Gotcha. I tried 7Z but it didn't work.

I just left it as a bunch of files, works for me. I did have to comment out the stuff that expected it to be in a tmp dir and deleted everything post-install. Don't ask how I found out it did that...

:whistle:

yeah... few mins ago i was thinking first i should document the code more clearly...

No worries, it's all pretty self-explanatory batch. It's not hard to decipher.

I mostly left what was there intact, modified a few things, and added others.

I also forked my own fork to create a version that silently installs MailNews and the appropriate version of New Moon. In theory, I could use Group Policy to add that as a startup script and it would automatically update the browser everyday!

@roytam1 , @vikmin <--

For those who might desire RT ICEAPE Browser (SeaMonkey)
with a Language Pack installed with it.

http://o.rths.ml/gpc/files1.rt/home.html
So , this relates to RT ICEAPE-UXP Browser (SeaMonkey)

https://www.hyperbola.info/packages/?q=iceape
Search for all ICEAPE related items

https://www.hyperbola.info/packages/community/i686/iceape-uxp/
List of Language Packs for RT ICEAPE-UXP Browser

https://www.hyperbola.info/packages/community/any/iceape-uxp-l10n-es-es/
Download (Mirror , right side) FILE = iceape-uxp-l10n-es-es-52.9.20190826-3-any.pkg.tar.xz

Use 7-ZIP software on FILE ... Folder Path is:
\Downloads\Iceape\iceape-uxp-l10n-es-es-52.9.20190826-3-any.pkg.tar ...
\iceape-uxp-l10n-es-es-52.9.20190826-3-any.pkg\usr\lib\iceape-uxp\extensions
There finally , you get to FILE = langpack-es-ES@iceape-uxp.hyperbola.info.xpi

So , you install the Extension *.xpi , did not need any modification here.

*** For LANGUAGE PACK ACTIVATION via About:Config ***

(Default for ENGLISH US)
general.useragent.locale = en-US
intl.accept_languages = en-US, en

(Default for SPANISH ES)
general.useragent.locale = es-ES
intl.accept_languages = es-ES, es

That should be enough on the RT ICEAPE Browser Language Pack installation.

Added observations:
(1) The ICEAPE Language Pack Extension(s) *.xpi file(s) is somewhat hidden , but definitely there.
(2) RT BNAV Browser is ENGLISH Only , in that there is no easy Language Pack support.
(3) RT ICEAPE Browser has "Inspect Element" (Right Click Menu) , RT BNAV does not.
(4) RT ICEAPE Browser has NETWORK settings INTERNAL , RT BNAV does not , must use Extension.
(5) RT ICEAPE Browser has direct uBlock Origin Legacy support now , RT BNAV does not.
... (a) Easy *.xpi EDIT of INSTALL.RDF file allows RT BNAV to work with uBO , but YOU have to do it.

I think new version legacy branch of Ublock Origin - 1.16.14.8 have serious bug - it does not automatically update EasyList - there is a message constantly in Ublock Origin dashboard: A network error prevented the resource from being updated.

It can be updated only manually right now by going in UBO dashboard and force manual update by clicking on small clock icon there and then pushing "Update now" button.

Can someone tell about that to Raymond Hill or JustOff ? That's a serious bug IMHO!

I figured it out!

The reason a UAC prompt pops up when you click Make New Moon the default (helper.exe) is so it can add itself as a program to "Default programs" in Windows.

It's not there by default.

Once an admin does this, it's there for all users. Then, standard users can make it the default or not at their call.

So easy workaround: make programs the default as admin when installing, and there should be no issues down the line.

Couldn't confirm. EasyList shows up-to-date on mine.

A few other filters I use showed errors from the last update attempt, but a manual update fixed them all.

19 hours ago, Dave-H said:

How often are they supposed to be automatically updated?

Not sure how often updates run, but IIRC most filters are considered "out of date" after a couple of days. So I'd guess it starts an update when the browser starts, as well as daily if you leave the browser open for extended periods.

BUG REPORT: The previous build od Basilisk 52, namely 20200222 fails to load both (the correctly installed)  Open H264 Video Codec and the Primetime Content Decription Module again. Reverting to 20200110 fixes it, so it's something incorporated after it.

Since I saw no report about that issue, I presume the latest version (20200229) has it, too, but still had no time to test whether that's true or not..
