Unattended Mozilla Install

[quote]Making Mozilla install silently and unattended

    * I downloaded "mozilla-win32-1.4-installer.exe"
    * I ran the installer, and before the first question, copied the contents of the folder "ns_temp" from C:\Documents and Settings\fredrick\ Local Settings\Temp\ns_temp. (if you don't grab a copy of this directory, the Mozilla installer deletes it after its install.
    * I quit the Mozilla installer.
    * Within ns_temp you'll see a setup.exe program, a bunch of .xpi files, and a couple of .ini files. The xpi files are actually zip files with a different 3-letter extension, ".xpi".[/quote]


I have run the installer (Firefox Setup 1.0.4.exe), located ns_temp but the only two files in the directory are install_status.log and UNINSTALL.EXE

Any insights as to the whereabouts of the other files?
I fear that the answer is more than obvious.

Thanks for reading,

Steve

@Anderz:

You probably know this by now but you have to use the setup.exe from the Mozilla setup ;)

@Steve1012:

Welcome to MSFN...

ahem...

U tried (with winrar installed) right-clicking on the downloaded setup file and extracting it using WinRAR? ;) ;)

Also, you said the Firefox setup, NOT the mozilla setup btw.

N.

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.

First you need to have a profile created. If you are doing an unattended install the easiest way is the -CreateProfile parameter.
[code]"%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla\Firefox\firefox.exe" -CreateProfile default[/code]
Then install your extensions via
[code]START /WAIT "" "%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla\Firefox\firefox.exe" -install-global-extension "%FULLPATHTOEXTENSION%\mommy.xpi"[/code]
Note: I use a slightly different path to firefox than the default install, so change it to your path if you need to.
