toe_cutter Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 dropped Right Heres my little guide to doing it, ill try to be short Some line skipping and i did this on 1.0PREdit: Oh yeah, i forgot to say that i fixed the FF opening part, its in this guide at the bottom Hold on part.Edit again: Added windows integration (Shortcuts)Edit 4th oct: Ive noticed that after first run wizard (import favorites etc) ff doesnt start automaticly, to lazy to check it out now, might be something with the lines 742-759.Open the config.iniGo to line 9Change fromRun Mode=NormaltooRun Mode=SilentOn line 29 you can change where to install FireFoxIf you dont want ADT (Ablah Developer Tools) go past this part:Now if you want ADT make sure you do this:On the line 84 changeDefault Setup Type=Setup Type 0tooDefault Setup Type=Setup Type 1and then go down to line 544 and change this:Attributes=FORCE_UPGRADE|VISIBLEtoo this:Attributes=SELECTED|FORCE_UPGRADE|VISIBLEKeep the rest intact on that line!!Now everyone, continue here:On the lines 288-301 you can change where you want FF icons to be. Just change the appropriate CheckBoxState=TRUE according to the description under to either FALSE or TRUE (duh? but the quicklaunch doesnt work for some reason, im installing FF from RunOnceEx)Go up/down to the line number 392 and edit this:Launch App Checked=TRUEto this:Launch App Checked=FALSEHold on! Were not done yet. This is the important part!Go further down to the lines 742-759 and either comment it out with ; (which i did) or delete them (which i havent tested)Now were done, i hope i havent missed anything, if so tell me and ill have a look.Run it with the setup you downloaded in the first post and all should be good.

edmoncu Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 @toe_cutter: does the method you mentioned gives firefox the ability to silently installed? i tried your suggestion but i was prompted to specify the install folder where firefox should be installed to.plus another thing, once i clicked on Next at the Install Folder dialog, nothing happens and the Next button remains depressed. Even at that state, other buttons are still clickable though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using firefox's setup.exe the same thing happens to me, it just hangs after i press next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your guide says you did this to PR1, but the setup.exe on the first page is for 0.9.3 is it not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toe_cutter Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 I must be missing something. Your guide says you did this to PR1, but the setup.exe on the first page is for 0.9.3 is it not?No, i think you're getting it pretty right.I did this to 1.0PR but i used the setup.exe from the attachment (FirefoxSilent.zip), not 0.9.3 install file.Heres a link to that attachment:http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?act=At...=post&id=179381In it is a setup.exe, use that one The only problem now is that it doesnt start after youve done the import favorites wizard, and that you have to copy a shortcut to the quicklaunch bar (if youre using that option ofc) either yourself or have it done by xcopy somewhere along the installation.

SiMoNsAyS Posted October 5, 2004 Author Share Posted October 5, 2004 First post it's updated! with toe_cutter changes on "config.ini" file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmn Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 This can all be done w/ little work, your favorite text editor , and your favorite compression tool that creates self extracting archives...you will also nee a couple file from the mozilla installer for this...download the stub installer and start it . do not cancel or finish itpull the following files from %TEMP%\ns_temp\ SETUPRSC.DLLSETUP.EXEthe firefox installer is a valid 7zip archive and can be opened in winRar or 7zip (probably winzip too but i haven't confirmed this) just exract it to some working directoryreplace the setup.exe and setuprsc.dll in the working directory with the ones from the mozilla installermodify config.ini as you wish to add extensions and change optionscreat sfx archivefire fox uses the folowing in theirs;!@Install@!UTF-8!Title="Mozilla Firefox"RunProgram="setup.exe";!@InstallEnd@!this should workdont forget the .dll w/out it the installer wont work right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ic0dk0c00 Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 I like the whole sfx archive thing but I still can't get the config.ini too install extensions.This is what I have addedC5=Component Clone_Window_0.2.3[Component Clone_Window_0.2.3]Description Short=Clone_Window_0.2.3Description Long=Clone_Window_0.2.3Archive=Clone_Window_0.2.3.xpiInstall Size=6Install Size System=1Install Size Archive=1Attributes=SELECTEDFileCount= 2What am I missing?

SiMoNsAyS Posted October 6, 2004 Author Share Posted October 6, 2004 (edited) @bmn it's very similar to what it's explained on step1, the only 2 differences i see it's that in the zip attached to first post it's stored the setup.exe file from mozilla installation so you don't need to download it and that you use 7zip and not rar @ic0dk0c00 you can always try to export your profile with your extensions as explained in step2 Edited October 6, 2004 by SiMoNsAyS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toe_cutter Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 @ic0dk0c00Ill have a look into adding extensions into the config in the morning. Until then, hang tight on step 2 in the first post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toe_cutter Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Ive been trying to add an extension via the installers config.ini for the past 3 hours with no luck. My conclusion is that every extension's install.js would need to be edited. Alot.And quite frankly, i dont know how to do so. Ive tried editing one extension to get it to work, but all i got was an invalid_argument error (code -208).So if you really want extensions, go with Step 2 on the first post@SiMoNsAySHave you tried this tool before? -> http://home.comcast.net/~ifrit/FFDeploy.htmlim currently running it, but it seems to hang when building the exe, 100% cpu aswell...
