keytotime Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Wha the firefox .msi does is it extracts the same files that are in the regular setup, usually to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox Installer. Then it lanches the installer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfmartel Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Camtasia from TechsmithWell i don't care what exactly it does.....The 2 things i wanted are there#1) Official from mozilla.org installer#2) Installe with simple switch /qn or /qbThis is much more simple than any other method found in the topic, or using some unofficial build.

Well im not disapproving what u are doing...if you want your Firefox installed with tweaks the way you like it... thats fine...But in my case, i dont need these...i want something very easy with the default settings... i dont want to specify a lot of setting for my users in my corporate environment....What i needed was something very easy without any tweaks.In my case, i guess im lucky... worked with that MSI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nologic Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Well I'm at a stand still with my latest...trying to alter the native installers config.ini to add and install themes and extensions.As is they are added to the ini file...they do show up during custom install....but they hang when trying to perform the installation of them.That said this code with minor tweaks should work just fine with Mozilla...just not currently with Firefox.I think ToeCutter (?name?) said he had to edit the xpi and theme files in order to make it work....if I could find out what those edits are I could probably automate the whole repackaging of the files.For those interested in seeing whats going on the files and folder structure is attached.Notes:Extract contents of Firefox installer to \Install\ folderPlace Extension XPI files in the \Cache_XPI\ folderPlace Theme JAR files in the \Cache_Theme\ folderExecute the Firefox_Build.au3 file to assemble the package which will all be stored in the \Install\ folder.You can execute the Firefox_Clean.au3 to restore the \Install\ folder to its prior state before changes in the config.ini took place along with the addition of JAR & XPI files to the package.Any ways any helpful ideas would be welcome.

SiMoNsAyS Posted January 28, 2005 Author Share Posted January 28, 2005 @jfmartel, it appears that the .msi file you provided a link, only accept the silent switches when it isn't renamed as @Astalavista said me. he also told me that after a time using it, a QFA popup becomes annoying.i hate that f**** QFA agent so i'll stick to my custom setup and i recommend others to do the same.btw, nice find, let's hope mozilla org. can improve that msi installer.

Astalavista Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 we can ask totoymola to use msi builder or orca to hack it so the QFA is not installed. that would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobby Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 I read on Mozilla News Forum that if you delete the pluginreg.dat file it recreates it for you. I was looking through this guide and just wondered if instead of having to edit the .dat file you didn't need it at all?From the Mozilla News site talking about a problem someone had with the Acrobat plugin:What is your os? You might want to go into your profile folder and delete the pluginreg.dat file. Then, when you restart firebird it would recreate it with the correct reader. Also, did you uninstall the 5.0 version or install the 6.0 version on top of the old one?There was a reply confirming that this had solved the problem.
