troycicle Posted September 26, 2004 Author Share Posted September 26, 2004 When you make your script, make sure you don't call it Firefox.exe. I called it that, and finally found out the reason I was getting an attention windows saying Firefox is running in the background was because the process it was running was Firefox.exe. This process is the same when you run Firefox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T3chDad Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 @Rohaq of course it works perfectly but only if your profile it's in C:\ and if you are using the english version of XP so your %APPDATA% looks like \Application Data\ and not like mine \Datos de programa\ the guide i tried to do it's language and drive independant This is not true (any longer). While the initial version, had the issue you speak of, It has long-since been fixed. It does not matter where your userprofile or firefox installation exists. There are no more hard-coded paths within any of tools. the %USERPROFILE% and %APPDATA% environment variables are used for all paths. I have had numerous other admins veryify and test in other languages and configurations.Thanks,Bob Templeton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1chaoticadult Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 I just made an inno setup for firefox with reg entries. That solved my problem with this. Good effort by everyone to obtain a good method for installing firefox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edmoncu Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 what i did is this...after decompressing the firefox installer (using the latest WinRAR or 7Zip)... i edited config.inithe changes i made with config.ini were...line 9:from Run Mode=Normalto Run Mode=Silentline 250 (Dialog Select Install Path):from Show Dialog=TRUEto Show Dialog=FALSEline 289 (Windows Integration-Item0):from CheckBoxState=TRUEto CheckBoxState=FALSEline 294 (Windows Integration-Item1):from CheckBoxState=TRUEto CheckBoxState=FALSEline 299 (Windows Integration-Item2):from CheckBoxState=TRUEto CheckBoxState=FALSEline 370 (Dialog Downloading):from Show Dialog=TRUEto Show Dialog=FALSEhowever, even with those modifications, the last dialog still appears and prompts me to launch firefox... a modification of the associated dialog wasn't enough to fix it (it hungs up the installation).so what i did was to add a simple autoit script to automate that part only. here's the autoit script i did (uhmm, well, got it from a user called - Author: Adam Mujaj (m00j@optusnet.com.au)).Run, setup.exeWinWait, Install CompleteSend, {SPACE}{TAB}{ENTER}WinHide, Install Completedenied:Exit[ADLIB] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gert-Paul Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 Now someone created a MSI-installer for Firefox 1.0PR (0.10.1). I didn't test it, but seems to work for most people.See more info and download links in this topic on MozillaZine: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=138033Direct download: http://www.frontmotion.com/Firefox/FireFox-0.10.1PR-enUS.msi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
