Mozilla Firefox PR 1.0

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.

@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 :P

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,

what i did is this...

after decompressing the firefox installer (using the latest WinRAR or 7Zip)... i edited config.ini

the changes i made with config.ini were...

line 9:

from Run Mode=Normal

to Run Mode=Silent

line 250 (Dialog Select Install Path):

from Show Dialog=TRUE

to Show Dialog=FALSE

line 289 (Windows Integration-Item0):

from CheckBoxState=TRUE

to CheckBoxState=FALSE

line 294 (Windows Integration-Item1):

from CheckBoxState=TRUE

to CheckBoxState=FALSE

line 299 (Windows Integration-Item2):

from CheckBoxState=TRUE

to CheckBoxState=FALSE

line 370 (Dialog Downloading):

from Show Dialog=TRUE

to Show Dialog=FALSE

however, 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.exe
WinWait, Install Complete
Send, {SPACE}{TAB}{ENTER}
WinHide, Install Complete
denied:
Exit
[ADLIB]

Did you read my post?

If so you missed the Hold on! part near the bottom:

Hold 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)
