Firefox silent install WITH plugins?

[couzin2000]

Ok, after having read thru SimonSays' guide, and after having used the search option (thx evryone for letting me know), I must ask this now.

I use the RunOnceEx method to install my XP SP2, and I wanna include Firefox 1.0 with Java 1.4.2.06 and Flash 7. Now the thing is, I can get these installed on their own (except I don't have a silent switch for the ORIGINAL Firefox download, not SimonSays' file - I won't use that one)and I want to associate the 3, basically I wanna run Firefox with the Java VM and Flash plugin.

Now, the guide you have has a lot of switches for RunOnceEx, but this is for SimonSays' modified version of Firefox. Since I always use original progs, I'd much rather have the "simple" version.

If anyone has info about this, pls post it. (AND, if anyone has a problem with me asking this question, as some of you have had with my previous questions, please refer to the top of this post. I have no trouble taking criticizm and doing stuff on my own, but I also like to get some help sometimes.)

Thanks

you've found the main problem on this. you CAN'T use the original installer because is not silent by default

on the first post of the thread i started, there is a link to an installer made by @totoymola, well there are 2, one that include themes, extensions and etc and the other, basically the same as original plus flash plugin.

with that installer and sun's java: ready!

hope it helps

Thanks for the tip Astalavista, but after re-reading the entire guide I am still not finding the link you are referring to.

I want to be clear about it though: I definitely like the idea of having all the stuff that the first method suggests, however there are some changes made to the actual file that I'm quite unsure of, such as the preference tweaks. Also, I won't have all the plugins installed (MS Office and Real Jukebox for starters), so I don't know if this adds anything to the overall weight of the Firefox install.

I actually copy-pasted all the Reg lines for all methods posted in that guide, and I reviewed them carefully, yet some things elude me still. This is why I'm thinking of the stripped-down install of the original file, but if you explain a little about how the first method (SimonSays') works, I could certainly convert to this.

I'm just worried about Extensions being in there, because some have caused crashes in the past (they were pre-1.0PR). Also, since I'm not necessarily well-vered in this (this is my 1st attempt at an unattended install), I'm not sure how to install the Java platform, RealPlayer, and all these other apps. Some I know, some I don't.

If you're willing to give a hand, maybe just a point in the right direction might help.

Thanx simonsays. I was wondering why there were no /? or /help in their installer. I might just switch over now. I'll try a little more research, but as I said, maybe some help wouldn't be so bad.
