Silence of the foxes

when i try running the silent install, i get a 7zip error: system can't find file specified.  am i missing something for firefox or am i missing a 7zip file somewhere?

This program sounds promising but I have run into this same error as well.

What I did:

- Unpacked FF 1.0.3 with SoF

- Copied extension xpis to project\extensions\

- Copied my prefs.js to project\profile\

- Copied my bookmark.htm to project\profile\

- Packed it in with SoF.

Something I overlooked?

Also, will the produced exe (if I manage to make one that works) be enough to install this unattended (RunOnceEx.cmd method) or does it need switches?

Well, the truth is embarassing :) While testing stuff I had deleted the whole Project directory along with the install.exe file in there.... so no wonder it didn't work! That's sorted then.

I could now make a package and it installs fine...

...except for these minor issues:

- Bookmarks.html doesn't get copied to the created profile

- Adblock extension doesn't install. I will search the forums on this as I recall someone had the same problem.

Hi, I still have problem with the bookmarks.html. It resides in the project/profile directory together with the prefs.js file but it doesn't get carried on to the final package. Extensions work fine but this still escapes me... any tips?

I really dont know the reason I have tested several times and it did worked for me.I will upload new version which will copy components folder too in couple of days.I can look for your problem with that build.

Well I was looking at this app, and im just wondering is this similar to

http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=291258&st=0

But this is probably used for Unattended Installs.

IT does use 7zip. but thats the only similarity. This program is just for backing up and restoring profiles. SoF is for installing firefox with a default profile pre-installed.
