hi all just wondering if any one has managed an unattended install of firefox with all there personal info incorperated, ive searched google and forums but cant find what im looking for and the ones i have found dont seem to work

old switch ( -ms) is working with this version also.i tested it.

so would it be somthing like ths

REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "firefox" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\firefox\Firefox 1.0.7 /-ms /f

actually iam using wpi for appz installation.so this is my wpi code for firefox

cmd1[pn]=['%cdrom%\\DOCS\\Install\\FireFox\\Firefox1.0.7.exe -ms']

cmd2[pn]=['%cdrom%\\DOCS\\Install\\FireFox\\profile.exe']

Open config.ini with Wordpad at the top of the file is this:

[General]

; Run Mode values:

; Normal - Shows all dialogs. Requires user input.

; Auto - Shows some dialogs, but none requiring user input. It will

; automatically install the product using default values.

; Silent - Show no dialogs at all. It will install product using default

; values.

Run Mode=Normal

Just change Run Mode=Normal to Run Mode=Silent and save the file. Job done.

I would still, as always, recommend 'Silence of the Foxes', avaliable here. Confirmed to work with the latest 1.0.7 version. It will allow you to add all your extensions, themes, bookmarks, personal touches etc into one silent installer.

any info much apreiciated

Download the Windows (Offline Installation) version of Java from

http://java.com/en/download/windows_xpi.jsp

start the installation as usual. Accept the licence agreement and then look for the following files at

C:\Documents and Settings\ <Your User name will be here> \Local Settings\Application Data\{3248F0A6-6813-11D6-A77B-00B0D0150050} (these numbers and letters are purely random so will be anything).

In this folder will be two files called 1033.MST and J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 5.msi

Save these files to another folder in your unattended setup. Start the installation using

c:\folder name\J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 5.msi /qb

(Just checked the Application Data folder is hidden unless you use Control Panel-->Folder Options-->View-->Show hidden folders and files)

another vote for silence of the foxes.

i used to use the -ms switch but the aforementioned method is the best.

you seem to have a typo in your code :

REG ADD %KEY%\035 /VE /D "jre505" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\jre\jre505.exe /"

should probably be :

REG ADD %KEY%\035 /VE /D "jre505" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\jre\jre505.exe" /f
