jondercik Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 I am trying to create a new silent install for Firefox 1.5 using the firefox CCK from the Mozilla website, it says zip.exe must be in the path. The question I have is has anyone gotten an install of Firefox to work doing this and if so, where is zip.exe obtained from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiMoNsAyS Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 maybe it is refering to pkzip.exe or something similar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jondercik Posted December 5, 2005 Author Share Posted December 5, 2005 I understand that but I need to know what program it is because the parameters that are passed to it wont work if its not the correct program. I wish it said more where to get zip.exe from on the Mozilla site, but it does not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jondercik Posted December 5, 2005 Author Share Posted December 5, 2005 SOF doesnt work well for me. I am aware of it but it always generates errors when ran so I decided to try and go with the official product for the job.@keytotime I have installed 7zip but the name of the executable is different. Should I just copy its executable and rename it zip.exe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
