A few switchless installers

Recommended Posts


I dont know how you did it Shark, but my silent switchless for Firefox 1.5 took about 45 seconds. Only one minor change was needed in the config.ini. (change Run Mode from normal to silent.

[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=Silent <================= RIGHT HERE

Company Name=Mozilla
Product Name=Mozilla Firefox
Product NameInternal=Mozilla Firefox
User Agent=1.5 ({AB_CD})

; Destination Path values:
; PROGRAMFILESDIR
; WINDISK
; WINDIR
; WINSYSDIR
Path=[PROGRAMFILESDIR]\Mozilla Firefox

; Sub Path, when set will indicate to Setup to create a subfolder from
; what is offered to the user to change. It will not be shown to the user
; but simply created:
;
; ie: shown to user : [Path]
; actually created: [Path]\[Sub Path]
; (where [Path] is the Path= key above)
Sub Path=

; Controls the Browse button that allows the user to
; change the destination path of the product.
; Default value is FALSE;
Lock Path=FALSE

I always prefere the original packages - but thats just my opinion - makes its easier to keep my DVD up2date. So

Firefox_Setup.exe -ms

does the job. As for the Quicklaunch icons or start menu entries i run a simple cmd afterwards to delete/create a shortcut to wherever I want, e.g.:

"%userprofile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\"

As for the extensions/themes i put them all into one directory (i know, this is just a method to install the extensions, NOT to personalize them - and im not sure why i included the profile creation :D - anyway, it works). When you run this from a cmd %e is ok - when you want to inlcude it into a .cmd you have to replace %e by %%e.

"%programfiles%\mozilla firefox\firefox.exe" -CreateProfile profilename "%userprofile%\Mozilla\Firefox"

IF EXIST "%programfiles%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" for %e in ("%cdrom%\Software\Firefox\*.xpi") do "%programfiles%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -install-global-extension "%e"

IF EXIST "%programfiles%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" for %e in ("%cdrom%\Software\Firefox\\*.jar") do "%programfiles%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -install-global-theme "%e"
