Hi guys,

I'm rebuilding my unattended WinXP Pro CD for updates.

i have a little problem with the silent installation of Firefox 2.0 on my PC (+ tested in VMware too) :

the silent installation of FF finishes without any problem, but when windows install is over, i can see that all the programs shortcuts in the taskbar (all but Desktop + IE6 shortcuts) are gone !

i should see Foobar2000 + Firefox in it.

with the same unattended WinXP CD, and replacing FF 2.0 by FF 1.5.0.7 (from my last version), all is OK the shortcuts are normally there.

so really don't see why the fact of installing FF 2.0 can do that. Here are the line from my RunOnceEx file :

REG ADD %KEY%20 /VE /D "Mozilla Firefox 2.0" /f

REG ADD %KEY%20 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Softwares\Firefox\Firefox2.exe -ms" /f : silent switch

REG ADD %KEY%20 /V 2 /D "REGEDIT /S %CDROM%\Softwares\Firefox\Firefox_defaultbrowser.reg" /f : FF for default browser

REG ADD %KEY%20 /V 3 /D "%CDROM%\Softwares\Firefox\Firefox2_prefs.exe" /f : my theme/extensions/prefs

i tried using "Firefox2.exe /S" too.

i also tried to install it at different places in RunOnceEx & using *.cmd file.

same problem.

have you any idea of why the installer of Firefox 2.0 causes that ?

Note: I'm using Windows XP Pro SP2 ENG. version, and official FF 2.0 downloaded from Mozilla site.

thx a lot.

a little problem but very annoying..
