Hi i used wpi to install firefox with this command:

"%wpipath%\Install\Firefox 3.5.2\setup.exe" /INI=%wpipath%\Install\Firefox 3.5.2\ff.ini -ms

this is my ini:

Quote

[Install]
; The name of the directory where the application will be installed in the
; system's program files directory. The security
; context the installer is running in must have write access to the
; installation directory. Also, the directory must not exist or if it exists
; it must be a directory and not a file. If any of these conditions are not met
; the installer will abort the installation with an error level of 2. If this
; value is specified then InstallDirectoryPath will be ignored.
; InstallDirectoryName=Mozilla Firefox

; The full path to the directory to install the application. The security

; InstallDirectoryPath=c:\firefox\

; By default all of the following shortcuts are created. To prevent the
; creation of a shortcut specify false for the shortcut you don't want created.

; Create a shortcut for the application in the current user's QuickLaunch

QuickLaunchShortcut=false
;
; Create a shortcut for the application on the desktop. This will create the
; shortcut in the All Users Desktop directory and if that fails this will

DesktopShortcut=false
;
; Create shortcuts for the application in the Start Menu. This will create the
; shortcuts in the All Users Start Menu directory and if that fails this will

StartMenuShortcuts=true

; The directory name to use for the StartMenu folder.
; note: if StartMenuShortcuts=false is specified then this will be ignored.
; StartMenuDirectoryName=Mozilla Firefox

Can someone please tell me why it keeps making the shortcuts i dont want it too?

You need quotes.

"%wpipath%\Install\Firefox 3.5.2\setup.exe" /INI="%wpipath%\Install\Firefox 3.5.2\ff.ini" -ms

[DaMageGR]

[Grake]

oh get rid of the -ms at the end as well.

Hi, fyi I just did place Firefox 3.5.3 to my unattended Windows XP cd, but the /S switch does not work, it still acts like normally interacted setup.

I used the old one: Firefox353.exe -ms

Dunno, if this is the "old" switch, but it's the one that worked for me.

James, what do I do to make a silent install of Firefox 3.5.6 but in another language, can i simply use the /S sswitch?

to summarize:

download latest version at official web page: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/products/

Copy and paste to FF.INI sample code posted here (credits: DaMageGR), change settings to your needs.

Install with command:

"%inst_dir%\Firefox Setup 3.5.7.exe" /INI="%inst_dir%\FF.INI"

%inst_dir% is a placeholder to your install path where .exe and .ini files are stored.

-ms argument not required when using /INI argument as stated here (credit: Grake).

Note:
Mozilla changed the Silent install for FireFox 3.5. Now the switch is "-ms"
rather than the old "/S"

Just thought I'd pass that alone if you're like me you've been doing "/S"
all morning!
