@Damoz
Yes it does, but does not give you a custom install. The whole point of this and other guides is a custom install.
But thanks.

@Felix
would you like me to post a copy of the !makesfx.cmd ?
I really could use some help here, it seems your method would work best for me but am unable get past this problem.

Hey Felix, great idea and tutorial you have here. I can't wait to try it out but I am encountering a problem.

Hi Shak,

Ok thanks for identifying the issues. I have fixed them and updated the ffstuff.exe file. You can just leave the firefox.sfx file in the same folder as your deployment files - if you want to have it in the winrar folder - just make a change to the !makeSFX.bat.

If you have any other issues or questions let me know

I am getting this same problem, and I don't seem to find a file called ffstuff.exe, where am I supposed to get it.
Thx
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Try reading here

I did that is how I got to have the same problem shak was having, and there is nothing called ffstuff in the file i downloaded from your link.

when I run !makesfx.cmd i get error saying
cannot open exclude.lst
the system cannot find the file specified

cannot open C:\program file\winrar\firefox.SFX
the system cannot find the file specified.

In your post to shak you say you fixed the problem and updated ffstuff.exe.
I cannot find ffstuff.exe

And when I copy firefox.SFX to the winrar folder. i get

cannot open exclude.lst
the system cannot find the file specified

cannot open comment.txt
the system cannot find the file specified
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Did you try downloading Simple-FFDeploy.rar

This is the latest files (have been there for sometime btw) Contains Bob Templeton's FFDeploy, Custom WinRAR SFX Module for Firefox and Extra scripts by `felix` (This one file contains everything you need)

Nevermind,
I have found the issue to be my system. I copied everything to my second drive and it worked without issue.
(This is why it is imperative i get my disk done soon, my current setup is quite buggy)

@felix
This method is great but only has one drawback, It doesn't show up in the add remove list, nor does installers like flash and roboform find it. ( probably real Player, and Quicktime will have problems as well )
But I found a way to fix it.
I just run a silent install of the latest release after running this.
In runonce I first run the installer I create with your method.
Then I run the official release from Mozilla with the -ms switch
this gets my custom install and shows up in the add remove and other installers will find it.

Hope this helps

can you please restore the link of the deployment? Link don't work! Tnx a lot

this thread is a bit long, but I've found a nice way to deploy extensions to the user profile, I may make an official patch to send to mozilla developer, the job is done by hooking extension manager.

just apply attached patch to nsExtensionManager.js, then you
can run start /wait firefox -install-global-extension "unattended://ext1|ext2|ext3|etc" using standard windows
path, don't care about the cmdline it will install in the user profile, a real patch would be add another cmdline to the apprunner, but right now I re-use install-global-extension since it's passed to the extensionmanager js script, so I don't need to recompile firefox.

Hope it will be usefull

Hi,
The link to the Simple-FFDeploy.rar isnt working anymore.
For some reason the normal FFDeploy.exe isnt working for me.
It just makes a zip of nearly 2GB before it makes the exe and took more than 3 hours and still wasent finished with making the sfx. I have a feeling that is not now it is meant to work.
So, I stumbled upon this thread, but the file link isnt working, so i cannot give it a go.

links updated - Hasn't been tested for a while (latest version of FF) - let me know if there are any issues and we will try to sort them out.
