I'm having the same problem as hostein did. The compression of Browser.XPI takes so long I have to cancel the process. (My page file is set to system managed). I don't have 6 hours of patience as hostein did, but 30+ mins should be well more than enough. It only takes it a minute or so to get to browser.xpi and then just stays there. It shouldn't be taking that much longer than anything else.

I've read the rest of this thread and my extensions, themes, prefs.js are all in the right places. The only thing I've otherwise customized is to set it to a silent install.


Input?

Hey guys,

Just a quick tip for beginners. I've been using SoF for a while without any problems but suddenly found that my bookmarks etc. were not being included in the install.

After much ado, I discovered the reason for this was that I'd inadvertently deleted the Profiles directory out of my FireFox project directory. SoF has a small bug whereby it doesn't create the Profiles directory only copies the relevant files into it.

So, if you don't have the Profiles directory (as given in the SoF.zip download) then you won't have your profile settings saved! (incidentally, SoF does create the Main directory so alls well there!).

Haven't experienced this but very interesting.

SoF don't work on Windows 2000 SP4.
I tried in two different machines at work.

After unpack the setup in the log windows I see "Everything is Ok"
But an Application Error is raised pressing the Next button.

Any Idea?

I am sorry, my English is very bad… I will speak French but if you cannot understand it it is not serious.

J'aurais souhaitais, si tu peux LaptoniC, un tutorial sur ton logiciel : The silence of the foxes, et si possible, et oui je suis ennuyeux , en français. D'après ton flag tu es Marocain n'est-ce pas ? Merci d'avance LaptoniC.

Tu peux venir faire un tour chez nous si tu le désires ! :Win-web.be Ca parle de Unattended aussi !

the extentions part doesn't work in firefox 2.0 (you can't add them using SOF anymore)

[ironside]

Oh yes you can, It's just the profile folder contents are not copied over to the correct folder in SoF, All other components, themes, extensions, searchplugins etc are the same folders as in firefox 1.5.x.x

I presume tou are downloading the .xpi file for the requird extensions and not just copting your extensins foler over to SoF ?

[bledd]

yeah was doing that, maybe i forgot to do something in SOF, i've used it loads before, just haven't done it for a while

i probably forgot to 'copy my files' before packing

[hammr25]

I just got firefox to load my extensions without the XPI. I manually copied over some profile stuff and that must have done it because some of the extensions I now have I don't have an XPI for. Still managed to not get my bookmarks into my sfirefox.exe and installed though.

I need to play with it more.

[microbion]

how about a new SoF version?

[Krenshin]

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I can't get this to work properly with FF v2.0. I was always able to have everything install properly with all of the previous releases of FF. None of my extensions, profile, or themes get installed or applied.

It's basically like I just downloaded straight from the FF homepage, and installed it right away without using SOF.

I did like I've always done with SOF. I put the .xpi extensions in the "Extensions" folder, the .jar themes in the "Themes" folder, Profile in "Profile etc...

I noticed that the actual files are structured differently in FF v2.0 than they were with FF 1.5X.

To anyone who got SOF to play well with FF 2.0, I'd appreciate some insight as to what I'm doing wrong.

it appears that LaptoniC has lot interest in this project

I have luckily written down my attempts to make FF 1.5.X silent. If Mozilla still uses the same installer, it should be easy to do what you want. It just boils down to unzipping the installer, modifying some INIs, adding your XPIs and zipping that all together with a 7zip SFX header.

I just realized why LaptoniC could have given up, the installers internal file/directory structure is totally different from FF 1.X.

Anyone knows where to find docs about the Mozilla Installer?

answering myself.

I think the links should have all information needed.

Both worked great, but firefox did not remember my user names and passwords for all my sites.
Have i missed something out when i used you great app?

i hate to dig up an old thread but i love this program and it seems that SOF doesnt work with Firefox 2.0.0.4 and Thunderbird 2. For firefox all i had to do was change the profile path in profiles.dat (also i just noticed none of my extensions were installed even though i placed the XPIs in the extensions folder), but in thunderbird i had to create a new profile (essentially i created a blank folder in %appdata%\thunderbird called new.default and changed the location in profiles.dat and copied my stuff from the old profile to the new one) and then re-install thunderbird from the basic install because the silent one i created wouldnt display anything (ive had this happen before) but it also screwed up the format for the whole program.

LaptoniC, if you're still around could you please fix this??
