[[Tool] FFaM v1.0.2.11]

FYI, the full installation procedures (shortcuts, %ProgramFiles% destination, etc.) have not been built into the installer. Your SFX script only contains the following at this point:

;The comment below contains SFX script commands

Setup=Firefox.hta

Silent=1

Overwrite=1

I reverted back to the original of working in the current directory and forget to note in the changelog. There were too many complaints.

Thanks

[WinXP x64 Compatability]

Hello Jonnyboy, in the installation of any Addon I have the following mistake, you found some way of solving it.

[ INF Install failure. Reason: Could not retrieve the system message. You may run out of the system resource." ]

Thank you anyway.

Sorry, I missed your post earlier.

I am not sure what you need. Could you explain in a little more detail.

Thanks

[Delete shortcut depending?]

You could use a call to command prompt - calling a batch file that will perform the test and delete if necessary. rick can help with the syntax. But, I have used this in the past to create a service using vbscript. This is what I used to create the service.

[Install]
RunPostSetupCommands =Create.Service:1
.........
[Create.Service]
CMD /Q /C cscript //nologo """%programfiles%\%scripts_dir%\InstallService.vbs"""

Creating a batch file should be easy enough. I can help with it if you need it.

[[Tool] FFaM v1.0.2.11]

running your app on a fresh install of Windows XP SP3 x86, with the following installed:

# Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)

# Windows Script 5.7 (part of SP3, verified)

# Internet Explorer 6 and IE7 both tested

# Internet Connection

# dotnet 1.1, 2.0, 3.0, 3.5

When I run the app I get an HTA error:

"Internet Explorer Script Error"

"An error has occurred in the script on this page.

Line: 3177

Char: 2

Error: invalid syntax

Code: 0

URL: file:///C:/FireFoxCustom/Firefox.hta

Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?"

Send me the log and I'll look at it.

Update Posted v0.516

v0.516 - 1-19-09

-added reg settings to clean most common registry entries of previoulsy installed Firefox versions prior to installing Firefox and after uninstalling Firefox

-fixed issue with right-click\install of "True" addon not copying firefox.inf to %17%

-added additional Ayakawa Versions

-added French language translation

-began cleaning up logfile

-fixed issue with extensions when there are 2 versions of the same extension on the system, the older version would be installed

-resolved (not fixed) issue with Ayakawa version 3.1b3pre crashing. This version is not compatible with the Vanilla 3.0.5 language files. The language files from Vanilla 3.0.5 are causing the crash.

-fixed issue when downgrading from 3.0.x to 2.0.0.x would cause crash in pigfoot version

-no longer copying unnecessary components

NOTES:

Ayakawa's 3.1* still not working

If set as default, the shortcuts on desktop and quicklaunch will be created automatically

I have not added the Foxit Reader plugin.

That is all that I have time for right now. I hope that I have fixed all of the bugs.

[[Tool] FFaM v1.0.2.11]

Please assist me and look for bugs. When this update is complete, this may be the last for a month or 2.

I still have more to do, but this fixes quite a few of the known bugs.

Please post any bugs you find so that I can finish the update.

Firefox Addon Maker v 0.516

Known issues:

If setting as default and not creating shortcuts on desktop or quicklaunch, they are created by Firefox when setting as default.

Still need to add Foxit plugin.

Ayakawa 3.1pre* not working.

[[Tool] FFaM v1.0.2.11]

I am working on an update today. I hope to fix all errors that have been reported. Also, I am adding any translations that have been PM'd to me.

[[Tool] FFaM v1.0.2.11]

Thanks. I guess the "installation folder" option is for the silent installer then and doesn't affect the addon?

Vanilla firefox works but I couldn't get ayakawa's to work. I installed MS visual c++ 2008 sp1 redistributable package like you said in the first post and the windows script 5.7 installer said that it wasn't needed. After installation either using the addon or the silent installer, it would give me this error when I try to start firefox:

XML Parsing Error: undefined entity

Location: chrome://browser/content/browser.xul

Line Number 34, Column 1:

<window id="main-window"

^

Anybody else have this problem?

I had this problem with Ayakawa's version also. Even if I extracted it and tried to run it, I still received the error.

The installation folder works, no matter what installer you build.

[[Tool] FFaM v1.0.2.11]

For the Firefox installation folder, is it possible to have it install to the drive that the OS is installed on? Like suppose you installed windows on the D: drive, then it would install on that drive... Sorry if this sounds stupid. Thanks.

Firefox will be installed to the the drive the OS is installed to. I do not know of any way to make it install to a drive other the the OS drive, that will also work during an unattended install.

[[Tool] FFaM v1.0.2.11]

I'll try to put out an update this weekend. No promises. But, I'll try.

I am not sure when I will be able to update this tool. I am too busy with other things. I will make an effort next month to give it a little time.

I love you for this tool, jonny :thumbsup_anim:

Thank you

[[Tool] INF Assistant v0.23]

Jonnyboy nice work I was final able to test the new version and like the looks better. The removal of the program directory is now working I now have another problem do you know why the short cut and the add remove entry for the name of the program is showing %programname% program name being the the name of the program why the %

Thanks,

dolivas

I am not sure where you are seeing the %. So, did you edit the strings? %program_name%="Prog_Name"

[[Tool] INF Assistant v0.23]

well i think it wouldn't matter but it can be done as well

throw cmd like runpostsetupcommands

and make a section and added

"CMD /Q /C MD ""%16422%\%programDir%\%emptyFolder%""

it`s up to you

you choose the way you want :icon_cool:

your tool rocks :thumbsup_anim: in every version.

That is the other way of creating empty folders.

I am not sure the best way. This way you navigate to every empty folder that you need added. The other, every empty folder in the paths chosen, would be added.

Yet another choice would be have a pop-up ask if you want to add that empty folder.

[[Tool] INF Assistant v0.23]

i think you should consider as well making empty folders

I do not know how a generic inf can create an empty folder. It is of course possible to create empty folders and I will look at adding that.

***EDIT***

I think that the easiest way to get the empty folders created is while I am testing to see if the folder is empty. If the folder is empty, create an empty text file and add that to the folder, thus adding the folder.

Would it matter if there was an unreleated file in the folder? If so, I could also add file to DelFiles and run that after install and then the file would be removed. What do you think?

and you should also consider clear screen Button

after i end first addon and go to another i have to close the INF Assistant and run it again

I am sure that all temp files are deleted and that all variables are being reset at the end, so your screen should clear. The only thing that may fail is single file. Sometimes, it grabs a path and will not release it.

Edit: when i was trying Added Registry Section

i Found that it Makes [Prog.DelReg]

which will not be used if Uninstaller is not active

Good catch, I will fix this.

[REQ:- DAMN_NFO_Viewer_v2-10-0032-RC3 Addon?]

Hi Jonnyboy.

Thanx for the exellent work.

It's a great script and VERY useful.

Thank you

I have a favor to ask: can you make a tutorial how to write hta scripts?

That would be harder than it sounds.

First, an hta is a combination of html and either vbscript or javascript. So, you have to know how to use one of those scripting languages and html.

Second, if you have followed the progress of the INF Assistant and the Firefox Addon Maker, you can see that I am still learning both vbscript and html.

Third, I still need to write tutorials for both of the afore mentioned hta's.

Fourth, I haven't completed the afore mentioned hta's. There are still more features being added to both.

Aside from these, I thank you and maybe at a later date, I can try to write a tutorial on hta's.

[[Tool] INF Assistant v0.23]

Jonnyboy excellent work I have some questions I have been playing around with this and have it some what working I am trying to make a addon for my Restorator 2007 and have it working but it is not creating the menu in Start/All Programs/Restorator 2007 I was able to create a shortcut to the program in Start/All Programs/Administrator Tools and the second problem I am having is that when I uninstall the program thru Add/Remove it deletes the short cut but not the program and directory at C:\program files\Restorator 2007

Thanks for any help you can provide.

dolivas

Ok, first this "%win_comp%,8,47" will create a shortcut in "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools", if you want "Start/All Programs/Restorator 2007" your profileitems would look like

[ProfileItems Name.AddShortcut]
Name =%win_comp%,8,23
CmdLine =16422,%prog_dir%,%prog_exe%
WorkingDir =16422,%prog_dir%
SubDir=%prog_dir%

Second, I forget to add the code back in for deldirs and Delfiles. It will be in the update that I post today or tomorrow.

Thanks for the heads up.

[Where did the other skins go?]

I noticed yesterday or the day before that my default WinCert skin had been changed. I went into My Controls to change it back and the only skin available is "Simple Blue". I don't know the names of the other skins, but I am sure that their was at least one more.

So, my question is, where did the other skins go?

[[Tool] INF Assistant v0.23]

[[Tool] INF Assistant v0.23]

thanks Jonnyboy for update do you can continu via vbscript (previous version) no gui

I'm sorry but to be able to create the addon, it is not possible to create using batch files. If it is a language issue, I am willing to add your language to the script.
