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.

version 0.22 posted Changelog 12-2-08 - v0.22 -fixed bug where AddReg=prog.addreg and [Prog.AddReg] would not display if not adding registry entries

I do not know how to add proxy support. Sorry

version 0.21 posted many enhancements, see the changelog for all of the changes

found and fixed - as soon as i get Vista support working, I will post the update. Thanks ***EDIT*** I need a little help with using vbscript and InternetExplorer.Application. If you can assist me, I would appreciate it. This is the only way to browse to a file in Vista and XP. There are other ways, but it requires you registering a dll prior to running the script and I do not want to do that. ***EDIT*** Well, for now I will register the dll and then unregister the dll. Unless, I can find a better way of doing it.

I am adding DIRID's for 16422, 16410, 16412, 16419, 10 and 11. The script will be able to parse the path and substitute the DIRID's properly. If there are other DIRID's that you would like added, please let me know. If I can add them , I will.

Today, I start my vacation. I will be gone for 2 weeks. Please continue to post any bugs and\or requests and I'll will catch up as soon as I return. I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving. Thanks ~Jonnyboy

I am not aware of your computername being any place in the inf. I would need to see this. Send me the logs. Let me explain how the the profile creation process works. This script does not create the profile. It is created by firefox.exe, in the manner provided by Firefox. First, if you want your profile created in the default location, with a randomly generated profile name, then leave leave both areas blank. Second, if you want to name your profile and keep it in the default location, then provide only the name, not the path. Third, if you want to name your profile and the path the complete both fields. Remember, it is not a good idea to create a profile in an %APPDATA% path, because, unless that username already exists when you install Firefox, then Firefox will create that path. The problem is, that when you create that user, the path will not be as expected, because the expected path already exists. So, the user will be a assigned another path., thus making the profile that you installed, useless. The inf only uses the username, if you assigned that path that includes a username. Remember, the addon maker creates addon's of your current installatin. To be used on your next install. It will install the profile where you tell it too, just as if you run the command yourself. I can look at using a variable for the username, if you still intend to use it. I may add script to disallow certain paths. Since, using a path that already exists will cause the profile creation to fail. ***EDIT*** Also, the %APPDATA% paths, I think, are different for languages other than English. So, to script that, for every possibility could prove very difficult. But, not impossible. It is just something that I do not have the time to look at right now. As far as the rest of the problems, I need the logs and the extension names. Also, the install.rdf files from those extensions.

The problem is somewhere is language. I will spend a little time and find it.***EDIT*** Looking at the inf, the only profileitems in the inf are Start Menu\Programs\Internet. They may be created by firefox.exe when running setdefaultbrowser. I will look into it. ***EDIT*** There are being created when setting firefox as default browser. I will add some script to delete those if they were not selected. I don't know if it will make it into the next version or not. Thanks It has been posted in the first post. Once you translated each line, please PM them to me. Please keep each line separate. I will add a text box to set the folder.

Send me the logs, so I can see why the are being created. I may add an input box for path. Thanks

Ok, I have finally figured how to turn the text into variable strings and display the strings according to country code. It will take a little time to rewrite the hta and convert all of the text to strings. But, as soon as I am done. I will post the list of strings that need to be translated. Once translated, I will add them into the script.

no problem, i can change that. The program asks for you to add a folder or a file to include in the addon, not program dir or destination dir. They will be placed exactly where there were found. In the future, I may be able to change the destination folder. This is so you can add multiple folder and\or files. There is no limit to the number of folders or files that can be added. You do not need to add subfolders, they will be included. For example, the program is installed in %programfiles%, but also creates a user settings folder in %appdata% and adds a file to system32. Just add the 2 folders and then the file and the inf is created. Then, edit the String Variables. Then, create addon and your done. Thanks for the feedback

Version 0.2 posted -complete rewrite using hta as front-end -looking for feedback

Firefox's Installer inserts that when it installs the program. I do not insert any longer. I thought that when Firefox is set as default, it would add that registry entry. I just checked, it does not. I may add those registry entries back in. ***EDIT*** If anyone finds them necessary, I will.

I forgot to tell this to anyone. Sorry. -CreateProfile "profile_name profile_dir" <-- This is the command used to create the profile, if you choose a name or a path NOTE: profile_dir must not exist and you must not already have a profile called profile_name. Also, the folder path, that you choose, can NOT be the default location.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox] That is the location that, prior to v0.50, I inserted the the path to. I no longer set Firefox as default by inserting the registry entries. I only add the uninstaller entries and when Firefox is set as default, firefox.exe will insert the entries into the registry. Hope that helps.

Thanks N1K

I realize that some of the problems with understanding how to use this script is the language barrier. I am working on a way to, when you select a language, re-write the entire interface into the proper language. As soon as I get it right, I will begin asking for help your help in translating. Of course, If I can find a way to get the script to determine the language, that would be even better. ***EDIT*** I have found how to determine the language of your installed OS ***EDIT*** Html is new to me, but what I need to be able to do is every text string that is displayed needs to be converted to a variable. Some of the strings can be changed easily, some i do not know how to do. If you have the skills with html and have to time to give me some assistance, I would appreciate it.

The addon destination paths are the installation path, where do you want to install firefox too? Where do you want to install the profile? What name would you like to give the profile? I hope this helps. I will look and see if more explanation could be put their.

You can ignore the error and continue. Be sure to save your settings.

If anyone is around and has a few minutes. PM me. Thanks

Thanks, glad to hear it.

I apologize, I thought that the installer was being created in the current folder. This will be corrected in the next update.

Thanks Glad to hear it is working for you. There seams to be a bug in that is affecting only a few people. Looking into it now. ***EDIT*** There is a major bug in the create profile process. I am working on it now and hope to post an update this evening.
