    yeah it a great job

    but i remember i found a bug

    >< but i forget to say about it

    as i remember it was when i active copy files

    it does all the work and make the work and make the addon

    but i found that it names the files wrong

    as in the inf the extension of the files are *.tem

    and in the cab they have the extension *.tmp

    plz fix this one

    and sorry for late report

    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.

    Maybe its' just me? When I install Firefox it modifies my default UserName by adding ."ComputerName" to the end of it. My user name happens to be Administrator, so I end up with %UserProfile% taking me to %53%\Administrator.ComputerName\. But Firefox is installed in %53%\Administrator\.?

    I noticed in the inf it remembers the user name from the computer the addon was created from. Shouldn't this be a username variable? like 53 which is Root\Documents and Settings\UserName.

    Also, Even though I install all updates and restart firefox and the computer before making the addon, during installation it says 3 new addons have been installed and they are incompatible with firefox 3.0.4. The updates were installed prior to addon creation. Also the edit rdf files was checked and every other addon is set to 3.0.*.

    Any suggestions?

    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.

    I've just tried V0.515 and noticed some very little "bugs" : even not selecting Quick launch and Desktop icons, they are created.
    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

    As said in PM on MSFN, I will translate strings in French as soon as they'll be available.
    It has been posted in the first post. Once you translated each line, please PM them to me. Please keep each line separate.
    About the Start Menu shortcut : wouldn't it be better to have an input box to enter a custom folder instead of selection boxes ?
    I will add a text box to set the folder.

    Hi

    I've just tried V0.515 and noticed some very little "bugs" : even not selecting Quick launch and Desktop icons, they are created.

    No more errors when closing temporary files.

    As said in PM on MSFN, I will translate strings in French as soon as they'll be available.

    About the Start Menu shortcut : wouldn't it be better to have an input box to enter a custom folder instead of selection boxes ?

    Again, thanks for this great app (even if I don't use it because ot the installation path not correponding to my needs).

    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.

    [KillProcess]

    TASKKILL /F /IM %win_comp%.exe

    TSKILL %win_comp%

    %win_comp% is set to the exe file but when i used the string i named it to the program name

    no problem, i can change that.

    the destination dir

    you need to make it asks for the program dir i guess

    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

    well hmm

    i set my firefox to default

    another question

    when it get installed silently by your addon or by original installer

    does this [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox] gets installed before running the program or not ?

    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.

    just for asking

    i was working on some inf working that requires firefox

    but since firefox place changes i tried to look for a registry to describe it`s place

    but i found out that the registry from your addon is only uninstall registry so i got a question

    does the official installer add the same registry or it`s changed in your addon

    Edit:

    hmm i installed the original version and the registry was "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Mozilla Firefox (3.0.4)" not as your addon "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\FireFox"

    so another question doesn't firefox installs any registry that might guide me to the right place?

    [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.

    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.

    I still have some question here:-

    I did all what was needed, but when I try to install using the Adoon, it installs all fils on the desktop instead of "/program files"( I chose desktop for Addon installation path- thought this would be the destination of my Addon)

    can you explain how I can get this correct?

    Thank you

    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.

    The finished addon/installer can be found here before quitting the addon maker closed. When you quit addon maker, that folder will be deleted.

    Addon maker works perfect on a turkish windows vista sp1 system, all my options works ;)

    Thanks for this cool addon maker. :thumbsup_anim:

    Thanks, glad to hear it.

    Hi, I'm having a strange issue.... Which option exactly specifies where the silent installer is actually created because i can't even find it lol i tried the desktop but that didn't work...

    Have to say that this addon has saved my butt quite a few times. Thanks for your work!

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

    I've tested the new one and it doesn't work.

    " It is error o the site

    line: 1821

    sign:3

    error: could not find path

    code:0

    URL:.../firefox.hta

    do you want to start script on this site?"

    version 0.501 works correct

    this wasn't directed at you and I do not know why it is not working for you. But, I will look at it.
