Hey!
in Introduction
LOL... Hello to you too mate...you're lurking for some time here...guess you like this place.
It grows on you.
-
I tried creating both FF 2 SSE2 opt builds and each time it created this Firefox_{ayakawa}_3.0.2pre_Silent.exe
and I chose v2 each time and got 3.0 ?
the wbat.com does not work properly on every system. That is the program being used in v0.45x that creates the menu system. It's behavior is at the least, weird. I'm updating an older script and discontinuing the use of wbat.com.
-
On my Vistas it say: Cannot execute ....wbat.com. Why .com? This is old and not supported after Win98. Therefore i dont have control over addon creating. Unfortunately :-(
It works on my Vista machine - no problems. I am trying to move this VB.
I'll have the update to v0.43 as promised by tomorrow. It will not have the wbat.com in it, nor will it have runhiddenconsole. There won't be the options available as in v0.44-0.45. There will be no further updates to 0.45.
I began working on VB version last night. It's going to take some time to learn to and write the program.
-
Here you go.
What version of firefox are you using?
-
0.452 is the test script, isn't it? Already tried it.
posted new version a couple hours ago. here It's just a test script.
I have already begin writing new version in VB
-
0.442 and 0.43 versions work fine but i still get "wbat.com error" with 0.451 and 0.452
Try the test script in a post a couple of link s up.
-
happy to test... send it over! Look up a few posts
Use this one instead TEST
****EDIT****
New test script, please test. Thank you
-
First of all thanks for your effort and patience for assisting me. I was too tired last night so I tested your script this morning...
Here is the first screen shot. I also decide to proceed with steps. Manual navigate to ff.exe then choosing prefs.js file I get error saying: This is not PE file. It all ended just after that.
Did you make typo mistake pref.js instead prefs.js ,maybe you also make typo in your script. I did not check? This is just my observation..not sure maybe it could point you to right direction so I'm letting you know The first screenshot is the error that happens when vbscript doesn't properly download the index page. I was just testing to see how well vbscript could do that instead of wget. But, I can't find a way to validate the download with vbscript. I was going to replace that section with wget, wget can validate and continue until it completes.
The second screenshot was a typo.
At that point the script ended. All that should be there is a log folder with 2 files. One that shows all the variables cleared and the next that shows them set. Send them both to me, please.
But, the point of this test is to see if the script worked on your system. And it did!
***EDIT***
If any other users would like to test the script, I would appreciate it. If this works for folks, the I won't need to rewrite using C++. I really don't look forward to rewriting the part that creates the inf. That was difficult to say the least.
-
I already tried and I got message that mine i never....bla bla
I have a small script that I would like you to test and see if works.. I'll post the link as soon as I get home. 30 min or so.
Try this, it doesn't do to much. But, if it works for you, then the script should work. I started working on this before my previous posts about starting over with VC++.
-
actually I did not have any since I started making my mozila addon using your script,and then ONLY problem popped up? I can't make your script work! :crying_anim02: Instead of that I find out that it works fine on clean and fresh XP running on virtual machine.
Ah!!
Use the link in the first post and install wsh 5.7
-
Actually I did not have any problems with 0.451 on virtual machine (created silent installer addon in Virtual box) but I can't do same thing on live system,I already mention my problems. But I would still like to save my data,cookies,settings,bookmarks,etc and I'm searching for alternative cause I don't won to do that manualy by transfering everyeach of them in virtual environment and make addon form there
What problems are you having with your computer?
-
I really think the only issue with your vbs/bat scripts is in the way it handles the variables and checks/clears previously set variables... I wish I knew just a little more than I do about .bat scripting... I would be happy to help you sort it out... but trying to figure out exactly how all the different scripts interact with each other is a little tough when I didn't write any of them... hehe... but I've been diggin' and doing some testing... and will do some more when I get some more free time... seriously though thanks for all the work you have put into this addon I truly believe it is one of the most useful there is, hands down!
I can't find the errors with your build if you don't send me the logs.
Actually, send me the logs, the inf and uncab the cab file and send me the dir list.
-
Jonnyboy I must inform you. I tested latest installer v0.451 on clean xp sytem using virtual box with latest updates for xp,but I did not have mozila installed on that particular system so I can't check if bookmarks,themes,settings,etc went fine,however I manage to make clean silent installer that works fine. But I can't recognize how much is my OS messed up at the moment since I have this issue.
Anyway regarding your babbling,don't worry you did huge job with this one ever since you start and I'm shure others would agree with me,so don't you quit on me now
,take your time and result will be much positive. Good luck and thanks!
Thanks, I did go way to fast, not enough testing. I will do better in the futer.
What problems are you having with 0.451?
-
It is apparent that the new version using wbat and vbscript is causing too much trouble for too many people. I will make edits to v0.442 to get current file info from my ftp. After I have completed that update, I am going to attempt to write this in VC++ or VB. I have never used either, so it will be interesting.
I posted the first script to share. I never expected to spend so much energy on this.
But, because I am a perfectionist, I have attempted to add any necessity that has been asked for into this script. Batch file programming, alone can not do everything that is needed to make this script compatible for anyone using Windows XP or Vista. My goal was and is that this script be available to anyone running WinXP, Vista or Server and eventually include x64.
Do not misunderstand, I continue to make changes and improvements as I learn how to make them. I started with a very rudimentary knowledge of batch files. There is still alot that I do not know and can not do. I have enjoyed the process and continue.
I say this in thanks to you. If I had not posted that first script I would not have gained the knowledge to complete the last one. I am a typical procrastinator.
Anyway, forgive my babbling. After the next update, the next update will be awile while I learn how to do it as an exe.

You where right.
Now I regret that I erased older working version...cause I need it.
If that screenshot is from your system, then you have wsh installed.
here is the link to v0.442, this is the last version before vbscript.
Let me know if you have any problems with this version.
Thanks

is there anything else you can think of I could try to get it to accept my choices? I have WSH installed, or it wouldn't be building an addon at all apparantly...
If you could pm me your logs I can try to see where the fault is.
not sure if it even matters that the directory you have "hardcoded" even matters to the outcome... but it was one more thing I can point out that I noticed... so if it does not matter than please disregard... I'm still sifting...Right now, there is only a few items being pulled from the firefox directory, namely dictionaries, plugins, search plugins and the themes are located in the extensions folder. Almost everything is located in the profiles folder.
The script cannot even get the correct language and it defaults to en-US if firefox is not located in the default location.

Hey!
in Introduction
Hey are you Acheron?no, just Jonnyboy

Nothing happen,I run it normally chose vanila, and foloved all steps (I did not require reg edit) and try to make switchless addon and it all went "fine" in 2-3 seconds with that d8mn end message. Imposible! FF can't be downloaded and finished that fast. No logs,nothing.
I tried v0.451 and same thing except I have this screen on first start.
It looks like wsh is not available on your system. Type cscript at the command prompt and if you get usage instructions then that is not the problem. Otherwise, unless you install wsh, available here, this script will not work for you. It may also be, that you wsh limited to running only signed scripts.
I appreciate your feedback.
I'm going to add a check at the start to check for the presence of wsh. Well, I'm running into problems on how to test for to test for it.

Can someone make this icon into one that has a page in the background? Like the default html icon.
Any help is appreciated.
***EDIT***
Never mind, I figured it out. It will be in the next version. Thanks again eryen.

Hey!
in Introduction
I been lurking around for awhile and finally read this topic and thought I'd say hello!
HELLO!
-
Version 0.451 is posted and it corrects the language issue. I also moved the log files so they will not be overwritten by subsequent runs of the script. I added back in logging for wget so I can see what files are being download with each run. I added script to get the profile path if you have it in a default location.
****EDIT****
If you get any errors, please pm me your logs so that I find the errors and fix them. Thank you

@benjammin
I was just explaining how that portion of the script works.

.45
the previous version didn't have the "edit registry file" option I don't think... I don't remember it anyways... but for sure I am using .45 and got these "errors" although they aren't really errors because it builds an addon just fine... just not the one I requested it to build... the strange party is... it is downloading BOTH vanilla firefox install and ayakawa pre... i would think if it was going to build ayakawa addon it would only download THAT file... am I wrong? maybe the issue is that when you have a "default" choice selected... somehow that "variable" doesn't get cleared even though the user chooses something other than "default" choice (ie: ayakawa) it still thinks it should build a "default" package due to variable not being cleared properly when user choice is made??? I have no idea... I'm just taking a wild stab!
If you are building an optimized version, the script uses that localized files from the vanilla, thus getting the proper language files.
As far as the variables go, I have purposefully cleared each one at the beginning of the script. The problem in the previous versions was that if you ran the script more than once, the variables would remain set.
I have tested many times since making these changes and implementing them in 0.45, I no longer get the errors associated with any 0.44x version.
But, I continue to test.

Hi Jonny, how I can make an addon with other language? Spanish more specific.
Thanks in advanced.
as soon as post v0.451, it will automatically do that - if your current firefox is in spanish
I'm waiting on a couple things before I post the update.
thanks
Look up a few posts
Did you make typo mistake pref.js instead pref
,take your time and result will be much positive. 
Using Multiple .cab files
in INF Discussion
Posted · Edited by Jonnyboy
The SourceDiskNames directive tells the system where each file is located based on the diskid......
What that means is that you can put your files just about anywhere so long as the inf can properly point to it in the SourceDiskNames section.
Read through this page and get a better understanding.
