Jonnyboy Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 well i will have a look and tell you first when i press JonnyBoy defaults and choose W7T it seems that it sets the Default Browser and Quick launchso when you pick the W7T you should force it to uncheck this and it says congratulation it's done but i can't find the file any where'Use Defaults' sets the items and W7T addon disables them. I left them so that if you changed your mind and wanted a silent installer, your settings are still intact. I will come up with another way of doing that. I'll look at the W7T ddon and find the problem.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnyboy Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 Exact name of the icon is "Mozilla Firefox". I don't know it is in every install or randomly. I haven't time to check it out.This icon is visible, but it doesn't exist, and disappeared when I restart system. Weird, isn't it? By the way I have Windows XP.One more thing. When I press 'set proxy', I got an error:'Set Proxy' is not complete and should have been disabled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grojan Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 'Set Proxy' is not complete and should have been disabled.I have tested a little-bit. No more problems with icons. It is problem with save settings. When I load settings, there are only few of them. All from right part of the table. No 'personal options', 'non-personal options', 'editable options', 'including plugins', additional software'and 'create shortcuts'. That's all for a moment.

It is probably a language issue.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonnyboy Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 Update Postedv0.704 - 11-16-09-fixed bug in W7T addon not being created-added script to properly reshack the beta Firefox versions-disabled 'Set Proxy' until completed-fixed bug that is evident when loading saved settings and you have unchecked 'Use Defaults' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither is perfect.And not that easy to implement. I use vbs scripts to create shortcuts, set default and create profiles. Not impossible, though.

Jonnyboy Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 As you all know, I have posted this project on Sourceforge. I did this for a few reasons. The first is for hosting. But, the main reason is to increase the awareness of it and increase it's use. Could I ask all of you to post your comments on sourceforge. It will increase the possibility of this project being listed when searching for firefox related projects. Right now, it does not show up at all and my ranking is around 3850.As I learn more about sourceforge, I will add content.Thanks for your feedback and your support.~Jonnyboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonnyboy Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 (edited) I can not pick on it at any point. Cheers!The only things clickable in beginning is "Use Local System", "Update Links" and if you have a saved settings.ini file then "Load Settings". Everything else is disabled.As soon as I finish the "Set Proxy" and and the runonce entries for W7T addons, then I will begin a video tuturiol. I will also be adding more contextual help. I explain things that sound right to me, this is often hard for someone else to understand, so a little help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Jonnyboy Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 If you feel like editing the firefoxaddonmaker.htaDo this:Line #2582If Left(iVersion,3) > 3.5 Thenchange to:If Left(iVersion,3) > "3.5" Thenthen let me know if that corrects the proble.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnyboy Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 (edited) Ok, I finished adding proxy support and I have been wrestling with how to complete the W7T addon. I have a few ideas and would like some feedback from anyone the uses W7T addons.First, I can use a reg file to insert the reg entries created when Firefox is normally installed. This limits the installation location and I would prefer not to do it this way. For the same reason that I removed the inf addon. To much maintenance with each version. This would be completely uninstallable.Second, the W7T addon could just put the files in a temporay location and then use a reg file to install and create the proper shortcuts. But, doing it this way is no different than using the silent installer. This would be completely uninstallable.Third, Firefox would not be properly installed. The reg entries that are created when Firefox is installed would not be entered into the registry. The reg entries that are created to set Firefox as the default browser would be the only reg entries entered into the registry. This would not be uninstallable.All of these still require the installer to get the correct path %ProgramFiles% or %ProgramFiles(x86)%. I am leaning towards the second option. This lets setup.exe do most of the registry work and -setDefaultBrowser do the rest. That way the reg settings are always correct and then the installation path is not restricted. I hesitate only because this would be identical to the silent installer, except that it would require a reboot.Is it not possible to integrate silent installers into Windows 7?Anyway, those that use Windows 7 can tell me how they want the W7T addon to behave and I'll finish writing the script.Thanks Edited November 19, 2009 by Jonnyboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
