Windows Firefox 29 silent installation

I've been scouring the internet for a while looking for a way to do a silent install of Firefox via command line. As I just discovered, the - ms and the/ini methods only work in many older versions of Firefox.

When I try install the silencer - ms, the first half of the install works fine, until it gets to the second half. As it appears, the second half asks first of all the admin password (which is didn't need), then it proceeds to the second half very visible installation (another click to download and install Firefox and other useless to ask the admin password).

What I think happens is that the first Setup is actually just to install another Installer (in the appdata/temp folder) and then open this installer and remove it when it's done. This second installation program does not support the command - ms operating on its own.

Anyone got any ideas?

Found the answer.

I went and that reported on bugzilla, and after talking more with someone, it has been revealed that he has no intention to include silent install for the installer General "stub" based. But the silent install does it work if you use the full Installer (which does not use the double installation found in the general installation program and can be downloaded here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ )

The full installer does regular support - ms silent installation. To get rid of the requests for authorization of the admin, just run it high (aka: run as administrator).

After this conversation, the mozilla wiki has been updated accordingly: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Installer:Command_Line_Arguments

  • Windows Firefox will not close.

    Hello
    I am running windows 8.1 and Firefox 38.0.1. whenever I click on the Red 'x' to close Firefox, Firefox will not close. If I want to close all tabs, Firefox does not close the last tab. If I try to merge windows (by dragging the tab of a window in a different window) Firefox will create a blank tab on the window where I dragged the dragged tab. So far, the only way to close the Fire Fox is click on the close button or to stop by the Task Manager. When I re - open Firefox Windows and previous tabs are also there, and I'm still not able to close them. I restarted my PC and reinstalled Firefox (uninstalled and re-download). However, after downloading Firefox... the same windows will be opened, with the same tabs! It's horrible!

    Hello cach_dies,

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • Click the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

  • Silent installation for the support of the shortcut key?

    It is really a last resort for me to post here. I looked everywhere else I can.

    Can someone tell me please how to install the latest version of the assistance of hotkey HP softpaq silently and without a restart?

    • The laptop I have is a Probook 6570 b
    • The OS is Windows 7 Pro x 86
    • The softpaq is: SP59202 (version 4.6.10.1)

    Previous versions of this permit for a silent installation, no reboot, but the last is different.

    I can get it to install by extracting the Setup.exe from the SP59202 executable and it works with the switches: s/v/qn/s but it still restarts the computer at the end.

    It MUST be possible. Help, please.

    Andy.

    AndyChips,

    Perhaps too late, but here's what works for me. Run the 'setup.exe' on any machine to decompress. No need to complete the installation, simply start it. Once you start manual installation it will unpack everything into something like C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\{2A7766D0...}. Download the entire folder in MDT. Also, I tried all sorts of variations/q /quiet/ - s, etc., but it never worked for me. Once I tried:

    msiexec /i "HP Hotkey Support.msi" /qn /norestart

    Andi that it worked. The package I've used is sp59346. Could also help you! ;-)

  • Again - the EULA allows to keep Windows XP after the installation and activation of a retail upgrade to Windows 7

    The EULA allows to keep Windows XP after installation and activation of a retail upgrade to Windows 7?
    I understand that the EULA (EULA) prohibits the USE of the operating system upgraded - must also be removed from the system?

    I intend to upgrade a pre-installed Windows Media Center 2006 on a Gateway computer to a level of detail to Windows 7 Pro 64 - bit.  I am adding a new hard drive, as this case nears end of life... and plan to install the operating system upgraded to the new HD - because I have XP 32 bit to Win7-64 bit... and a "custom" installation is necessary, anyway.

    This will result in an operating system XP on the old hard drive and the new OS Win7 Pro 64 - bit on the new drive.  There have been suggestions that the answer to this question is simply to remove the "old" operating system, after activating the 'new' Windows 7.  However - I see that any installation (or REINSTALLATION) of the operating system upgraded to Win 7 requires the previous XP to be "present on the computer.

    QUESTION: as long as I don't 'USE' the BONE replaced/implemented to date, I am in compliance with the EULA?  Alternatively, do I install "over" this Windows Media Player OS - on the old, due to lack of hard drive?

    The Media Center EULA States: «...» "15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After you upgrade, you can no longer use the software upgrade of. ... ', but is silent (as far as I can find by reading the EULA on the question of if software upgrade HAVE to be 'destroyed'.)

    (See: http://download.microsoft.com/Documents/UseTerms/Windows%207_Professional_English_7bb89e9f-20ea-4555-892f-394539ec1090.pdf "")

    Thanks for your review (a reference to the appropriate Microsoft documentation would be nice too)
    John

    You said above, «...» "You will be able to upgrade to Windows XP, it is a qualification license... »

    And I assume you are talking about my software Windows XP Media Center Edition (currently installed), as being a "qualification licence".

    That is right.

    Are we in agreement that a copy preinstalled OEM of Windows XP Media Center Edition IS extendable with a 'detail' update the license for Windows 7?

    His qualification, but you can't make a real room upgrade, you can do a custom installation. See the previous post on how to migrate from Windows XP to Windows 7. An upgrade maintains the personal files, settings and installed applications.

    I understand the ban on using the OEM OS software OR the upgrade replacement software on one computer other than the one on which it was originally installed by the OEM.

    I also understand that I cannot use the "improved" XP Media Center software, once the upgrade of Windows 7 has occurred.

    The rest to determine if it NEEDS to be deleted or replaced... you have no guidance on this issue?

    Well, when you perform a custom installation, in essence, it is deleted or replaced. Then, it is part of the upgrade license. It's like it becomes a mind is more tangible, but always there as a base to which the upgrade license may exist on your system.

  • Install an application without silent installation

    Hello

    I'm looking to build a virtual appliance with applications components that don't have a silent installation and cannot be invoked as part of the VM Studio script create profile. How to install these components and include them in the virtual machine image?

    As construction progresses for the base OS (Windows 2008 Server), I see that the passenger VM on the ESX host and go to the transitional VM console, I can see the instance of Windows Installer. Is there a way to complete the installation and having the VM console transitional wait for me finish the rest of the components of the application and then trigger an exit from the VM to the Studio of the virtual machine can finish the rest of his work?

    Thank you.

    I believe you can exec a program like Notepad (or something similar) in the post installation script request, this will result in the script in expectation of the end of the notepad process. Now you can install your application and when you're done, exit Notepad and the build must fill.

  • Silent installation of WLS 1.0.3.5.0 and BEA_BUNDLED_JVMS?

There is a BEA_BUNDLED_JVMS parameter and if I put jdk160_24 there, the installation does not install any JDK and leaves commEnv.cmd without JAVA_HOME.

    If you install 11.1.41.6 on a 64 bit system (for example, Windows7 x 64) then this is a known issue in the 64-bit Installer. He places the key in the wrong place. If you are a customer, connect to My Oracle Support and pick up the patch 12870019 to install and repair.

  • Silent installation of functional content (first and still)

    Can someone tell me how to perform a silent installation of the functional content on Windows after you deploy with JEAN on Windows 7?

    Setup.exe +?

    Hello

    Method to deploy the business content is the same as the deployment of the main products. You must create a new package for each functional content using JEAN (the folder that contains the functional content has a setup.exe inside). And then, you can silently deploy the MSI resulting using tools such as SCCM. Or you can deploy the msi to the client machines with command line

    msiexec /i /qn.

    Please let us know if you find any problems.

    Thank you

  • response file is not created for silent installation

    Trying to create a response to a silent installation file. From page 15 of the Installation and the Administration of PDF:

    Example: ' < location of the Setup file > \setup.exe "/ r /f1" < location of the answer "
    "file > \setup.iss.

    Fact that, but no setup.iss after running through the installation. Did a search on the C drive too, but found nothing.

    It is for the Developer Version 3.5.1 esp2 PUK.

    Our environment is Windows XP Service Pack 2.

    Anyone know why the answer file is not created as the directions indicate? Thank you.

    Hi Jason,

    I might have an idea on why it does not work.

    When you run setup.exe you see a menu option which indicates that following:

    Read me (see the Upgrade Guide)
    Read me (see the Setup Guide and Administration
    Installation (installation of the Oracle User Productivity Kit 3.5.1...)

    If so, you need to get out of this configuration. Then in the source (CD-ROM or the location of the installation), browse to the UPKTool folder, there you will see a file named setup.exe, it is the executable that is launched when you click on the button install.

    In any case, to create a response file, you will need to run this setup.exe, so when you run at a command prompt, you should have something like this:

    / F1/r 'D:\UPKTool\Setup.exe' "C:\\setup.iss"

    I mentioned the C drive instead of drive D because I assume that D is a CD-ROM drive otherwise you can place it on any place.

    I hope this helps.

    Kind regards

  • Boot Camp supports only Windows 7 or later installation on that platform. Please use a file ISO of Windows 7 or later installation.

    Hello

    I tried to fix this for hours, I hope someone can help me.

    I downloaded the ISO "Win10_1607_English_x64.iso" (4.29 GB) file and with him came a "info.plist" (2 KB), so they are both on my 64 GB USB Drive (format: MS-DOS (FAT32)) called 'WINSTALL '.

    I have the ISO on the USB key, and it is selected as the ISO image in Boot Camp. I also have the USB the disk of destination selected, and yet I get this error:

    Your bootable USB key could not be created

    Boot Camp supports only Windows 7 or later installation on that platform. Please use a file ISO of Windows 7 or later installation.

    I'm currently under OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.6 on my iMac (21.5 inch, end 2012) that is compatible with Windows 10.

    If anyone can help me I honestly love so much, I tried contacting Apple Support staff by phone, they said that they can't do anything, I tried to contact their Live Chat, but none of this has helped to solve the problem, and I tried to look online, but can't find too much.

    Thanks in advance for any answer!

    What OSX Version do you have? This site gives the requirements of Bootcamp: minimum system requirements to install Windows on your Mac with Boot Camp - Apple Support. And you did an upgrade? Could it be that the upgrade will not correctly for the OS?

    Looking at the 10 Windows version you downloaded, is the update of birthday, which was released less than a month ago. It could be that Apple is not reconisgin the Windows version when reading the disk, because it is too recent. I don't know if you have access to the download of the previous generation and do a Windows update?
