I am preparing a silent deployment of the latest version of FF to a estate of XP Sp3 desktops via Altiris. I need to ensure that the installation does not create desktop shortcuts.

I use a vbscript instalation wrapper to call the installation and log events, so I need a command line argument to prevent the desktop shortcut installation. Can you help please?

Unpack the installer with an archiver (like WinRAR). Create file anyname.ini with the content:

[Install]

DesktopShortcut=false

The command you need to run is

setup.exe /INI=anyname.ini

See this for more options.
