Having problems finding references to this.

The settings used by previous firefox to install silently are not working in the same way. In particular, the desktop shortcut is being installed where it wasn't previously. Also the 32 bit does appear to run silent at all (64 does??).

We used to install firefox using the command:

installfilename.exe -ms /INI=c:\somedir\config.ini

And config.ini would contain:

[Install] 

QuickLaunchShortcut=false
DesktopShortcut=false
StartMenuShortcuts=false

(For reference, we provide shortcuts in a different manner).

What should we be using now? Is there a reference somewhere?

Thanks.

Hmmmn, oops?

I was using the "regular download" which appears to work differently from the "redistributables" located here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/all/

Still testing, but looks like these one will do the job. Can someone confirm the two installers do work differently?

However, the 32bit version seems to still put in a taskbar icon, when the 64bit version does not???

Another edit: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Installer:Command_Line_Arguments TaskbarShortcut=false seems new and seems to work for 32bit. Not needed for 64bit?

meh, I think I'm there now.
