Hi,
I found the solution, thanks for the help. I delete the "xpti.dat" and
"compreg.dat" in my install.js file. Here's my code:
//-------------------------------------------------------------------
var componentsFolder = getFolder("Components");
logComment("componentsFolder = " + componentsFolder);
var myFolder = getFolder("Current User");
logComment("myFolder = " + myFolder);
{
// add the DLL and say where it'll go
addFile("dymo.dll", "1.0", "dymo.dll", componentsFolder, "");
logComment("addFile() dymoxpcom.dll: " + err);
// add the typelib also
addFile("IDymo.xpt", "1.0", "IDymo.xpt", componentsFolder, "");
logComment("addFile() dymoxpcom.xpi: " + err);
// delete xpti.dat and compreg.dat
var f = getFolder(myFolder, "xpti.dat");
err = File.remove(f);
logComment("remove(): xpti.dat" + err);
f = getFolder(myFolder, "compreg.dat");
err = File.remove(f);
logComment("remove(): compreg.dat" + err);
// perform the installation if there are no errors
if (err == SUCCESS)
{
err = performInstall();
logComment("PerformInstall(): " + err);
err = refreshPlugins();
logComment("refreshPlugins(): " + err);
alert("The DYMO Components will be available after restarting the Firefox
browser!");
}
else
cancelInstall(err);
}
