Hi Sean, thanks for all the information you've provided. This is beginning
to sound like the route I would want to take once the download agent is
available. Thanks.

You can do that right now with xpinstall. However, the core engine of it
requires xpcom which takes about 3.6 MB total (including xpinstall). It's
not quite slim at the moment. The initial installer size will be about
~200k or less ( hopefully), but the actual engine, which gets downloaded
along with the .xpi files is a 3.6MB file. If that's not a problem for you,
then it can be done.
The other problem is that there isn't a downlaod lib for the mozilla
installer yet. Only the Netscape 6 installer build has it. Mozilla will be
getting one within a week or so (maybe less). Netscape 6 installer will be
using that lib too.

Ok. I was hoping to be able to build add-on applications packaged as XPI
toadd to mozilla. Would it be possible to package an application that uses
thesame distribution method Netscape6 uses? Download a stub and select what
youwant installed, hit ok and the stub/engine will download whatever files
areneeded from the website and install it. Thanks.Daniel"Sean Su"

The xpinstall source is not a seperate source code from the mozillacode. It
can't be build independently from mozilla, thus if you want tobuild
xpinstall, you will need to build mozilla.The xpinstall source (and the
native installers - the wizards) can befound
here:http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/xpinstallhope this helps.Daniel

Hi,I don't know if this question has been asked before, so I apologize
inadvanced.I know XPinstall is opensource, but I can't seem to find the
source for
the
installer without downloading the entire mozilla source package. I have
a
really slow connection so down loading the entire mozilla source
packagetakes too long. Can someone tell me where I can get the source for
theXPinstaller for Win32? Thanks.Daniel Chee
