Done that but I don't remember all the details here is what I do remeber 0. Look at http://www.mozilla.org/projects/xpinstall/win_xpi.html
1. The windows specific install code is located at the mozilla\xpinstall\wizard\windows directory. I scanned the code in order to understand exactly how it works. 2. Modify the resource file mozilla\xpinstall\wizard\windows\setup\setup.res for version information and icon (if you need it) 3. mozilla\xpinstall\wizard\windows\setuprsc\setup.res contains bitmaps and dialogs which are used in the installer. You will need to modify it for the dialog which asks whether to install a desktop icon. 4. Edit the mozilla\xpinstall\packager\build\win\mozilla\config.it file. It is built like a windows INI file, with definitions per each component being installed. 5. If you add a new component, you should place an installation script at the mozilla\xpinstall\packager\build\win\mozilla directory with the name component.JST. This file is probably identical to the installation file in the stand alone XPI. This is what I remeber, and probly I missed some things. The difficulty of doing it depends on your knowledge in how to write dialogs for windows, perl, C and XPI install stripts. If you have the basic knowledge is not very difficult, it is JUST complicated. Mark.
