I would like to create installers for modified builds of Mozilla and Firefox. No additional downloadable components will be required since I'm just adding svg support. I've been reading the instructions at:
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firefox/installer/build.html http://www.mozilla.org/projects/xpinstall/wizard/windows/ and surrounding docs
I can build by just adding the file gdiplus.dll to redist\microsoft\system, so to create the installer I think I just need to change one or more of the scripts, but I'm not sure which one(s) or what changes to make. Can anyone help me, or point me in the right direction?
GdiPlus.dll is a MS redistributable file, right? If so you'd want to add it to the following places:
http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/xpinstall/packager/windows/makexpi.pl#82 http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/xpinstall/packager/win_gre/makexpi.pl#82 http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/toolkit/mozapps/installer/makexpi.pl#69

That's great, thanks Dan! Yes gdiplus.dll is an MS dedistributable. I'll give that a go and hopefully it will work this time. :)
I have subsequently thought of another problem. The distributed version of that DLL should only be used by Mozilla when run on win2k and below since they don't have a version of gdiplus.dll. WinXP has a copy of this file and Mozilla should use it instead (apparently it will cause problems if it doesn't). Does the installer provide a way to detect the version of Windows and only install the file if it should be installed?
