Hello
Well, setup.exe is also Windows only. You still have different install commands
for Windows, MacOS and Linux. I cannot see any reason why msi package and CCK2
couldn't work together. It is just about authoring the msi and providing a
clever way to define the customizations and settings.
I agree that the setup.exe is a much better way of deploying than a MSI-wrapped
.exe but it is not industry standard to deploy in this way to large
environments.
Looking forward with modern deployment it will be MSI or APPX in the frontline
to deploy applications on Windows 10, not .exe files.
Yes, let's not forget that MSI is Windows only. With CCK2, we can use the same
config files on different OS. We deploy a lot of applications with SCCM, and
in my opinion, the MSI-based ones aren't any better or easier.

Personally, I like the current setup once I got Puppet going. The reason
is consistent configuration for Windows, Linux and Mac. I wouldn't want
to do 2 or more attempts to apply the same configuration across the
platforms, at that point, I lose a lot of benefit from Firefox.

If finally Mozilla would release an official Firefox MSI package, it
would be good to follow previous comments on the real goals of an MSI
package.
* deploy Firefox through GPO for medium to big structures
* manage Firefox system preferences (default proxy, extensions,

Hi
Unfortunately there seems to be some misunderstanding from Mozilla's part about
msi packages (and Windows Installer) and why many customers have for over ten
years expressed their desire to get msi packages straight from Mozilla.
Providing an msi wrapper as a solution quite misses the
Hi Ledru!
I just did a quick check of the MSI and, with all due respect, custom action
wrapping an .exe-file in to an MSI with a silent switch is not really something
that makes anyones life easier from an enterprise perspective.
The strengths of an MSI comes from the different database tables
