For those users of LogMeIn who are fed up with being prompted for the
Firefox plugin install, and then seeing that it's not compatible with
SM, I have put together a solution.
*-Download the file 'npRACtrl_ff3.xpi' from the LogMeIn site.
*-Using an archive tool such as WinZip or WinRAR, open the XPI archive
file
*-In the root directory inside the archive, open the 'install.rdf' file
(open with or select program dialogs, if necessary)
*-In the file, find the section with the beginning & ending tags of
"<em:targetApplication>" and "</em:targetApplication>"
*-Select the entire section and replace it with the text below:
<em:targetApplication>
<Description>
<em:id>{92650c4d-4b8e-4d2a-b7eb-24ecf4f6b63a}</em:id>
<em:minVersion>2.0a</em:minVersion>
<em:maxVersion>2.1a1pre</em:maxVersion>
</Description>
</em:targetApplication>
*-Close the text editor, answering any prompts for saving files as yes
or OK.
*-Select and delete the 'META-INF' folder. It contains metadata which
tells whether the file has been altered, which we just have.
*-Close the archive software, again saving changes.
*-Install the plugin into SM as normal and you're off!
This works on a WinXP Pro SP3 machine with SM 2.0.11, and I no longer
see prompts to install it, and the full-screen, etc., now work with
LogMeIn as they're supposed to. I've put all this in a contact email to
them, but if they don't change their XPI, at least we can do it
ourselves.
Where can this be downloaded a link would be very helpful.
The file path is "https://secure.logmein.com/activex/npRACtrl_ff3.xpi";,
but if you simply put that url in your browser it will start the
installer process in SM.
If you're using SM reporting as SM, knowledge base article with it's
link to the XPI download won't appear. Spoofing your browser may work if
you set that immediately after you log in, but my way was to log into
LogMeIn and switch to an IE tab. Go to Support, select for LogMeIn Free,
then select the Knowledge Base. In the search field type 'firefox', and
look under the Articles heading for "How do I manually install the
Firefox plugin?" Assuming you can see the article text and the link I
pasted above is visible, right-click and select "Save target as...". Now
you have the file to manipulate.
Note, I inadvertantly left out 1 comment from my original instructions:
when you open the 'install.rdf' file, do it in a text editor (Notepad).
Good hunting.
"if you simply put that url in your browser it will start the
installer process in SM." So the best way of doing things is to
right-click the link you have given and choice: "Save Link Target"
