Has anyone been able to get firefox or thunderbird silent installs working with unattended?
yeah I did.
First I tried creating an MSI package with Wininstall LE, but for some reasons it dodn't work properly.
If you're looking for an English version, there may be MSI packages somewhere on the web though.
After lots of tries I got tired, downloaded ZIP archive of Firefox, uncompressed it to the Unattended packages directory, and placed something like that to my install.bat:
:: Install Firefox xcopy "Z:\packages\Firefox\*" C:\ /s /e /y /q
(where Z:\packages\Firefox is:
Z:\packages\Firefox\Program Files Z:\packages\Firefox\Documents and Settings etc.
It just copies the files and it works!
Two things:
1) you have to create desktop and start menu entries in Documents and Setting
2) Macromedia plugins won't install with /S switch, as Firefox is not registered as a browser in the registry - so just copy the appropriate files to Firefox/plugins etc.
