Good morning,

I am trying to create a package for Firefox 60 ESR along with an ini configuration file.

My installation command is as follows:

Code: Select all

install_exe_if_needed(exe64,'-ms /INI=config.ini',key=ukey64,min_version=versionff,killbefore='firefox.exe')

This runs without error but does not take the config.ini file into account

When I run the following command under MS-DOS

Code: Select all

Firefox.exe /INI=config.ini

Everything runs normally and even silently (no need for -ms). The various parameters included in the ini file are applied correctly.

It seems that /INI=config.ini is misplaced in the WAPT package code. What do you think? Could you help me with this?

THANKS.

Sincerely.

Okay, I just found the solution.

It would appear that the ini configuration file cannot be taken into account without a path being entered in the execution command.

Instead of :

Code: Select all

install_exe_if_needed(exe64,'-ms /INI=config.ini',key=ukey64,min_version=versionff,killbefore='firefox.exe')

It should be written (without the -ms option):

Code: Select all

install_exe_if_needed(exe64,'/INI=c:\\Windows\\TEMP\\config.ini',key=ukey64,min_version=versionff,killbefore='firefox.exe')

The configuration file must be copied beforehand.

In any case, it works very well and the configuration file applies its options.

Or without copying the ini file: ("basedir" represents the temporary directory where the package contents are unzipped during installation)

Code: Select all

install_exe_if_needed(exe64,'/INI="%s"' % makepath(basedir,'config.ini'),key=ukey64,min_version=versionff,killbefore='firefox.exe')

Ah yes, seen from that angle.

Thank you Hubert!!
