    Hello, im new in SCE2010.

    After reading some sources for unattended install of Firefox i used the cmd.exe(as package in folder) and a install.bat (as Option) with "firefox3.6.exe /S" and other thing to deploy Firefox.

    I need to know: It is possible to deploy Firefox without user interaction? Wich options i need to deploy?

     

    Regards

    Stefan

    Hi Stefan,

     

    Please manually run the "install.bat" with "CMD.exe" on the local machine and see if it works.

     

    Regarding how to create a software package, I would like to suggest you refer to the following guides:

     

    How to Create and Deploy a Software Package in Essentials

    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb422906.aspx

     

    How to Create a Software Package That Contains a Response File in Essentials

    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb437207.aspx

     

    Meanwhile, I also think we need to know the parameters for the Firefox installation package. Considering this is related to specific software and we have limited information to help, it is recommended that you contact Firefox Support for help:

    Solved,

    I dont need the cmd.exe, only need the folder with the extrcated firefox as Install Folder and the setup.exe as Install Target. Then as Option only "-ms".

    I was so blind:-)
