[wpkg-users] Install of Firefox 10.0.03 and uninstall of firefox 3.6.X versions

[Jon Rhoades]

Hi Scott, 

I know it sucks, but probably the easiest way is to runt the uninstaller first and the do the install. It leaves behind the user profiles and I guess you will have all of your customisations in the new package anyway? 

Something like this would do it: 

<upgrade cmd="taskkill /F /IM Firefox.exe"> 
<exit code="0" /> 
<exit code="128" /> 
<exit code="1" /> 
</upgrade> 
<upgrade cmd='"%PKG_DESTINATION%\uninstall\helper.exe" /s' /> 
<upgrade include="install" /> 

Cheers Jon

Hi- 

We are trying to upgrade our Firefox version from 3.6.24-28 to 10.0.3. 
We’ve tested installs and the links, toolbar, etc seem to be intact and the upgrade goes well… 
But, it appears that on many machines there is still the old version of Firefox – 3.6.X. 

I’ve tried many check conditions and used the example Firefox XML from this link: 
http://wpkg.org/Firefox#Firefox_10.0_series_.28For_current_versions_of_WPKG.29 


However – when we test and run debugging from the client – we have issues. 
Many of messages or return codes are similar to this… 




Seems that only w4 can install or just remove so far. 
We can’t do both with the older version of Firefox for some reason. 

Her is our last version of the XML package file: 

---------------------------------------------------------------- 
<package 
id="firefox10.0.3" 
name="Mozilla Firefox" 
revision="%version%" 
reboot="false" 
priority="10"> 

<variable name="version" value="10.0.3" /> 
<variable name="architecture" value="x86" /> 
<variable name="locale" value="en" /> 
<variable name="SHORT_LANG" value="en" /> 
<variable name="PKG_VERSION" value="10.0.3.4451" /> 

<check 
type="uninstall" 
condition="exists" 
path="Mozilla Firefox" value="%PKG_VERSION%" /> 

<check type="file" condition="versionsmallerthan" path="%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" value="%PKG_VERSION%" /> 
<upgrade include="install" /> 
<upgrade cmd='"\\server\software\Firefox\v10\Firefox Setup 10.0.3esr.exe" -ms' /> 

----------------------------------------------------------------- 


Finally –how can we just run an in-place upgrade of 3.6.X? 
Meaning install 10.0.3 over the top without creating two entries in Add/Remove Pgms? 
Can someone help us un-install 3.6.X properly and install 10.0.3? 

Thanks much for any hints or help.
