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

[Pickle]

Thanks Stefan- I found a post on Gmane - used a snippet of code from that
thread - it works now.

Here is the code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<packages:packages
        xmlns:packages="http://www.wpkg.org/packages"
xmlns:wpkg="http://www.wpkg.org/wpkg"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.wpkg.org/packages
../xsd/packages.xsd" >


	<package id="firefox" name="Mozilla Firefox" revision="%PKG_VER%"
reboot="false" priority="100">

         <!-- higher priority is used to install before Java and Flash
Player without defining a dependency, since Firefox doesn't really depend on
them -->

         <!-- set version variables -->
         <variable name="PKG_VER"     value="10.0.3"/>
         <variable name="PKG_EXE_VER" value="10.0.3.4451"/>
		 
         <!-- set destination folder -->
         <variable name="PKG_DEST"    value="%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox"
architecture="x86"/>
         <variable name="PKG_DEST"    value="%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Mozilla
Firefox" architecture="x64"/>

         <!-- default language is English -->
         <variable name="PKG_LNG"     value="en-us"/>
		 
		 <!-- Set Software Install Dir/Repository -->
		 <variable name="SOFTWARE" value="\\server\software\Firefox\v10\" />
		 		 
		 
         <check type="uninstall" condition="versiongreaterorequal"
path="Mozilla Firefox .+"     value="%PKG_VER%" />
         <check type="file" condition="versiongreaterorequal"
path="%PKG_DEST%\firefox.exe" value="%PKG_EXE_VER%" />
         
		 <install cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\Firefox Setup 10.0.3esr.exe" /S' />
		 
		 <!-- 
		 <install cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\Firefox Setup %PKG_VER% %PKG_LNG%.exe" /S' />
		 
		 <upgrade cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\Firefox Setup 10.0.3esr.exe" -ms' />
         <upgrade include="install" />

         <remove cmd='"%PKG_DEST%\uninstall\helper.exe" /s' />
         <remove cmd="%ComSpec% /c ping -n 11 localhost" />
		 -->
		 
	</package>

<!-- If you like to remove the previous version on upgrade you can change
the 
upgrade commands as below for the package above.

         <upgrade include="remove" />
         <upgrade include="install" />
-->

</packages:packages>
