Hello Freddie,

Hi Anatoly,

thanks for your help.

What makes rdf-files interesting ? I use install.js that executes my
setup.exe in the xpi-file and it works fine with Netscape and Firefox.
I don`t know how to handle Chrome/Xul/Styles ...

Is rdf-format more compatible than the "install.js"-way ?


install.js - is deprecated.
As far as i know - mozilla suggest to use install.rdf file.
rdf is a simple xml file.

As for me - i use install.js for Mozilla 1.7 and Netscape 7.2 as they don't know how to handle install.rdf. For newer FF 1.0.x and Netscape 8 i use install.rdf. I just put these 2 files in one xpi.

Install rdf allows You to uninstall extension - Your extension appears in extension manager, also You can define there some info bout extension - which will be used by FF/NS 8 to create About dialog. Also install.rdf has a url field for Extension AutoUpdate.

As i remember XPInstall (install.js) doesn't have method for uninstalling extensions and AutoApdate features.

So it's up to You which one to use, as FF and Netscape 8 still support install.js... but maybe FF 1.5 won't support it...
