Re: [wpkg-users] Install of Firefox 10.0.03 and uninstall of firefox 3.6.X versions
Hi Jon- Maybe I should just stick with the upgrade part - no uninstall - thought that worked when I tested awhile back. I assumed the WPKG - wiki example worked. The helper works fine from command line - I can't understand why wpkg can't execute like any other command-line option it performs? Appreciate the code snippet. -Scott Jon Rhoades wrote: 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?

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.

It has help to add a small delay as the last remove command with: remove cmd=%ComSpec% /C ping -n 11 localhost nul/ This will wait for about ten seconds and allows the remove process to end before its success is checked. -- Stefan P.
