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

Here is the code:

install 10, as upgrading works fine from 3.6 to 10ESR, for example using

The Firefox installer is based on NSIS, which is quite tricky when it 
comes to waiting for the end of the remove procedure.


It has help to add a small delay as the last remove command with:

This will wait for about ten seconds and allows the remove process to 
end before its success is checked.

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:

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

But, it appears that on many machines there is still the old version of Firefox

I've tried many check conditions and used the example Firefox XML from this

However - when we test and run debugging from the client - we have issues.
