How to silently install global extensions

I know how to install extensions globally. I've gotten that far with this. What I need is for it to NOT prompt a user to accept the extension installation when they launch firefox.
I am on windows 7 using firefox 17, but I need to implement this on windows server 2008 using firefox 16.

That is not possible. A user always needs to confirm installing a new extension.

  • How to install global extensions in FF4 ?

    Hi,
    I just downloaded FF4 RC and it looks like it is no more possible to install global extensions by dropping xpi files in FF install directory (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\extensions on Windows).
    Help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Drop the XPI's into the \extensions\ folder in Firefox program files.

  • How can I install an extension using Extension Manager CC?

    I have a mac running OSX 10.9.4.
    I have Photoshop CC 2014.1.0 / 20140730.r.148 x64
    I have Extension Manager CC 7.2.1.6
    According to "Creative Cloud" manager,  my versions of software are up to date.
    I tried installing three different extensions.  None of them load. When I double click on the extension file, it launches Extension Manager CC, but it appears that Extension Manager does not recognize that I have other Adobe products installed.  E.g., "Failed to install the extension 'XYZ.' Please make sure the manifest.xml of this extension is valid and the Extension Manager recognizes at least one product which the extension supports."  I get variations on this message, but the common thread seems to be "Extension Manager recognizes at least one product which the extension supports."
    When I choose "Manage Extensions" from the Help menu in Photoshop, it just launches "Creative Cloud" manager, which tells me all of the software is up to date.  (The first time that I tried this, it re-installed Extension Manager CC). Nothing else happens -- e.g., it does not launch Extension Manager.
    Any suggestions?  How do I get Extension Manager CC to recognize that I have Photoshop CC installed?

    One more thing -- I have seen references in postings to an "Extension Panel" under the "Window" menu.  I do not see that item in Photoshop CC.  (There is "Browse Extensions Online," which allows me to find more things that I can't load).

  • How to silently install and set default settings

    I need to deploy FireFox 16.0.2 to a bunch of Windows computers and set some default settings. Is there a good article that can walk me through it?
    I also need to set the home page, have it not check for the default browser, and disable updates. The -ms option does silently install FireFox so I guess I just need to know how to configure FireFox for our environment and push out those settings with the install.
    I have versions ranging from 1 to 15. Do those old versions need to be removed first or can 16.0.2 be installed over what is already there? Is there an uninstall switch for this so that I can create a package to remove it?

    hello jmoody76 - you can manage central settings with the mozilla.cfg file in the firefox program folder. this article gives some guidance on how to implement that: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences]
    i think it may work to just install the new versions on top of the older ones (though i'm not sure if this has any unintended side effects on those very old installations) or according to https://wiki.mozilla.org/Installer:Command_Line_Arguments it's possible to run a silent uninstall through the setup executable by /S.

  • How do I install an extension that I created?

    I created an extension using this tutorial (http://blog.mozilla.com/addons/2009/01/28/how-to-develop-a-firefox-extension/), as well as other sources.
    Error text:
    ''Firefox could not install this item because "install-48j..rdf" (provided by the item) is not well-formed or does not exist. Please contact the author about this problem.''
    Note that the three characters between the dash and the 2 dots changes every time I try an install. I tried installing it on 2 different versions of FF on Windows.
    Extension:
    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5989060/remembertabs.xpi

    You may also want to check out this line in rememberTabs.js:
    <pre><nowiki>if (remember = true) -> if (remember == true)</nowiki></pre>
    <pre><nowiki><!DOCTYPE remembertabs SYSTEM "chrome://remembertabs/locale/translations.dtd">
    </nowiki></pre>
    Try this instead:

  • How can I install an extension when it conflicts with an existing one that doesn't appear in the list of extensions?

    I'm trying to install Guide Guide for Photoshop CS 2014 using the Adobe Extension Manager CC but when clicking on the 3.1.2-guideguide.zxp I recieve the following error, "This extension cannot be installed, since it conflicts with a existing one. To install this extension, please remove the extension 'GuideGuide' which has been installed in ", then install again."  Note that there is some code breaking in there where ", is.  When I open Adobe Extension Manager CC there are no extensions listed.  None under any of the products to the left.  I can't uninstall it if it's not listed.
    After reviewing the forums I have gone into my %appdata%\Roaming\Adobe\ folder and removed all folders for previous versions of Adobe Extension Manager.
    Any help with this issue would be appreciated.  Thank you for your time.

    Please delete "C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Extension Manager CC\Configuration\DB\ExMan.db" then retry. Note that "C:\ProgramData" is hidden by default. You can input C:\ProgramData in the address bar of Windows Explorer then press "Enter" key to go into this folder.

  • How to silently install CSA using .wsf script

    I created an agent kit that does a quiet install, so it doesn't prompt the user, but it does display a couple of status boxes. It is possible to do a completely silent install? The config guide indicates that it can be done but doesn't give an example. I'm using the command "oExec = wshShell.Run ("CSA-setup.exe", 0, true)" in a .wsf file, where CSA-setup.exe is the agent kit file from the CSA MC.

    You should be able to write
    CSA-setup.exe /s --autolevel=1 --noreboot=1

  • Can't install updates due to how admin/silent install was built

    We finally dabbled with doing a silent/admin install for our Photoshop CS6 rollout.  We thought everything worked great until we tried to do the check for updates from the menu, and it gave us a message saying that we couldn't. 
    I think what happened was when we built the admin/silent install, there was an option about updates.  What we wanted to avoid was having the users (who don't have permissions to install the updates) getting prompted that an update was available.  What I think we did was somehow made it so updates can't be downloaded/installed at all.
    Is there a way to change the update behavior on each machine?  Or do we have to uninstall Photoshop, then build a new silent installer package with a different option and reinstall it?  I really hope there's a way to just change the setting somehow via the registry or a file.

    Have you tried using the Creative Cloud Packager to edit your previous package? I've never tried it myself to see if it will give yoiu access to make changes.
    If that option isn't available I believe there is a '.dat' file in the '/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdaterInventory/1.0/' folder on Macs that I can delete to re-enable software updates (may be CC only though). I imagine there is a similar file on a PC that could be deleted or temporarily relocated or renamed to achieve the same result.

  • How do I install Kuler extension in Flash CC

    Hello,
    I'm trying to get the kuler extension for Flash CC. I've already downloaded/installed Adobe Extension Manager and AdobeExchange but still when I go to Window/ Extensions inside of Flash ith says: 'No extensions are installed'
    I've tried to Quit out of Flash and re-enter but there's still nothing there. Please help.
    Thanks,
    Jacqui

    Well, this makes things more difficult. A lot of my clients and their users have slower internet that I do, I was really trying to gage what type of user experience they might have.
    Is there any indication if the 'simulation download settings' options will be brought back to CC, or added to Scout? I found it to be quite a handy feature.

  • How to silently install SSCERuntime

    Hi,
    using the WiX - installer I would like to silently install SQL Server Compact unattended using the following Settings:
    <PackageGroup Id="EmbeddedSql">
    <ExePackage
    InstallCommand="/quiet"
    RepairCommand="/quiet"
    UninstallCommand="/uninstall /quiet"
    SourceFile="<.. my path ..>\SSCERuntime_x64-DEU.exe"
    InstallCondition="VersionNT64"/>
    <ExePackage
    InstallCommand="/quiet"
    RepairCommand="/quiet"
    UninstallCommand="/uninstall /quiet"
    SourceFile="<.. my path ..>\SSCERuntime_x86-DEU.exe"
    InstallCondition="NOT VersionNT64"/>
    </PackageGroup>
    But the installation fails. The MSI Installer window pops up showing me
    the possible option, among which I see "/quiet" ... which
    I am using.What would be the right "commands" to achieve this goal?Regards
    Rainer

    Hi Erik,
    thanks for responding to my question!
    I prefer to use the official setups for two reasons:
    In case there is a update it seams to be easier to deploy them along with my project
    Since I have no control on the target system it is - for me - easier to handle whether to install the 64bit or 32 bit Version
    In the meanwhile I actually achieved a silent installation. I extracted the msi form the .exe and used a MsiPackage insteadd of ExePackage. It now looks like this:
    <PackageGroup Id="EmbeddedSql">
    <MsiPackage
    Visible="yes"
    Permanent="yes"
    SourceFile="<..myPath..>\SSCERuntime_x64-DEU.msi"
    InstallCondition="VersionNT64"/>
    <MsiPackage
    Permanent="yes"
    Visible="yes"
    SourceFile="<..myPath..>\SSCERuntime_x86-DEU.msi"
    InstallCondition="NOT VersionNT64"/>
    </PackageGroup>

  • How do I install an extension for Fireworks using Extension Manager?

    When you install an extension using Extension Manager in Windows 7 or Vista, the following error message appears: "You do not have the appropriate permissions required to perform this operation. Contact your system administrator to obtain permission."
    To solve this issue, run the Extension Manager as administrator and then install the extension.
    (Right-click the Extension Manager and select Run as Administrator.)

    It seems the SpringIDE comes with JBuilder is not compatible with OEPE.
    Try download the OEPE plugins from
    http://download.oracle.com/otn_software/oepe/ganymede/oepe-ganymede-11.1.1.1.1.200904131333.zip
    and unzip it into the /dropins folder of the JBuilder Eclispe installation directory. Then restart with -clean command line option.
