thunderbird 3.0.3

[urie]

I am trying to install Thunderbird Setup 3.0.3.exe with basic silent install

original code without switches added

$search = FileFindFirstFile ( @ScriptDir & "\Thunderbird Setup 3*.exe" ); Search distribution

i added -ms -ira

Opt("WinWaitDelay",100)
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",4)
Opt("WinDetectHiddenText",1)
Opt("MouseCoordMode",0)
$ID = ""; Custom installation path example: $ID = "D:\Program Files\"
$search = FileFindFirstFile ( @ScriptDir & "\Thunderbird Setup 3*.exe -ms -ira" ); Search distribution
$SF = FileFindNextFile ( $search )
If $search = 1 Then ; Run installer
    If Not $ID = "" Then $D = "INSTALLDIR=" & Chr ( 34 ) & $ID & Chr ( 34 ) & " "
    Run ( @ScriptDir & "\" & $SF )
Else
    MsgBox ( 0x40010, @ScriptName, "Thunderbird Setup 3 not found", 3 )
    Exit
EndIf
EXIT

Now it can't find thunderbird exe try ing to get script so don't need to rename thunderbird exe everytime it is updated to newer version.

thanks

Add the switches to the RunWait function rather then the FileFindFirstFile function.

Opt("WinWaitDelay",100)
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",4)
Opt("WinDetectHiddenText",1)
Opt("MouseCoordMode",0)
$ID = ""; Custom installation path example: $ID = "D:\Program Files\"
$search = FileFindFirstFile ( @ScriptDir & "\Thunderbird Setup 3*.exe" ); Search distribution
$SF = FileFindNextFile ( $search )
If $search <> -1 Then ; Run installer
    If Not $ID = "" Then $D = 'INSTALLDIR="' & $ID & '" '
    RunWait ( '"' & @ScriptDir & "\" & $SF & '" -ms -ira')
Else
    MsgBox ( 0x40010, @ScriptName, "Thunderbird Setup 3 not found", 3 )
    Exit 1
EndIf
EXIT

Thanks MHz, just tested working great, other question if this was say and innosetup installer could

RunWait ( '"' & @ScriptDir & "\" & $SF & '" -ms -ira')

be changed to

RunWait ( '"' & @ScriptDir & "\" & $SF & '" /SILENT /SP- /NORESTART'

That is just a general question i,e for different installers.

Yes, you can. You are correct with the modification for another installer.
