Firefox 25 silent install

[rbenner1184]

I am attempting to do a silent install for my company for Firefox and lock down certain sites with a certain add ons. To lock it down i have copied the Mozilla directory from the profile that I have staged for testing. My concern is the error that I get, because I run the syntax error check and I don't receive any errors. Nor do I receive errors in my log that I am creating with the script. It just keeps telling me there is an illegal statement. I for the life can't figure out what that illegal statement is. I have attached a screen shot of the error and posted me code. Can anyone help me with this please?

What do you get when you run the script uncompiled? And what's on line 94?

[rbenner1184]

94 is a comment thats whats crazy..lol. When I run it uncompiled it doesn't return any errors I can see.

Hey rbenner.

Do you have this error as soon as you run the script or the first commands are executed?

[rbenner1184]

it seems like I have this error when the first commands are executed.

[rbenner1184]

ProgressSet(100,"Installing Firefox 25")
RunWait('"' & $installDir & '\FirefoxSetup25.exe -ms"')
_Log("Install returned " & $ret1 & ", @err=" & @error & ", @ext=" & @extended)

It seems to be at this line, but i'm confused, because when i run this from the command line it works.

[rbenner1184]

it seems though when i omit this i still get this error. I have ommited several lines and they all return an error on line 94, but 94 is a comment the compiler shouldn't even read that.

[Neutro]

This line is incorrect:

 
DirRemove("C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox") OR DirRemove("C:\Program Files(x86)\Mozilla Firefox")

It should be:

 
if @OSArch == "X86" then DirRemove("C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox")
if @OSArch == "X64" then DirRemove("C:\Program Files\(x86)\Mozilla Firefox")
 

Make this change in your script, recompile it and tell me how it goes

Good eye. Thanks that worked. Your a life saver!!

[Neutro]

So you might want to reinstall autoit!

Its odd, because i did yesterday i'm going to need to run a filecleanup on my machine maybe. i do alot of testing on it.

Using a virtual machine and snapshot stystem is a good way to always have a clean testing setup. You should try it

I'm using that now mostly, but before I was not. Your right it does work better thats for sure. its much cleaner. Thanks again!

Switches don't work for me? Is there something specific that needs to be done? I've tried them all. Even in command prompt. A GUI still pops up.

[water]

You need to be more specific.
Which switches do you talk about? Which version of FireFox (I hope you do not talk about FF 25)? Can you post your script?
