No worries. The code is not well documented, if at all. So, if you have questions, feel free.

Here is the source code for what I was working on last. I don't know if it works as is or not. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/33523397/Inf%20Assistant.7z

I'll look through my drives and see if I still have the source files.

Sorry, but I did not see this post. This has been open since I first wrote it and is posted here. I quit working on this long ago as the interest in it seemed nil. It free and open for anyone to use or modify as you like, just give credit where credit is due. The file is just a 7zip exe. Hmm, looking at sourcefouge and the one posted above, the above one is newest, sourceforge is original. But, it is open source, do with it what you wish.

Well, I have not used this in years. Mozilla makes it too easy and this is almost unneeded.

Hey ric, How you been? Long time, eh? Things sorta slowing down and was looking for a project. But, this is probably too old to revive and not in any real demand anyway.

No worries. It is apparent that this project is dead.

I am considering reviving this project. But, first I would like to guage the interest. if, you have an interest in seeing this app updated, please join me at irc.synirc.net #FFaM and show your support.

Thank you for the info. That problem may have been with Mozilla pulling Firefox 16 and then making it available again. I am not sure. But, as I am working an yet another rewrite, I will fix any and all bugs that have been found. ~jonnyboy

I am currently rewriting FFaM again. This time in WPF .NET 4.0. I am in the beginning stages of the layout. If, you would like to offer your suggestions as to the UI, please post them here or email me. This is a tool that I learn with and learn from. You can follow me on github. ~jonnyboy

When I removed the code that verified that installer matched the posted MD5, I also removed the ability to reuse a previously downloaded installer. I didn't and don't have the time, right now, to properly fix it. As to the Shockwave installers, other than file size, I really don't know. If you go the the Adobe Shockwave site and download it, it will automatically give you the slim version. That's the best that I can do for now. ~jonnyboy BTW: Very few people even use this anymore, or ever really did.

FFaM v1.0.2.11 posted. -disabled 'older' Firefox version, Mozilla has removed the files and the links are invalid -disable checking MD5 sums, for now -changed 'Plugins' groupbox text to bold -fix bug with 0 byte files created when download flash installer -fixed bug when deleting files that are open, by adding dialog to close explorer -fixed bug where files named prefs.*, other htan main prefs.js were never copied

Still no free time, but I will look at it right now and see if I can see a problem.

I have made some bug fixes in the last couple of weeks, but they are untested. I need a a week or two and some free time to go through them. Then, I will post an update. ~jonnyboy

The new website for FFaM went 'Live' today. Thanks go to Stefan Beer for his efforts in creating the page and doing all the heavy lifting to get it ready for use. If, you have a moment, could I ask you to head over to Sourceforge and write a review or add a recommendation? It would help alot. Also, if you would check out the new website and click one of Social Networking buttons in the page footer. A little 'word of mouth' advertising would be greatly appreciated. Thank you ~jonnyboy

Update posted. v1.0.2.9 - 04-02-12 -fixed check boxes that should be unchecked when no Firefox profile is found. -properly fixed bug in getting correct install path, introduced when I changed compile from "x86" to "AnyCPU", as identified by MSFN user http://www.msfn.org/...281793-shaneee/

There is going to be some delay in getting this completed. The company that I am contracted with has lost their contract to another carrier. That, effectively, makes me unemployed. The next few weeks, although still employed until 4-14, will be spent searching for new employment. I will get back to this just as soon as I can. ~jonnyboy

Yes. You could make it easier on me a post them or a link. Thanks

I am working on the text editor portion of Inf Assistant. It is proving to be a little more difficult that anticipated. I have to decided to create it using WPF and ICSharpCode.AvalonEdit, by SharpDevelop. This requires .NET 4.0. Will that be a problem? Also, if you adept at creating icons, I could use a custom "Inf" file icon. All of the ones on the net on generic.

FFaM v1.0.2.8 posted. -fixed bug in getting correct install path, introduced when I changed compile from "x86" to "AnyCPU", as identified by MSFN user http://www.msfn.org/board/user/281793-shaneee/

https://github.com/jonnyboy/FFaM Thanks for the heads up. Got it fixed, wrong link.

Update posted. I hope I didn't break anything in the process. If anyone is interested in making a webpage for FFaM, hosted on sourceforge, please contact me. v1.0.2.7 - 03-09-12 -out of beta, begin versioning at 1.0.0.0, revision number will increment with every commit, not every revision will be posted as an update -check timestamp of local Flash Player Installer, if older than that on server, download new file -fixed "Pinned" shortcuts -rename "Quick Launch" to "Taskbar" -correct tab order -strengthened reg-ex for version number after Mozilla made changes to the "www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html" web page -installer now removes public profile created within the Firefox installation path -complete proper GPLv2 License requirements -complete git integration @ https://github.com/jonnyboy/FFaM -add update utility

I believe that I have it fixed. But, I am using a VM and installing the language packs, then changing the default language and try to create the shortcut. The are 35 language packs, including English. I am building a test machine now and I hope to have all of the languages tested and fixed by tomorrow. If, I don't find any other bugs that are quickly fixed, I will post an up tomorrow or the next day. That is, assuming that I get all of the languages tested and working. Oh, wait a minute, the update checker has to be completed first. So, add another day or two. ~jonnyboy PS. KUTGW? Honestly, I have never seen it before and I had to Google it.

That's correct. The other 2 would put one on the desktop and in Start Menu\Programs\(Whatever) folder.

The link I gave you was an incomplete update, lots of stuff completed since then, including shortcuts. I just posted the update, if you have the time, could you try it? Thank you
