I'll work on it today and figure it out. As far as I can tell, the error only occurs when the key does not exist. I'll try to rewrite to look for the key first and create if necessary.

It appears that Win7 has changed the key "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Hidden" to something else. I don't why this key is not on your systems, but it is on every one of mine. It may be created when you enable "View Hidden Files\Folders" in folder options. I running InstallWatch now to see what new key is being used. Thanks ***EDIT*** The key has not changed, it just doesn't appear until the user has set their system to show hidden files\folders. I'm trying to figure out how to create that key.

Correct. UAC doesn't like it when the script looks at the registry. So, run as admin or disable UAC. As mentioned in my earlier post. This is not completed, but it does work. I posted only for those that 'could not' wait. Thanks

Thanks Would the addon be called a "WA" addon or a "W7T" addon?

I am updating my addon maker and tryng to incorporate this into it and I have 2 question. 1 - Will "Mozilla Firefox::Program Files" install into "Program Files (x86)" on 64-bit systems? 2 - can i run a command or installer, yet? Thanks

I have just added this project to Sourceforge.net and I will post the current work, as-is, in just a few minutes. Please, post any bugs on sourceforge. I will update the main page, here, as soon as I can. Firefox Addon Maker Thanks

Yes. Soon. There has been many changes to Firefox since the last major update and I'm trying to work it all out. Sorry for the delay.

@kukubau I need the logfile that is generated to even attempt to locate a problem. Please send it to me and I'll see what I can find.

First, thanks. Firefox Addon Maker is an 'addon maker', so the script needs to know the path to where the addon\installer should install to. Firefox does not have 'addons', it has plugins and extensions. So, Addon Installation Path, is not referring to them. As, I wrote this script for me and I install to %programfiles%\Firefox, that is how that field is populated. The current posteed version has a bug that is evident when installing extensions as 'global' and this can cause some problems. This has been, for some time, an inf installer. Even the silent installer is just a modified inf installation. With every new beta, i have to make several changes. This could be causing your problem. Going forward, I have removed the inf installer and the silent installer uses the firefox installer. Mozilla has made changes to their installer making it possible to install it anyway you like, silently. I should have the next one ready soon.

in languages other than english is the question.

I have nearly completed the update. I need some information from anyone that does not have english as their Windows language. When you right click on a exe or file, on the context menu, there is a choice to pin to taskbar. I need to what what the exact string is to pin to the taskbar. On english systems it is "Pin to Taskbar". Note, the string must be exact or it will not work. The sooner that you can get this to me, the sooner I can incorporate it into the script. Windows 7 has given me trouble in copying files, reading reg strings, creating shortcuts. I finally have it all worked out. The new version works in all versions of windows (xp and up) and the installer package will install in any version of windows (xp and up) 32-bit or 64-bit, silently. The script will only need to be run as admin if you have your folders\files hidden as the script needs to see hidden folders to copy from the profile and the script can change the reg setting to view hidden files. The install package does not need UAC to be disabled or to be run as admin. You will, of have to respond to the nag screen. I still have a few things to cleanup, but I should have it ready in a few days. Sorry, I only have a couple of hours a day to work on this. ***EDIT*** Does this path remain the same? "Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar"

I should have an update ready in a few days to a week.

It has taken me considerably longer to track down a couple of bugs, but I have found the problems. I have not finished the update. I hope to have it posted tonight.

Thanks for posting it. I have a couple of hours today and I'll go and check for bugs and incorporate nonno fabio's italian translation and post it today.

What vid card do you use? Quite a few low-end vid cards use shared ram for their memory. Even if not integrated video.

Just installed Win7 and I have been reading in the Win7 forum. It looks like I need to update my tool to create wa installers. Should be easy enough. That is, when I get some free time. So, look for it in the near future.

Glad to see ya. Hope it works for you. In the "Plugins" section, it is divided into 2 sections. The first is plugins that operate solely by itself, "No Additional Software" Required. The second section needs you to install the software for the plugin to work, "Additional Software Required". It is this way because of space limitations. The tooltips you can see when you click the "?" tell you exactly what is needed for each plugin to work.

Thanks, I update and add it in!

The reason is probably because the reg entries that I include are for x86 sAs a guess, I would say that it is because this tool does not officially support x64 systems. The reason that I have not added support is that x64 system default path for %ProgramFiles% is "C:\Program Files" and not "C:\Program Files (x86)". That being said, the paths in the reg entries used are probably pointing to the wrong path. But, I would need the log files to be certain. I do plan on adding support for x64 systems in my next major release.

Send me the log file and I'll figure it out. Thanks

Sorry, wrong file was posted. Correct file has now been uploaded and md5 corrected.

updated to 6.1.7600.16385 I will create the same files for x64 in a few days.

I finally have internet at home. once again. I have been using my phone, tethered, and I was limited. I will post something tonight or tomorrow. Thanks

Well, I have bad news. At about 8 this morning, the file that I have been working on for the past 5-6 days, became corrupted (when I moved my usb drive from one computer to another). The file is a total loss. I have backups, but they are 6 days old. I may have a newer backup at home, I will check it later. I have been trying many pieces of software to recover a previous version. so far, no luck. If anyone could suggest an app that can restore/recover a previous version of a text file, I would greatly appreciate it. I have not found anything that can do it, yet. Thanks ~Jonnyboy ***EDIT*** Oh well, I have a backup that is only 2 days old. Live and learn and start again.
