FrontMotion

I am deploying the FrontMotion FireFox (1.0.4) MSI and would like it to register itself as the default browser. If I understand the web page correctly, if I pass the parameter "INSTALLLEVEL=1000" when it is installing, it should register itself as the default browser. Unfortunately, IE is remaining the default browser
Any ideas? Thanks!

could you tell me how to set the installevel parameter? sorry, it's a newbie question. if i can get that set, i'll let you know if i experience the same thing.

You need to first do an 'administrative install', use the /a switch to install to a network directory. From there, you can tell a GPO to use that install.

for example.
msiexec /a Firefox.msi INSTALLLEVEL=1000

for more information see

or you can use the ORCA tool to edit/modify the .msi, changing the value of INSTALLLEVEL to 1000 in the properties table.

I'm using SMS 2003 to deploy firefox on our network. With the MSI I just tell it to use the per-system program. It worked fine with 1.04 and with 1.06 except for new domain users having trouble starting the program.

Should I not be deploying this program this way?

If SMS support setting the INSTALLLEVEL, all the better. Using ORCA or creating an install point is for people who only use the vanilla intelliinstall.
