[ SOLVED ] ~ Installing Multiple .xmi addons for Firefox ~

[Dos_Probie]

When running this batch with my .xmi files I get the following error
"Could not find process: firefox"
and then "The system cannot find the file specified."
It unzips the .xmi files to the temp folder then errors out and deletes them..
If anyone can proof this and make any corrections I would greatly appreciate it..

Code: Select all

@echo off

I think the problem in the first for loop that set the xpi_id variable.
replace the set command in the if else statement in a way it echo the i and j vars, and remove the goto command and add pause after the for loop, and compare the out put with the one that should appear.

all the errors that happen, happen in the section of the vaivai label, which depend on that for loop

Thanks, for the comment..
If I run the second for statement it says moved file and moves over to extensions folder in my profile..
If you have an example I can work on that and see what happens..

[abc0502]

i'm taking about the first one this one:

Code: Select all

FOR /F "tokens=2,3 delims=^<^>=" %%i in ('FIND "em:id" "%temp%\youraddon\addon\install.rdf"') DO (IF "%%~j"=="" (SET xpi_id=%%~i&GOTO :vaivai) ELSE (SET xpi_id=%%~j&GOTO :vaivai))

dose the xpi_id variable have the right data that it supposed to hold

[abc0502]

"Could not find process: firefox"

The command

Code: Select all

tskill firefox.exe

casue it, if the process is not exist it will generate that error.
so check to see if the process exist or not before running the command or just redirect the error

Code: Select all

tskill firefox.exe >nul 2>nul

"The system cannot find the file specified." error comes AFTER the tskill even if I rem it out..

[abc0502]

The only files that could be missing is in the last for loop, the one that make the move,
remove this for loop and only use the move command like this, there is no need for it any way.
intead of this

Code: Select all

FOR /F "tokens=*" %%i in ('dir /b /og "%temp%\youraddon\%xpi_id%\"') DO Move /y "%temp%\youraddon\%xpi_id%\%%i" "%appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\%%a\extensions\%xpi_id%\"

use this

Code: Select all

Move /y "%temp%\youraddon\%xpi_id%\*.*" "%appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\%%a\extensions\%xpi_id%\"

what is the content of the variable"%xpi_id%"?

[Dos_Probie]

what is the content of the variable"%xpi_id%"?

It specifies the extension id tag .. got the script from here: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/141531- ... f-install/

I did null out the tskill and still getting: "The system cannot find the file specified."

[foxidrive]

Are you use tskill or taskkill ?

[foxidrive]

Is this useful, if it still works?

"Depositing" an XPI file into the ~\Firefox\extensions\ folder when Firefox is closed still works to do a global installation. It will install that extension when each Profile is first launched.

[abc0502]

"The system cannot find the file specified."

I made a test on move command,
if you try to move files from an Existing folder to non Existing folder, no errors whether there is files to move or not.

But when you try to move files from non Existing folder to an Existing or non Existing folder it give the same error message

is the folder that you are trying to move data from exist ??

[Dos_Probie]

Ok it Does exists in my temp folder and will move it over to my profile extensions folder but then I still
get "The system cannot find the path specified" , also would there be a way to just specify each addon in the
script with just its own uniquie xpi id and run it that way?..

[abc0502]

how many profiles do you have in the firefox?
and can you post a link to this xpi files so i can test it in my pc?

[Dos_Probie]

I only have ONE Profile so that should simplify it.. and then about six addons .. would this script work if i just customize it for
each addon

Code: Select all

@echo off
    SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
    FOR /F "tokens=2,3 delims=^<^>=" %%i in ('FIND "em:id" "install.rdf"') DO (
       IF "%%~j"=="" (
          SET xml_id=%%~i
       ) ELSE (
          SET xml_id=%%~j
       )
       IF /I "!xml_id!" NEQ "" (
    :: don't match tbird's id
          IF /I "!xml_id!" NEQ "{3550f703-e582-4d05-9a08-453d09bdfdc6}" (
    :: don't match seamonkey's id   
             IF /I "!xml_id!" NEQ "{92650c4d-4b8e-4d2a-b7eb-24ecf4f6b63a}" (
    :: don't match firefox's id
                IF /I "!xml_id!" NEQ "{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}" (

                      GOTO :vaivai
                   )
                )
             )
          )

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ all the addons here are in XPI format. Pick some favourites, like Ad block +.

What about my comment a few posts ago from a website which shows a way to install many XPI files, if it works.
