Firefox silent install fails

[samweiss]

I'm attempting to automate some browser updating across windows images, and I'm trying to install Firefox using wine on a linux server. The firefox installer comes with a silent install option, -ms, which I need to use since I'm not planning on having any user interaction, however, whenever I try and install using this option I get an error. I can install and run firefox normally without using this flag, however whenever I try and run

Code: Select all

wine Firefox\ Setup\ 29.0.1.exe

I get the following output:

Code: Select all

fixme:shell:SHChangeNotify unknown type 00000003

I also tried installing winetricks since the -q option sounds like it should automatically install silently, however I get another, different error.

Is there some way in wine to force a silent install? or disable window launching? And has anyone run into this issue before?

Thanks in advance!

No problems here, and nothing on appdb. If you're not using 1.7.19, you should upgrade. Also try a clean wineprefix and if you still have problems post the full output: http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log
