Silently (registry?) installed and enabled.
At least some of the files in the XPI code seems to be randomly generated, since it contains OS and version information.

I gave this a try and it didn't work for me. The installer had all browser checkboxes unchecked and disabled, and then it didn't install anything in Firefox. I don't know if the installer is broken or they just discontinued the browser integration (though that seems all they do...)

Can you still reproduce?

Seems they discontinued the add-on, althoug still blocklistable because it doesn't seem to be able to upgrade itself. They updated their installer and it no longer installs an add-on (all greyed out), it now has its own process ("C:\Program Files\WordProser_1.10.0.6\Service\wpsvc.exe"), intercepts web traffic and injects vitruvian-xdm iframes.

Their installer is horrible by the way, it records installed programs, running processes, and serial numbers etc.
