269971 - silent installation does not work

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 229706

(Firefox :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Carsten Cramer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041108 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041108 Firefox/1.0

doing a silent installtion with option -ma or ms still opens dialogs for user
intervention. These dialogs are:
- asking the installation path (see ID 229706)
- asking for finishing setup

All of these seem to be controlled by parameters within config.ini

Within section
[Dialog Select Install Path]
changing 'Show Dialog' parameter to FALSE
Show Dialog=FALSE
will result in no dialog popup as desired,

but within section
[Dialog Install Successful]
changing 'Show Dialog' parameter to FALSE
Show Dialog=FALSE
will hang up the whole installation process.

So there is no way in doinig an silent installation even in changing the
Run Mode parameter in the config.ini to auto or silent.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. install with setup option -ms or -ma
2. install with config.ini run mode parameter set to silent or auto
3.

Actual Results:  
dialog windows still pop up

Expected Results:  
no dialogs should be presented
