287082 - "Run Mode=Auto" in config.ini hangs installer

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: Installer, defect)

Description

[rcummins]

I downloaded the latest build from the trunk (1.0+_2005032106), and extracted
files from the installer and made just one change in config.ini, setting the
item "Run Mode=Normal" to "Run Mode=Auto", then ran setup.exe.  The installer
runs okay but hangs at "Currently installing Quality Feedback Agent".  I have to
close the installer to recover from this.  This also seemed to be the case with
Firefox 1.0.1, and Firefox 1.0 would stop to ask which folder Firefox should be
installed in, but wouldn't take any mouse or keyboard input.  The Firefox 1.0.2
release candidate installer hangs at "Firefox Help".  Getting "Run Mode=Auto" to
work never seemed to be a problem when making custom Mozilla installers.

Getting this to work was easier than I thought.

Basically in the case where we are auto (one property sheet), instead of doing
the property sheet, I just pop up the dialog.

Works great.

Was this bug forgotten? It's patch doesn't seem to have been checked in.

This appears to be the same problem I am running into attempting auto silent
installs from the command line using Firefox 1.0.6 or Deerpark nightly builds. I
can work around it for test automation by using zip installs, but this should be
fixed for Firefox 1.5.
