-'''PLEASE NOTE:'''<br>
+This documentation has moved to https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/browser/installer/windows/installer/FullConfig.html.
-This page has been superseded by the [https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/browser/installer/windows/installer/FullConfig.html Firefox source tree documentation]. The content that was already here has been left up for convenience, but the above link is now the authoritative, up-to-date documentation.
-''Please comment in the Talk page (use the Discussion tab above)''
-<b>IMPORTANT:</b><br>
-DO NOT MIX command line options from different lines below (e.g. don't mix /S with /INI, etc.)<br>
-The account performing the installation will require administrative privileges to properly complete the installation.<br>
-This page applies only to the full installer and not the stub installer. If you want to perform a silent install you cannot do so with the stub installer and you must use the full installer. Full installers for Firefox can be found at http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ (or for Firefox [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/organizations/ ESR] at http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/organizations/all/ ).
-Silent install (always installs into the default location. Use the "Configuration ini file" option below to set the install location and other install options):<br>
-<tt>&lt;path to setup executable&gt; -ms</tt>
-Silent uninstall:<br>
-<tt>&lt;path to setup executable&gt; /S</tt>
-Configuration ini file:<br>
-<tt>&lt;path to setup executable&gt; [/INI=&lt;<b>full path</b> to configuration ini file&gt;]</tt>
-When specifying a configuration ini file the installer will always run silently. When specifying a Configuration ini file other command line switches should not be specified and may have unexpected results
-Configuration ini file syntax and available settings:
-<pre>[Install]
-;
-; Remove the semicolon (;) to un-comment a line.
-;
-; The name of the directory where the application will be installed in the
-; system's program files directory. The security
-; context the installer is running in must have write access to the
-; installation directory. Also, the directory must not exist or if it exists
-; it must be a directory and not a file. If any of these conditions are not met
-; the installer will abort the installation with an error level of 2. If this
-; value is specified then InstallDirectoryPath will be ignored.
-; InstallDirectoryName=Mozilla Firefox
-; The full path to the directory to install the application. The security
-; context the installer is running in must have write access to the
-; installation directory. Also, the directory must not exist or if it exists
-; it must be a directory and not a file. If any of these conditions are not met
-; the installer will abort the installation with an error level of 2.
-; InstallDirectoryPath=c:\firefox\
-; By default all of the following shortcuts are created. To prevent the
-; creation of a shortcut specify false for the shortcut you don't want created.
-; Create a shortcut for the application in the current user's QuickLaunch
-; directory.
-; QuickLaunchShortcut=false
-; Create a shortcut for the application on the taskbar.
-; TaskbarShortcut=false
-; Create a shortcut for the application on the desktop. This will create the
-; shortcut in the All Users Desktop directory and if that fails this will
-; attempt to create the shortcuts in the current user's Start Menu directory.
-; DesktopShortcut=false
-; Create shortcuts for the application in the Start Menu. This will create the
-; shortcuts in the All Users Start Menu directory and if that fails this will
-; attempt to create the shortcuts in the current user's Start Menu directory.
-; StartMenuShortcuts=false
-; The directory name to use for the StartMenu folder (not available with
-; Firefox 4.0 and above - see note below).
-; note: if StartMenuShortcuts=false is specified then this will be ignored.
-; StartMenuDirectoryName=Mozilla Firefox
-; The MozillaMaintenance service is used for silent updates and may be used
-; for other maintenance related tasks.  It is an optional component.
-; This option can be used in Firefox 16 or later to skip installing the service.
-; MaintenanceService=false
-; Starts with Firefox 60, it's possible to mark all or some of the extensions
-; bundled within a partner distribution as optional.
-; Set this option to false to opt-out installtion of any optional extensions.
-; OptionalExtensions=false</pre>
-As of Firefox 4.0 StartMenuDirectoryName is ignored due to the removal of the start menu directory for Firefox and the creation of a start menu shortcut in the root of the start menu (see {{bug|598779}}).
