IMPORTANT:
DO NOT MIX command line options from different lines below (e.g. don't mix /S with /INI, etc.)
The account performing the installation will require administrative privileges to properly complete the installation.

note: /S is broken in Firefox 3.5 / 3.6 - bug 506867
<path to setup executable> [/INI=<full path to configuration ini file>]
<path to setup executable> [-ms]
Silent install / uninstall:
/S or -ms
