Hi,
What solution do you use to deploy software ?
I use WAPT which is an open-source client-server solution to deploy
softwares.
Softs are packaged using a Python framework where you can uninstall any
existing Firefox installs before installing the latest good version.
Here is sample code you can write in your WAPT Firefox package to handle
this
def install():
softname = 'Mozilla Firefox'
versionsoft = control['version'].split('-',1)[0]
check_installed = installed_softwares(softname)
if check_installed:
for uninstall in check_installed:
if not 'ESR' in uninstall['name'] :
print(u'remove Firefox not ESR' )
killalltasks('firefox.exe')
cmd = WAPT.uninstall_cmd(uninstall['key'])
run(cmd)
time.sleep (5)
if iswin64():
if 'x86' in uninstall['name'] :
print(u'remove Firefox x86 for install firefox x64' )
killalltasks('firefox.exe')
cmd = WAPT.uninstall_cmd(uninstall['key'])
run(cmd)
time.sleep (5)
print("Installing Firefox ESR")
if iswin64():
key='Mozilla Firefox %s ESR (x64 fr)' % versionsoft
install_exe_if_needed('Firefox Setup %sesr_x64.exe' %
versionsoft ,silentflags='-ms',key=key
,min_version=versionsoft,killbefore=['firefox.exe'])
else:
key='Mozilla Firefox %s ESR (x86 fr)' % versionsoft
install_exe_if_needed('Firefox Setup %sesr.exe' %
versionsoft,silentflags='-ms',key=key
,min_version=versionsoft,killbefore=['firefox.exe'])
Works perfectly for me and many people i know using that solution :
