Hello, I want to start Firefox Portable from a CD without being asked, whether I want to copy the files to the HD. Is this possible?

I burned Firefox Portable as described on a CD, but each time I run the Software, a dialogue opens, which I have to confirm.
Edit the source and recompile. It's not that hard. I'll take a look and tell you what you need to do if I have a chance.
EditOk, so open up FirefoxPortable\Other\Source\FirefoxPortable.nsi in your favorite text editor, Ctrl+F this line
In front of the MessageBox MB_YE..... put a ; so you have
Save your file.
Now go to usb.smithtech.us and go to like the AppLauncher button, download NSIS Portable. Install is. And run NSISPortable.exe and drag your new FirefoxPortable.nsi into the window. It should compile and overwrite your existing FirefoxPortable.exe, now you'll have to reburn.
Now, I just took a quick look at this, I don't think there's any other option to disable that window, but this should work. I can't guarantee it'll work, I didn't look close enuff, but personally I think it should. I just don't want you wasting a C.D.
Thank you,
the described approach disables the dialogue indeed. But the software tries to run on the CD, if the dialogue is skipped and a Windows message appears. I figured out that setting the "RunLocally" to "true" solves my problem.
