Hi Folks!
First post so be gentle!!!
I'm attempting to embed PFF into a WinPE build. I've downloaded the 1.5.0.3 release and extracted it into my WinPE image.
I boot my WinPE system, xcopy the extracted folders into a ram disk and run portablefirefox.exe from there. I do this 'cos I assume some folders need to be writable.
However, nothing happens - no firefox splash page, zilch.
Is there anything I need to add to the PFF install (e.g. DLL's etc.) to get this to work ?
Thanks in advance
It's entirely self-contained. It does need a writable profile directory and firefox directory... but if you have the whole thing on a RAM disk, it should work. If it doesn't, it's something with WinPE. The RAM drive has a drive letter, right? It does need that.
Yup, my ramdisk (which is a standard MS 16Mb ramdisk BTW) has a letter Z:.
Anyway thanks for the input.
I'd hazard a guess that it's simply not big enough and runs out of room. Though you should at least see the splash screen if PFF.exe is uncorrupted.
Thanks for the input. I'll try again with a bigger ramdisk and give it another go.
