[Mozilla Enterprise] Windows GPO and manual Firefox updates

[Eddie Rowe]

Sorry about that... that is a feature of the tool we use to deploy updates. It is an environmental variable that points to the current directory where the installer resides so we never have hard coded paths.

Hi Eddie,

%CD% is not a notation I'm familiar with (and Google's no help, as it just tells me it's the change directory command line instruction, which I already knew) in this context.  What does it do?

Regards

Will

While I do not use GPO to deploy anything, I never uninstall the prior version of Firefox or Firefox ESR.  I just run the same installer routine as I did when I installed it way back when.

Non-ESR:
msiexec.exe /i "Firefox Setup 66.0.msi" ALLUSERS=1 /qn /norestart /log output.log TRANSFORMS="Firefox_1.0.mst"

ESR:
Firefox Setup 60.6.0esr.exe /INI="%CD%\Firefox.ini"

Hi!

I deployed Firefox 65.0.2 last week with a GPO and decided to be rolling out updates manually so I disabled auto updates. Now version 66.0 came out and am looking at rolling it out. I added the new msi file to the GPO and am looking at the "Upgrades" tab in its properties. When I click "Add" I can select the package it will update (65.0.2 in this case) but am unsure which option below to choose? Should it be "Uninstall the existing package, then install the upgrade package" or "Package can upgrade over the existing package"? This is on Windows.
