install.rdf + additional file
Anatoly Kaverin
We're developing application which consists of next chain:
Firefox Extension + plug-in DLL
The problem is that i can't figure out how to write install.rdf for my XPI
package.
I need ut to extarct particular DLL file and XPT file (for XPConnect) into
particular directories, "Firefox location"\plug-in and "Firefox location"\components
respectively.
Of course, i guess that install.js with XPInstall functions can solve this...
but then i won't be able to have an auto-update feature for our Extension,
that is configured via install.rdf, isn't it?
Thanx for your attention;
Can someone advise the way...

With Thunderbird/Firefox 1.5, you can install plugins directly in
special directories within extensions: see
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Bundles
In the Thunderbird/Firefox 1.0.x series you will have to use xpinstall
to accomplish what you want.

Whenever its ready, they are currently working on releasing the beta,
which will then be followed by a release candidate; and barring any
problems, could become the final, otherwise a new release candidate will
be released after it... [lather rinse repeat] until it is deemed good
enough for a final.
