Preventing dialog boxes appearing in MSI from EXE

Hi,

I'm sure there's a simple answer to this, I wish to create an MSI for Firefox (12.0) and deploy it silently.

I've used the Import > Create MSI from EXE packages option.

What I can't seem to work out / understand, is how to pre-populate the Firefox dialog boxes.

For example, if you run "Firefox Setup 12.0.exe" on it's own, the first dialog box says "Next", then you're asked if you want Standard or Custom installation, then you're presented with an installation path, etc.

How do I create an MSI package that doesn't prompt for all these settings?

I followed your 7Zip guide, but even that asked for an installation folder path, etc.

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious!

Thanks in advance.
