I am having some trouble getting my module to uninstall the specified application properly. My guess is that it is unable to read the [DetectionRegistry] portion correctly. I tried out the java 6 module from the module depot section of the forums, and I had the same problem with that too. So I am not sure where to go from here. Here is my module if that will help with troubleshooting.

Wow 211 views and no reply. I'm sorry we've all missed this.

In the meantime, the current version of Firefox is now 3.0.1 or, if you still want the 2.0.0.x branch, it's now 2.0.0.16.

I can see a problem with the Removal section. It should be something like:
[Removal]
"%Program Files%\Mozilla Firefox\uninstall\helper.exe" /S

In other words, helper.exe is not in the same folder as firefox.exe -- it's in the uninstall folder underneath.
