Hi Leeoraharon,

Your .exe installation should be a simple Windows program with the the
npeskp32.dll file embedded as a resource and which copies it to the FireFox
"Plugins" folder.

You can locate the FireFox folder in the Windows registry under the key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\FirefoxHTML\shell\open\command.

You can check Firefox.exe product version (using a bunch of Windows API
documented by Microsoft).

And, if you purchase a certificate from a recognized certification authority
(Verisign or Thawte), you may sign your .exe file and get rid of the "author not
verified" warning.

Well, if we take off the 'author not verified' warning, there
shouldn't be too much of a problem with that approach. My knowledge of
FF plugin development is practically non existent, so I have no idea
how to go about achieving that either.
