Creating Mozilla Thunderbird package with Calendar extention.
I am attempting to package Thuderbird with the calendar extension into a deployable Msi for a Citrix environment. So far I have been successful creating the Thunderbird Msi. The issue is when I try to instal the calendar. When I deply the package; no calendar. I cannot seem to capture the calendar extension install. I have used Wise, WinInstall and Citirix Packager. I get the same results, a good Thunderbird msi, but the calendar feature was not capture. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

If someone still cares.... [8|] Thunderbird 2.0.0.x and Lightning 0.9... as global extension
1. Install Mozilla Thunderbird
2. Under %ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Thunderbird\extensions\ create folder {e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}
3. Extract contents of lightning.xpi file to the created folder (for example with 7-zip).
4. Some Thunderbird/Calendar cofiguration can be done via %ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Thunderbird\defaults\pref\ *.js files..
5. Take final snapshot..
Some points I know so far...

Some points I know so far...
- *.js files are parsed in reverse order to filenames.. (so a.js wil be parsed one of the last)
- You can create your custom *.js file in '\pref\' folder and put some but not all settings from user profile prefs.js file but you should change 'user_pref' to 'pref' (I still have problem to change default send/receive charset globaly for all users to UTF-8 - mailnews.send_default_charset and mailnews.view_default_charset do not work. There also are problems to set settings of the first day of the week globaly in Lightning).
- At the first start in user profile will be created sql database file for calendarig so users do not share same calendar on same machine.
