Don't Import Anything
The first time Thunderbird is run as a particular user - including the Local System account - we get to see the useless "Don't Import Anything" dialog, which causes the lightning install via "-install-global-extension" to fail. We can work around this as follows:
<install cmd='%comspec% /c copy "%SOFTWARE%\thunderbird\lightning-0.9-tb-win.xpi" %TEMP%' />
<install timeout="10" cmd='"%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -install-global-extension "%TEMP%\lightning-0.9-tb-win.xpi"' />
<install cmd='ping 127.0.0.1 -n 10>NUL' />
<install cmd='pskill /accepteula thunderbird.exe' >
<exit code="0" />
<exit code="-1" />
</install>
<install cmd='"%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -install-global-extension "%TEMP%\lightning-0.9-tb-win.xpi"' />
<install cmd='%comspec% /c del "%TEMP%\lightning-0.9-tb-win.xpi"' />
Removing an extension
It looks like to remove an extension it is enough to remove that extension's files - in the above case, remove the whole %PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Thunderbird\extensions\{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103} directory.
Installing since Firefox 2.0.0.7
The xpi file must reside on a local disk or on a network share (drive letter). It can't be installed from the network.
Installing with Thunderbird 3
Lightning 0.9 does not work with Thunderbird 3 If you want to use Lightning with Thunderbird 3 download the international beta release of Lightning
Installing X.509 certificates
With Mozilla's Network Security Services (NSS) it is also possible to install certificates from the command line. I am not sure if it fits in here since these are not managed per-machine but per-user (or per-profile). But if you are looking for a way to deploy a CA-cert you can use my batch script.
