Can ANPM be called from the command line like:

ANPM.EXE m:\anpm\temp (where the unpacked FF45 lives)?

She thinks that this will start the ANPM program, first it will download 
the latest rpm-yum and then processing the FF45 files, and then FF45 
will be ready to use? And when we are on the subject of the old 
profiles, i.e. those that FF17.0.1ESR uses, can the relevant files like 
the .sql files and the .db files be imported so they will be correctly 
formatted for FF45?
