Deploying / upgrading Flash Player in Active Directory

I saw that there was a similar thread a while ago, thought
I'd post a new one to see if there's any changes. Got some
questions I hope someone can answer:
* Does the current MSI package
(install_flash_player_active_x.msi) work for GPO deployment?
* Does it uninstall previous versions?
* Is there an Installshield Tuner like the one for the Adobe
Reader?
* Is there a regedit that can disable the AutoUpdate feature
instead of the mms.cfg ?
I'm a bit worried about deploying since having read in this
forum and over @ AppDeploy:
http://www.appdeploy.com/packages/detail.asp?id=798
I'm still amazed that proper tools aren't available for
deployment since most Users in domain environments aren't local
administrators. With Vista, this is even the default setting in
non-corprate environments.

No answer? :(

  • Deploying Flash player with Active Directory Group Policy

    I manage hundreds of computers at several different locations
    and have the nightmare of updating Flash Player everytime a new
    version comes out. The file I download from Adobe's site is an .exe
    and does not contain a .msi file for Active directpry deployment.
    How can I use group policy in Active Directory to deploy this
    software to all my computers without me having to individually
    touch each machine?

    so did any one ever send you an email or pm on the solution?
    I was searching the web for this exact topic and so far only found
    your question.
    12 days later - you'd think someone here would have typed up
    a solution........

  • Abobe Flash Player 9, Active X

    Something really wierd is happening.
    Over the course of the last few days I have had to reinstall
    my Adobe Flash Player because it keeps disappearing from my system.
    I have tried a few things and I think that I have narrowed it
    down to the exact problem.
    Everytime that I delete the temp files in IE, the Adobe Flash
    Player active X disappears from my add-ons and from the add/remove
    in the control panel.
    Does anyone know why this is happening? This only started
    happening within the last few days because I always clear the temp
    files and Flash Player's Active X never disappearing before!
    Yikes, this is to wierd! I may be wrong on this but I'm
    thinking that possibly the latest Microsoft patch that I downloaded
    on Tuesday may be the culprit.(KB929969) ??
    Thanks for your time,
    Decorte

    It is recommended that you remove older versions of Flash
    Player (unless they are needed for developer testing) when
    deploying the new MSI.
    There is a known issue when attempting to uninstall using the
    current MSI version 9.0.124.0. It will not completely remove all
    entries in the system registry. This will be addressed for a future
    release of Flash Player.
    You can include the Adobe Flash Player uninstaller in your
    deployment process. The uninstaller can be downloaded from here:
    http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157
    In addition, the MSI is only available for deployment via the
    Adobe Licensing Center:
    http://www.adobe.com/licensing/
    Please let me know if you have any further questions.

  • Upgrading Flash Player when I already have the latest verison installed on my computer

    I have the latest verison of Adobe Flash Player on my computer which is Adobe Flash Player 11 Active X  ( verison 11.9 ) and also I have Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin and while playing Farmville2 on Facebook, I am asked to download or upgrade my Adobe Flash Player. I have already been asked 3 times in the 45 mintues to upgrade my Player. Is this really neccessary that many times??

    You need to clear your browser cache and history so that the "cookie" which indicates a lower version isn't sent to Facebook.

  • I have been trying for days to upgrade Flash Player on my Mac (Mac OS 10.8.3, Safari 6.0.4

    I have been trying for days to upgrade Flash Player on my Mac (Mac OS 10.8.3, Safari 6.0.4, current Flash Player version 11.6.602.180), but each time that I download the installer and run it, there is a "General installation error" soon after starting the "Installing" phase.
    Each time, the installer completes the "Creating Install" and "Downloading" phases, but soon after starting the "Installing" phase, an error occurs "Error: General installation error" and Safari is opened tohttp://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/completion/aih/?exitcode=30&type=inst all&appid=500
    Is it unusual for another "Install Adobe Flash Player" app to open?  When the "Installing" phase begins, a second flash installer box icon appears in the dock, but then closes immediately and then the first installer shows the "Error: General installation error" page.

    Try this installer http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac/install_flash_playe r_11_osx.dmg

  • Can't upgrade Flash Player to 10.0.32.18

    Hello,
    Has anyone had any issues when trying to upgrade Flash Player to the latest version? The installer seems to hang and never completes.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers

    Thanks for the suggestions.
    I tried to install it with all browsers closed and it still failed. I then ran the uninstall and that failed the first time but worked the second time....so i have no flash player installed atm.
    I downloaded the installer again and when I click on the .pkg file the installer shows up in the dock but again nothing happens. (I also can't shutdown the machine after this happens...I have to hold the power button)
    Basically since the SL update my MBP has become very unstable.
    cheers

  • Chrome windows 7 do i need both adobe plugin 10 and adobe flash player 11 active x

    using chrome, windows 7 do i need adobe air, adobe plugin 10 and adobe flash player 11 active x? or is that why i am constantly getting a shockwave crashed message?

    If you have any AIR apps, you will need the AIR runtime; latest version is 14.0.0.110.
    "adobe plugin 10" means nothing; what program is it referring to?
    Flash Player 11 is outdated; the current version is 14.0.0.145.

    how do i uninstall adobe flash player 11 active x

    Hi there,
    Welcome to Adobe Community.
    You can go to Programs and Features (Windows 7) or Add or remove programs (Win XP) and uninstall the active x from there.
    OR
    You can download the Flash Player uninstaller to do this. Click here to download flash player uninstaller.
    The steps are mentioned in the below link to use the uninstaller.

  • Upgraded flash player, now it won't work (Win7 64bit, IE9)

    I upgraded Flash Player last night, and now it won't work, period.  I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling ad nauseum, but to no avail.  Based on some of the troubleshooting information, it looks like it's not appearing in IE's list of add-ons, but I don't know how to fix it so that it does - the install insists it's successful every time.
    Anyone know what's going on?

    If I go to the versions page, it wants me to install Adobe Flash (again), regardless of how many times I've run the installation before.

  • I need to uninstall Adobe Flash 11.3. My programs show Adobe Flash Player 11 Active X AND Adobe Flash Play Plugin. Do I uninstall both or just 1 (which one?)?

    In Firefox Add-ons it shows that I have Shockwave Flash 11.3 as a plugin. It shows that I can disable it but not uninstall it.
    I want to downgrade to Flash Player 10 so Firefox, and websites quit crashing.

    Adobe Flash Player 11 Active X is needed for Internet Explorer and its clones.
    The Plugin version is used by Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and other browsers that don't use ActiveX, but need the Plugin version.

  • Please Help! I tried to upgrade Flash Player, but have older computer

    Please Help! -- I tried to upgrade FLASH PLAYER, but I have an older MAC laptop OS X 10.4 = Version 4.1.3 (4533.19.4). 
    I need to UPGRADE Flash Player; however it's not available -- Recently, I cannot watch some videos or access particular websites.
    I'm a teacher, and CAN'T AFFORD to buy  a new computer at this time.
    > Can Adobe Corp. please help by offering an expanded range of UPGRADE support ??

    Unfortunately, if you're running OS 10.4, odds are that your Mac is a PowerPC model (-About This Mac will let you know for certain), and the newest version that will run on your system is Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and 9.0.289.0 (126 MB)
    That's a direct link to the download, you can right click (or control+click) and save it to your downloads folder. Expand it with Stuffit Expander and run the 10.102.64 installer.
    That's the best that can be hoped for because if your Mac is PowerPC, and I suspect it is, even Apple no longer supports it since September of 2009. The next OS X version (10.5) won't run the latest Player either. You'd need an Intel Mac with 10.6.3 or newer to use Flash Player 11.8.800.94.
    PowerMax does have some really good deals on "pre owned" Macs. I've bought three from them myself over the years.

  • OLM SCORM content issue with FLash Player 9 Active X version 9.0.115

    Hi,
    Does any one have issue completing SCORM online content (flash object) via OLM with FLash Player 9 Active X version 9.0.115 using IE? I have same problem also via mozilla.
    I have two computer one with 9.0.45 and one with 9.0.115. I can complete the online course with version 9.0.45 without any issue but the status always incomplete with version 9.0.115. When using 9.0.115 it seem there is not communication between OLM player and the application (nothing showup in the java console).
    I checked Adobe website and this is what they quoted:
    ActionScript 2 getURL() and ActionScript 3 navigateToURL()calls such as getURL("javascript:myFunction();") fail with live web-server content if the HTML and SWF are in separate domains. This issue appears in Internet Explorer versions 6 and 7.

    Dharma,
    I just tried a piece of flash content using 9.0.115 on iLearning and had no issues, and this should be no different than OLM.
    Is the SCORM Adapter set up and in use with debugging turned on? Do you see information in the java console when running the content using the other version of Flash?
