Hello,
Copy/pasted from this site:

If you want to do the installation with the updates feature turned off, do this:
install Flash player by running a batch file that includes the following:
md %WINDIR%\System32\Macromed\Flash
copy mms.cfg %WINDIR%\System32\Macromed\Flash
msiexec /i flash_player_12_active_x.msi /quiet /norestart /log "C:\WIndows\Temp\flashActivX12.log"
the "mms.cfg" file includes this text in it :
AutoUpdateDisable=1
AutoUpdateInterval=0

Flash Player deploy by GPO - not working

I've been attempting to get Flash Player 10 (distributable verision, install_flash_player_10_active_x.msi) to deploy accross our network - three sites, around 100 computers total.
I've assigned it to Group Policy, the client machines pull it down and install successfully (it even shows up in Add/Remove programmes).
However it doesn't work. Whenever any user goes to a flash-based website they get a message telling them to download and install flash.
Has anyone else experienced this?
All our clients are running Win XP and IE8

In case this might help someone else - I've now given up with installing flash via GPO, and decided to try
to install via a vbscript computer start up script that I knocked together this morning. In case it might help someone else, copy is included below:
Basically - put msizap.exe from windows installer sdk + the adodb flash uninstaller/msi file in the directory (strNetworkPath)
Script then does the following:
1) Calls adobe's uninstaller exe in silent mode to clean up what adobe can - then what it leaves behind we do ourselves:
2) removes c:\windows\temp\installax.exe if it exists
3) searches for and deletes from registry any Managed applications references containing (Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX) - in our case, i've already told GPO's to remove flash player - so it's erroring on uninstall at the moment)
4) Search for any installed msi applications called 'adobe flash player 10 activex' and runs MSIZAP on them ( seems adobe uninstaller doesn't completely remove the local msi references ;/)
5) copies MSI down frmo network to windows temp
6) msiexec /qb msi
7) delete the msi file

Help installing Flash Player 12 through Active Directory

Hello,
I signed up to for flash player deployment and downloaded the MSI files for IE and other browsers. I published them in my Active Directory under User configuration for the group policy that is assigned to the workstation's OU. On a Windows 7 machine, I am trying to install it through Control Panel > Programs and Features > Install a Program from the Network.
As a standard user, I cannot do this as the install errors out indicating I need admin privileges. Ok that's fine. However, I logged into the computer as Domain Admin, and it still errors out saying I need admin privileges.
This happens regardless of the "Always install with elevated privileges" being enabled or not in that Group Policy, and yes it was set for both User configuration and computer configuration.
If I right-click the MSI file itself and select Install while logged in as a domain admin, then it works fine, the UAC does popup though to continue and it did not do that during the attempted install from the control panel.
The domain controller is Windows 2000. The workstation is Windows 7 Pro x64. What am I missing that prevents me from installing through control panel?

Flash Player Prompting to Update with Auto Updates Disabled

My scenario:
Windows 7 x64
Flash Player 11.7
mms.cfg located in C:\Windows\Syswow64\Macromed\Flash
mms.cfg settings:
AutoUpdateDisable=1
SilentAutoUpdateEnable=0
I opened the Flash Player Settings Manager and under Advanced tab, verified "Never check for updates" is enabled.
I have both Standard and Administrative users receiving the following warning to update Flash player. Again, I have verified the settings are correct and auto update is showing as disabled.

Hello,
Unfortunately, it's difficult to troubleshoot this issue after the fact due to how the auto-update notification is triggered. If auto-updates are disabled in the mms.cfg file the update notification should not display, however, there is an edge case scenario that could result in the update notification displaying.
First, to clarify some comments regarding the update settings in the mms.cfg file:
The default update settings are:
AutoUpdateDisable=0 (notification update is enabled)
SilentAutoUpdateEnable=0 (silent auto-update is disabled)
Silent auto-update is an opt-in option, it is not the default setting. When installing using the EXE installer if the system is not already opted into silent auto-update the user will be prompted to select an update option and the mms.cfg file will be updated with this selection. The MSI installer does not write to the mms.cfg file, therefore, it does not prompt the user to select an update option. When Flash Player is installed using the MSI installer Flash Player simply honors whatever settings are already present in the mms.cfg file.
SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1 enables silent auto-update ONLY if AutoUpdateDisable=0 is set.
AutoUpdateDisable=1 disables notification AND silent auto-updates
As of Flash Player 11.5, uninstalling Flash Player using the standalone uninstaller will reset the update options to the default setting (documented on page 8 of the Flash Player Administrator's Guide):
AutoUpdateDisable=0 (notification update is enabled)
SilentAutoUpdateEnable=0 (silent auto-update is disabled)
If your Flash Player deployment process is to first uninstall the Flash Player using the standalone uninstaller and then install Flash Player using the MSI installer the system will be configured for notification updates since this is the default setting. In this case you must re-deploy the custom mms.cfg file to disable updates at the same time Flash Player is installed using the MSI installer (e.g. uninstall, install using MSI, deploy custom mms.cfg file disabling updates). If the custom mms.cfg file disabling updates is not re-deployed at installation time it is possible for Flash Player to detect an update is available resulting in the upate notification displaying.
Regarding 'loud' releases, if you rely on silent auto-updates to update Flash Player within your organization, and want to avoid the update notification associated with a 'loud' release, you can host the updates on an internal server. Details on how to do this are on page 19 of the Flash Player Administrator's Guide.
This functionality is tested extensively and we have not been able to reproduce the update notification displaying when updates are disabled. Nonetheless, I will try using the various Flash Player versions mentioned in this thread.

Adobe Flash Player ActiveX deployment doesn´t work in SCCM 2012 R2

I´ve created an Application to deploy Adobe Flash Player 15.0.0.189 (last version). I´ve tried to deploy with the msi downloaded from Adobe site, using Powershell App Deploy Toolkit, bat script.. but nothing seems to work 100%.
I have 2500 computers in my company. Working with SCCM 2012 R2.
Some computers doesn´t install;
Some install it but Internet Explorer seems to loose this configuration and doesn´t open flash videos;
Some install but doesn´t uinstall the last version, then you can see two diferent versions installed;
Do you have a definitive solution to deploy Adobe Flash Player via SCCM?

Wrong link on deployment page (Flash Player)

Hi all,
I think there's a malformed link on the Flash Player distribution / deployment page (Weiterverteilung von Adobe Flash Player | Adobe):
when I click on the FP 15 ActiveX link, it downloads the correct version 15.0.0.239
the link for the FP 15 Plugin leads to version 15.0.0.223 instead

Hello Maria,
to reproduce please try the following:
- in a browser with freshly cleared cache, open page Weiterverteilung von Adobe Flash Player | Adobe
- under "Flash Player 15.0.0.239 (Windows und Mac)" click "download MSI-file" for plugin-based Browsers
- download the file to whichever place you like
- open the file with Orca (part of the Windows Platform SDK, single download here: Download: ORCA MSI Editor)
- within orca, klick on the "Component" table in the left pane
- on the right pane, have a close look at the second line:
- next, on a system with FP 15.0.0.223 or older, install the MSI
- check the FP version shown under "Control Panel" / "Software/Programs"
- at all my installs here, it still reads "15.0.0.223":

ActiveX msi Flash Player 10.0.42.34 group policy deploy issue

I have been deploying the flash player to our workstations since version 9. We have a 2003 AD domain and XP SP3 workstations.
I know that it is recommended to use the flash uninstall program to remove flash when installing a new version but I haven’t taken the time to work on that type of scripting for any install. Any attempts to uninstall the previous versions of flash via group policy when deploying have never worked. I had the same experience with java 1.5 jres…they would never uninstall via policy.
I have had success so far with deploying the latest version to the workstations with a new policy while leaving the old policy applied until a few weeks have past when all the workstations have been updated.
I am in the process of deploying Flash Player 10.0.42.34 to replace Flash Player 10.0.32.18
My test deploy to my virtual XP test workstation worked with no problems. The flash test paged detected the newer version and the correct version was in add/remove programs.
I then did a test deploy to a production workstation and the software installed without errors (the group policy install went extremely fast so I knew something was wrong). No errors were reported in the workstation application log. However when you visited the flash test page no version of flash was detected. I also checked in add/remove programs and the program icon was the windows installer icon instead of the normal red flash box….this has been associated with other installation issues in the past.
I have tried this on 3 other production machines and experienced the same results. My virtual XP test workstation has only had version 10.0.32.18 on it so I am guessing that having had the older versions of 10 on the production workstations is causing the problem somehow.
I have had issues in the past, but nothing like this. Looks like I may have been owned by adobe on this one.
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks

Sure , here is the url :
http://www.forevermark.com/ja-jp/The-World-of-Forevermark-/Precious-Collection/
On some machines , the Japanese text in the centre section appears very large. ..( see attached snapshot)
We initially encountered this on the version prior to the 10.0.42.34 version.
However even after the upgrading to 10.0.42.34 , the problem still persists .
Thanks

Flash Player 9 Deployment, Mac OS X

I'm trying to find out if there's a fast way I can upgrade my
Macintosh computers to the newest version of Flash Player
(currently 9) without having to visit each computer. I do have a
copy of Apple Remote Desktop, and could push the software with ARD
if the Flash installer were in pkg format, but it is not. We have a
player distribution license, through which we have received an MSI
for our Windows clients, but a mpkg or pkg is no where to be found.
Any advice would be appreciated :) Well, any advice but
suggestions that the computers be switched to Windows machines or
that we re-image the computers. I'd like to be able to deploy this
without having to re-image every computer.
Thank you,
Branden

If you haven't found adequate browser function or tried Camino browser,
you could get and use that, and set it as the default system browser. It
has good modern capabilities and helps the computer support Flash
and Shockwave. Note you may have to remove (by automated uninstall
or by manually dragging out) an older version of player to install newer.
Thought it may be worth mentioning.
Good luck & happy computing!

Deploying Flash Player to User environment

Hi All,
I've been running into some serious issues with our environment, it seems we have a lot of different versions of Flash Player floating on everyones machine at the moment - I'd like to change this as easily and quick as possible.
I was writing a script that used the Universal uninstaller to remove all versions of Flash Player then it would install the latest. However after it runs it will only partially uninstall the older versions of Flash Player, it sometimes will uninstall the whole thing and Install the latest perfectly. I noticed this only happens on the real older versions of Flash (11.2 - 11.6). After it uninstalls it partially I try to run the (.msi) installer manually and I get an error code 1722 ("There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as Expected") - where after i must run the msfixit tool(http://support.microsoft.com/mats/program_install_and_uninstall/) to fully remove the program.
The script goal:
Remove all versions of Flash Player using the Universal Uninstaller
Deletes the folders as specified:
          C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
          %appdata%\Adobe\Flash Player
          %appdata%\Macromedia\Flash Player
Installs latest version 11.9 ActiveX and Plugin
User Environment:
Mainly Windows 7 SP1 Enterprise x64
Currently mixed environment on old versions (11.2 - 11.6)
Non-admin users
Deployment plan as of now is Group Policy - later ideally SCUP once SCCM 2012 is setup.
Also seeking advise to stabalize environment for future deployments, ie: should i disable automatic update and deploy updates accordingly or is there a way to allow the users to get the latest versions of flash.
Thanks all!

Deploying Flash Player via GPO - need to have log files generated

I'm looking at deploying the Flash player to 3000 machines across my company via GPO (SCCM is comming in but not for another year). This would be fairly simple if it was just a standard deployment, but I need to ensure that I have close to total coverage, and the only way I can see of doing this is to use th /log switch in the launch parameters. I wish to deploy this via a GPO deployed software and not a script for future upgradability options and as such I'd like to know if anyone knows what parameters I'd need to change on ORCA/similar to make this work?
Thanks in advance
Dave

Deploying Flash Player via GPO sometimes results in uninstallation

We started deploying the Flash Player MSI via Group Policy several months ago, but something we've found is that on some computers, instead of getting updated, Flash Player gets uninstalled entirely and we have to manually reinstall it. Does anyone know what causes this and how to correct it?

Hello,
We'll need a few log files to investigate this further. Please provide the following log files:
FlashInstall.log file from one or more impacted systems. If the machine is 64-bit, there will be two files.
32-bit OS: C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
64-bit OS: C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash AND C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
msiexec install log fileYou'll need to provide the 'log' argument when running msiexec to create the log file.
Since the files will be large, please share them using the How to share a document instructions.
Thank you in advance.

Network Deployment of Adobe Flash Player

I need to deploy the new version of Adobe Flash Player to all of our pc's. I use group policy to deploy adobe reader to all of them and would like to do the same for flash. I can't find any documentation on you web site on doing this. I'm sure I will need to extract the msi file, just not sure where the files for flash are all located when it is installed. If I have over look this info on the website, please send me the link. If not, would some one who has done this with flash please share how they done it?
Thanks,

How do I extract the msi for flash player 10?
I have located the following files: Install Flash Player 10 ActiveX.exe, FlashUtil10b.exe and Flash10b.ocx. After installing both exe and looking at the log files, I know Install Flash Player 10 ActiveX.exe will create these two files, FlashUtil10b.exe and Flash10b.ocx. And from reading the admin guide I could right a script and install it silently at startup. However, I would rather do it as managed software through group policy.
From the forums online
I would like to deploy flash player using Group Policy. I just need to know how to extract the msi files.
I also have this file, flash_player_admin_guide.pdf. It assumes I have the msi.
You help is greatly appreciated,

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

When are Adobe going to make it easier to deploy flash player to the enterprise????

I've been deploying flash player for well over 5 years now and in that time the deployment has only got very marginally better.
Why do they continue to allow installs just to fail when the control is in use??? I've written vbscripts to kill the handle to the ocx activex file, rename the ocx to .old which allows the installax.exe install utility to complete without errors. When Internet explorer next relaunches it uses the new control and the old one can be deleted. Why can't they incorporate this kind of logic into their installs?
Why do Adobe insist on using rubbish exe routines inside msi's that are perfectly capable of installing applications and don't just bomb out at the first sign of a difficulty? Using custom installer routines inside msi's makes it very difficult for people who have more than adequate repackaging and software deployment experience to be able to customise and get around the difficulties that Adobe forces upon us.
When are Adobe going to realise that the way they are releasing updates for flash player is costing companies a lot of money in company's helpdesk and systems team's time spent supporting and troubleshooting their buggy installs? At best I've only experienced a 95% success rate with flash player deployments. Some people might say "what am I complaining about?" and "that's to be expected". This has only been the case with weeks of work to fix the flaws in the flash player install routines. However 5% failure on 4000 machines is 200 possible help desk calls and 200 people not able to use various applications, view web content etc. Before we invested the time in scripting to get around the installer flaws the success rate was closer to 75%, that's 1000 out of 4000 that were failing. Does anyone think that's acceptable considering how widely it's used?
What has Adobe got planned for enabling large businesses to manage the deployment of flash player better? They've done it with other products why can't they do it with flash player?
For software deployment teams this is a constant and ever present headache.
Any Adobe representative want to comment???

It's ridiculous cause most website use Flash Player and none of them work on my LG 650v Smart TV.
Are discussions being held between Adobe and LG? If yes, are they close to a solution? If no, what seems to be the issue?
