Flash Player SCUP catalog

Hello!
I'm trying to use SCUP to publish some non-Microsoft updates to WSUS. Flash Player is one of the applications I need to support.
I did find the following interesting thread http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/configmgrsum/thread/ccb798f7-5f3e-4aef-b3 51-37ffc76753ba saying that there is a SCUP catalog for Adobe Flash Player at this location: http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/AdobeFlashPlayerCatalog. cab
However, upon importing it into SCUP and inspecting the two resulting updates, it seemed that the catalog is not up to date - the creation date of both catalog updates is 2010-02-05, while at least one security update for Flash Player (http://www.adobe.com/support/security/#flashplayer) has been released after that date.
Is the above mentioned location the reliable source to get Adobe Flash Player updates SCUP catalog?
Regards,
Radu.

Funny I'm having the same issue but I am able to get Reader and Acrobat updates published.I ended up downloading it manually pointed the install to the manual download saved it and then pointed it back to http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_playe r_16_plugin.msi and http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_playe r_16_active_x.msi.
Looks like the the installable rules and installed rules were my problem. When I pointed it to the manual download it changed them to "WSUS Generated MSI Installable Rule (read only)" and "WSUS Generated MSI Installed Rule (read only)"
If you need further instructions please let me know I'll detail it out. I still need to test it in my SCCM console also.

  • Adobe Flash player SCUP catalog cound found update from India

    Hi , 
    We have 2 sites with SCCM 2007 R3 and SCUP 2011 for each site.
    We have Windows 7 x64 SP1 on all client systems 
    First site is in INDIA .
    Second Site is in European country   
    1. Now when we import flash update from SCUP from India server then it Could not found the Latest flash update
    2. But at the same time when we import flash update from SCUP from European country it could found flash update .
    We are using url for both sites : http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/AdobeFlashPlayerCatalog_ SCUP.cab 
    Any idea why Adobe is not publishing updates to INDIA server. 
    Thanks

    Download Flash Player only from the Adobe.com website, not any dubious 3rd-party download site.
    Here are the installers for Windows: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header

  • Flash Player 11.8 SCUP Catalog not found

    When should SCUP Catalog have update (vesion 11.8.800.94)?
    Thank's

    Chrome has it's own Flash Player embedded by Google.
    TO check it, type "chrome://plugins" in the address bar.
    If it IS enabled, you may need to update Chrome or  reinstall it.

  • SCUP Catalog für Flash Player 11.7 nicht verfügbar

    Für die Softwareverteilung über ein SCUP Packet werden derzeit nur die alten Versionen angeboten.
    Wann wird die aktualisierte Datei verfügbar sein?
    Viele Grüße

    Hello Chris and Sameer,
    thank you for getting back on this issue.
    To answer your questions first:
    - no, I have not posted this issue in the connect forums - I will do and point to this discussion
    - Sameer, I have tested the webcam on the website you pointed out, it is not working with Firefox but it is working in Chrome
    I also need to give you an update on the current versions I use:
    Win 7 Pro (64bit) (all updates included)
    Firefox 21.0
    IE 10.0.9200.16576
    Chrome  26.0.1410.64 m
    Flash Player 11.7.700.202
    Adobe Connect Addin 11.2 r261
    I tested the webcam via FP with Firefox, IE and Chrome in the versions mentioned above. Only in Chrome I can run the WebCam on the www.testwebcam.com website. Once I start the adobe connect meeting and want to start the webcam the Connect Addin stops working with the popup as shown in post 3 of this discussion in all three browsers.
    All components have been uninstalled and installed again (except for IE)  for testing with no change in the result. I have also rolled back the computer to the system recovery point furthest back in time to see if any other installation might be the cause. But no luck either.
    I am happy to post the logs but would need advise where to find these or how to retrieve.
    Thanks!

  • Updating Flash Player ActiveX / Plugin via SCUP / SCCM

    Hello,
    I am deploying Updates via SCUP and SCCM to hundreds of Computers, mostly with Windows 7 x64.
    Fortunately Adobe provides an SCCM Update Catalog for both Adobe Flash ActiveX and Adobe Flash Plugin.
    But now my Problem:
    After publishing the Update via SCCM, the client is not supposed to be interfered with the Update Progress (which is working)
    I figured the Updater works like this:
    First SCCM checks if a Update needs to be deployed, if this is the case, The Flash Updater begins.
    First the old Flash Version is beeing uninstalled.
    But now: if the Client has a Browser Window (IE, or Firefox) open, the Updater is not able to install the new Flash Version and quits with an Error.
    This leaves the Client PC without any Flash (because its being uninstalled before)
    How can I prevent Flash being uninstalled due to the Update progress not working while a Browser window is open?
    Thank you very much!
    Sincerely Martin

    Exactly the same issue here (see http://forums.adobe.com/message/6285043#6285043). We have stopped the deployment of that package since nearly every second client is affected by this. It seems that the installation package does uninstall the flash player ocx (both 32-bit and 64-bit), but does not install the new version.
    I remember there was a bug at the beginning of this year, where the install package did install the new version, but marked it as "failed" in SCCM software center.. Just a few days later there was a new package in SCUP with the same version number...

  • Adobe Flash Player 32-bit/64-bit ActiveX 12.0.0.38 for IE - failing to install (via SCCM/SCUP)

    Hi, I've been using SCCM/SCUP to update Adobe Flash for some now, and it's been working great. Much better than pervious custom scripting methods. However, the most recent version for IE, 12.0.0.38, isn't installing properly on some machines in my workplace (all windows 7 sp1 32-bit), and I can't figure out why. I can't see any pattern witht the machines that have the error.
    The FlashInstall.log looks fine, no errors at all. And "Programs & Features" shows that version installed. However, SCCM keeps trying to reinstall and gives this error message: Installation job encountered some failures. Error = 0x80240022. I've read up on this message from previous flash versions, these seem to relate to different issues.
    The few machines with Firefox have all successfully installed that version, which I notice for the first time I can remember, is a slightly different version number? Adobe Flash Player 32-bit/64-bit Plugin 12.0.0.43.
    Has anyone else seen, this issue with 12.0.0.38 for IE, and have any ideas? Thanks

    May be related to issues with logic in detection which Adobe is investigating.

  • 4/8/2014 - Release - Flash Player 13

    The next version of Flash Player is available for immediate download.  In today's release we've updated Flash Player with important security updates and bug fixes.
    Security update details can be found here: Security Bulletin (APSB14-09)
    New Features for Flash Player 13:
    Enhanced Supplementary Character Support for TextField
    Characters from the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP) with Unicode code points between U+10000 and U+10FFFF now work correctly in TextField controls.  This change greatly enlarges the code point range we support, and now includes characters like emoticons and complex CCJK characters.
    New Stage3D Texture Wrapping Modes
    Developers can currently set the wrapping mode of a texture to either clamp or repeat.  Using the repeat option will repeat the texture on both the U and V axis.  However, in some use cases, you may only want to repeat the texture on either the u or v axis.
    This is now possible with the introduction of two new parameters:  REPEAT_U_CLAMP_V and CLAMP_U_REPEAT_V
    Stage3D Anti-Aliasing for Texture Rendering
    Anti-Aliasing is a useful for improving perceived image quality.  Hardware based Multisampling Anti-Aliasing (MSAA) is now available on all desktop platforms.  To enable MSAA, set the level from 0 to 4 using the antiAlias property of the Context3D.setRenderToTexture() method.
    0 = 1 subsample, no antialiasing
    1 = 2 subsamples, minimum quality antialiasing
    2 = 4 subsamples, medium quality antialiasing
    3 = 8 subsamples, high quality antialiasing
    4 = 16 subsamples, maximum quality antialiasing
    Relocated Full Screen Video Warning to Top of Screen
    We've made a small tweak to the "Press Esc to exit full screen mode" warning that is displayed for full screen video.  We've received feedback from developers and users that the dialog obscures content.  We wanted to make a change that both satisfies security concerns and customer viewing enjoyment.  To reduce the impact of the dialog on the on-screen content, we've moved the dialog to the top of the screen.
    Notable Fixes and Enhancements:
    3620987 : TextBlock.findPreviousAtomBoundary incorrect after TextElement.replaceText when discretionary hyphens are used

  • 2/20/2014 - Release - Flash Player 12

    The next version of Flash Player is available for immediate download.  In today's release we've updated Flash Player with important security updates and bug fixes.
    Security update details can be found here: Security Bulletin (APSB14-07)
    New Features for Flash Player 12:
    Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 7 Support
    Microsoft has released IE 11 on Windows 7 and we plan to officially support this in Flash Player 12.
    Mac .pkg Installation Support
    Deploying Flash Player and keeping it up to date is a critical task for system administrators worldwide.  In Flash Player 11.9 we added .pkg support for ease of deployment.  In Flash Player 12, we've incorporated feedback from system administrators to improve the workflow and UI.
    Graphics: Buffer Usage flag for Stage3D
    We've added a new enum Class called Context3DBufferUsage which defines two constants, STATIC_DRAW (default) and DYNAMIC_DRAW.  These constants specify how buffers will be used in Stage3D. We've also added a new parameter, called "bufferUsage", to the constructors of VertexBuffer and IndexBuffer. This "bufferUsage" parameter uses one of the constants form Context3DBufferUsage, which will allow you to select the appropriate buffer type according to your needs.
    Stage3D Creation of Context3D with Profile Array
    We've added a new interface to Stage3D.requestContext3DMatchingProfiles(profiles:Vector.<String> ) which will create a Context3D with highest level suitable profile that is in profile array,  based on the current hardware.  A developer can check the newly added property 'profile' to obtain the current profile that was chosen by the Flash Runtime.

  • Adobe flash player crashes on video

    Every time I play a video on CNN.com, the flash palyer crashes with a window saying that:
    Security error E2000, no active security context.
    This repeats every time and if a new video picks up, it appears again. The error has to be cleard with the taskmamanger

    Hi, Thanks. Don't do anything with "Import SCCM/ConfigMgr SCUP Catalog" and"Import SMS Catalog"? That does not apply to you.
    Glad there was nothing found with the AVG Scan.  Go back to the Flash folder and post back the Flash files you now have Installed.
    Let's make sure they are all there.
    Using IE, go to Tools, Internet Options and click on the Security Tab. Do you have it set to Medium for the Internet Zone?
    Using FF, go to plugins and is the Shockwave Flash listed and Enabled?
    Using IE, go to Tools, Manage add ons and is the Shockwave Flash Object listed and Enabled? Is it version 10.1.102.64?
    Let me know if you are getting any messages from the video websites. Also can you view Youtube videos?
    I wouldn't make any changes right now until I have the information from you. Right now just check these things and answer my questions please. I want to make sure the Flash Player and the above are all correct first.
    Then we can move on to the LinkScanner.

  • 4/15/2014 - Beta - Flash Player 13.0.0.199

    The latest Flash Player 13 builds are now available.  You can download Flash Player here: http://www.adobe.com/go/flashplayerbeta.
    New Features for Flash Player 13:
    Enhanced Supplementary Character Support for TextField
    Characters from the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP) with Unicode code points between U+10000 and U+10FFFF now work correctly in TextField controls.  This change greatly enlarges the code point range we support, and now includes characters like emoticons and complex CCJK characters.
    New Stage3D Texture Wrapping Modes
    Developers can currently set the wrapping mode of a texture to either clamp or repeat.  Using the repeat option will repeat the texture on both the U and V axis.  However, in some use cases, you may only want to repeat the texture on either the u or v axis.
    This is now possible with the introduction of two new parameters:  REPEAT_U_CLAMP_V and CLAMP_U_REPEAT_V
    Stage3D Anti-Aliasing for Texture Rendering
    Anti-Aliasing is a useful for improving perceived image quality.  Hardware based Multisampling Anti-Aliasing (MSAA) is now available on all desktop platforms.  To enable MSAA, set the level from 0 to 4 using the antiAlias property of the Context3D.setRenderToTexture() method.
    0 = 1 subsample, no antialiasing
    1 = 2 subsamples, minimum quality antialiasing
    2 = 4 subsamples, medium quality antialiasing
    3 = 8 subsamples, high quality antialiasing
    4 = 16 subsamples, maximum quality antialiasing
    Relocated Full Screen Video Warning to Top of Screen
    We've made a small tweak to the "Press Esc to exit full screen mode" warning that is displayed for full screen video.  We've received feedback from developers and users that the dialog obscures content.  We wanted to make a change that both satisfies security concerns and customer viewing enjoyment.  To reduce the impact of the dialog on the on-screen content, we've moved the dialog to the top of the screen.

    About the Beta Channel
    Beta Versions of Flash Player are available for automatic installation via our Background Updateservice. Please subscribe to automatically install or receive update availability notifications at runtime.

    We launched the ESR to provide pain relief for network administrators, but it came long after the background update service was built, and it's not currently designed to handle multiple parallel branches.  Supporting the ESR via background update is on our product backlog, but it's not likely to get done for a while.  Just getting the ESR was the first battle, and we're making incremental improvements as time allows.
    The really big organizations that we were targeting with the ESR typically run their own in-house auto-update servers or they push all updates through their own management tools (AD/SCUP/SMS/etc).  Those organizations typically have onerous testing requirements for distributing feature-bearing updates, so the ESR was really designed to minimize the testing burden on those IT departments -- streamlining the distribution is something we want to do, but it was more important to just make it available as an option for distribution.
    You can find details on running your own auto-update server in the administration guide, but it's non-trivial and we're still working out the kinks (notifications slip through in some edge-cases, etc).  There's also a good rundown on the customization options for various updates.  You may be better off using your standard software management tools to distribute updates in the short-term, depending on your environment's complexity and available resources:

  • Flash Player 11.7.700.169 install errors 1722 Action NewCustomAction1

    Hi,
    Yet again on mass deployment of Flash updates we are seeing problems.  We update all Flash agents via SCCM and SCUP and have recently published the 11.7 update.
    A very high proportion of the machines (Windows 7 x64) fail with this in the event viewer:
    Product: Adobe Flash Player 11 ActiveX -- Error 1722.There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action NewCustomAction1, location: C:\Windows\TEMP\InstallAX_11_7_700_169.exe, command: -install -msi
    You are then left with no version of Flash as it has already removed 11.6.
    Based on previous versions with problems I tried deleting any keys related to Flash from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products and also all of the "Safe Versions" keys.  Even after doing this the problem still exists.
    Looking for a solid, remote solution as I've got about 8,000 machines to work on.  The relevant parts of the flashinstalllog are below:

    Hi,
    For those regarding iSpring user, we spent a lot of time in debugging that too.
    here are the pieces we got and hope it helps.
    The audio would got cut off once you tried to unload as2 swf. According to the SwfLoader doc, it would try to cut off all resources if possible (including audio object...). And it seems that their new flash player 11.7 would try to forcefully clear out stuffs that it shouldn't
    Our hackaround is to call the netstream.seek() to trigger the sound again. Playing sound object doesn't work
    Please adobe!! help us to keep our job here. It would be poor for us by just releasing a player without knowing which part of the backward compatibilities that it is about to break but just post a note on the page to say it may break something old.
    Thanks,
    Venant

  • Distribution MSI for Adobe Flash Player for Plugin Browser

    The MSI File provided for distributing Adobe Flash Player for Plugin based browsers (in this case Firefox) is not working when we test in our test environment.
    It is working with the Windows XP Clients in the test group however it does not work with the Windows 7 Client Machines.  Firefox prompts for a manual download of the adobe flash software. After the manual install of the Software flash player is working but there is a new item in the program catalog. Adobe Flash Player Plugin it's size is 6.00MB. Comparatively the size that is installed by the MSI is 16.xxMB and it doesnt work.
    What I have tested
    WSUS Install of MSI - Failed, Firefox prompts to install adobe flash
    Client Install of MSI - Failed, Firefox prompts to install adobe flash
    Intercept EXE from Temp Directory and then install after uninstalling MSI - Works
    The problem appears to be in the MSI, like I said before it is working for the Windows XP Clients.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Anand,
    If you have licensed Flash Player for distribution (which appears to be what you are doing), you should have received an email with the download links for the installers.  If you are distributing Flash Player without first licensing it for such, you must apply for a distribution license at Adobe Flash Player Distribution | Adobe.  Once you do this, you will receive an email with the links to download Flash Player.
    Further information on licensing, and distributing Flash Player within your organization is available in the Adobe Flash Player Administration Guide for Flash Player | Adobe Developer Connection.
