Flash Player Silent Installation on PDA

Tryin to deploy the Flash Player on thousands Pocket PCs and
get annoyed by the Licensing pop-up.
Is there any possibilities to launch the installation in a
silent mode or does Adobe have an *.exe for installation instead of
a cab ????
Thanks a lot

Yes, this is an intentional change made by Microsoft.  Here's a FAQ that gives a high level overview.
How do I install Flash Player on Windows 8?

  • Adobe Flash Player 12 installation error

    I cannot install Adobe Flash Player 12. I go through all of the setting and just when I think it's about to finish I get the "General Installation Error" message.
    I've trashed all the Flash Player folders in my library but it hasn't helped. Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    I am having the same issue.
    This link is probably more useful though not in my case.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-mac.ht ml
    I too get the General Installation error and have followed the advice on the Adobe website.
    "Close all browsers if an error message appears."
    I have closed all browsers (force quit) but still get the "General Installation Error", interesting I also get update Garmin communicator.
    I have 18GB free on my drive.
    Any ideas what would cause the Mac Installation packages to fail?

  • Flash Player stops installation 50% of way

    I have installed Chrome but Flashplayer 11 goes half way through the process and says I have to turn off Internet Explorer.  I did the suggested steps as the help guide said but cannot get passed this 50% success mark.  Enabled scripting(already enabled anyway) turned off pop up blocker. Java keeps bothering me to update. Is this the proplem?

    Java is unrelated to Flash Player, but you should update it anyway (security fixes).
    Try this: download the offline installer from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header and save to disk, then close all browser windows and run the downloaded installer.

  • Flash Player update Installation w/o local admin privileges

    Hi guys!
    I'm a trainee at a small "electrical retailer".
    We set up an Active Directory with a Windows 2011 Essentials last week.
    There are several Win XP and 7 Clients. Users have no administrative rights, but they can install Windows Updates (group policy).
    And here comes the problem: each time adobe flash player wants to download and install an update you have to promote with an administrator account.
    Is there a possibility to grant special rights to the adobe installer? Is there an opportunity to integrate flash player updates into the group policy oder WSUS?
    Thanks a lot!

    Just an update to Pat's post.  A full install, such as 11.2 will actually require admin privileges.  However, subsequent updates using the new silent auto update mechanism will work fine on a standard user account without admin intervention.

  • Flash player silent auto update not working

    I was glad to read the news about the new feature of silent auto updates of the Adobe Flash player, but unfortunately this is not working on my machine. Has anyone had the same problems and was able to solve them?
    Some information on my setup:
    I had previously installed Flash player version 11.1.102.63, both ActiveX and Plugin version (installed through the .msi files, deployed via Active Directory/GPO - no further configuration, just plain original .msi files).
    To test the auto update feature, I decided to install the new 11.2.202.228 version, but only the ActiveX version. I installed this via the .exe installer (install_flash_player_11_active_x_32bit.exe) manually, choosing "Install updates automatically when available (recommended)" in the last step of the installation, as seen here:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/background-updater-windows.html
    When I open Control Panel -> Flash Player, under the "Advanced" tab I see:
    "Install updates automatically" is chosen, but greyed out (no admin rights with this windows user)
    ActiveX version: 11.2.202.228
    Plug-In version: 11.1.102.63
    The file "mms.cfg" under C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\ contains:
    AutoUpdateDisable=0
    SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1
    The task "Adobe Flash Player Updater" was created and is scheduled to run every 1 hour. I can see that it is started ("last start time"), the result code is 0x0 which means "no error".
    So everything as expected. But the auto update is not working, since the plugin version of flash player never gets updated!
    I edited the "mms.cfg" and added:
    SilentAutoUpdateVerboseLogging=1
    After manually starting the task, there are some lines added to "FlashInstall.log" in the same directory:

    Some more information:
    Windows XP SP3, all windows updates installed, german
    Avira Professional Security anti-virus software
    Machine is behind a proxy server, but this is set up in Control Panel -> Internet Options
    I suppose this is a problem with our proxy server. Does the auto updater not use the proxy information from the Windows Control Panel settings?

    Hey Hans,
    After reading of your sucsess I attempted to replicate it.
    I am happy to say that I managed to update from Adobe Flash 11.2.202.228 to 11.2.202.233 on serveral different windows 7 notebooks and desktops sliently.
    I went into the windows task scedular and ran the Adobe Flash Player Updater task (I didn't need to change anything in the task or the service for it to work).
    The only issue I found was that if I ran the task again without restarting the computer no requests from the client would show up in the logs from my web server but if I restarted my computer and then reran the task it would work again. I'm assuming that it will only sent requests out every 24hours is talked about in page 18 of the Flash Player 11.2 Administration Guide. 
    My Web Servers logs look like this:
    2012-04-27 05:45:01 W3SVC1967680676 10.135.12.38 GET /pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/11/xml/version.xml - 443 - 10.135.13.17 Get+Flash+Player+version+xml/1.0 200 0 0

    My mms.cfg looks like this:
    AutoUpdateDisable=0
    SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1
    SilentAutoUpdateServerDomain=proxy.tallangatta-sc.vic.edu.au
    I think the biggest issue I had during testing was that I forgot to my web servers certificate into the windows certificate stores trusts root certs of my notebooks/desktops. EG: http://blogs.adobe.com/livecycle/2012/04/rights-management-how-to-get-windows-7-to-trust-a -self-signed-server-certificate.html
    I have since deployed the mms.cfg file and added my web servers certificate into the trusted root certs via group policy to all my clients and it is working very well. I have also writen a batch file to download the needed files from adobe for that backgroup updater and to put them on my web server. I created a daily task on my web server to run the batch file. If anyone wants the batch file or shell script please email me and I'll forward it on.
    My batch file pretty much looks like this:

  • Flash Player 16 Installer opens but won't run on 64 bit Wdws 7 and IE 11

    I have Flash Player ActiveX Ver. 15.0.0.246 installed on my Dell Inspiron N7010 (Intel Core i3 processor) laptop, running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS with Service Pack 1, 6 GB of RAM, and using Internet Explorer Ver. 11.0, 32-bit browser.  Flash Player notified me that it was time to update to Flash Player Ver 16.0, and took me to the website to download the installer.  I first disabled my anti-virus (ESET NOD32 Ver 8.0.) and malware (Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Ver 2.0.4) software, and then clicked the 'Install' button on the website.  After I gave my security software permission to let it run, it opened the blank black installer window (labeled "Adobe Flash Player Installer").  Nothing happened after that.  No indications that anything was happening appeared in either the Adobe website window or the installer window.  (The Adobe website window had advanced to "Step 2 of 3.")  I gave it 10 or 15 minutes, then clicked the red "X" button in the upper right corner of the window to close it, but the installer window would not close.  I had to use the Windows Task Manager to shut it down.  I tried rebooting and re-attempting several times, but never was able to get the installer to run.
    The installer ran fine on my other computer, which has the same configuration / version nos. of OS, IE, AV, A-Malware, and Flash Player, and I was able to successfully upgrade it to FP 16.0.
    I have noticed that several others on this forum are having this problem, but with other combinations of OS and browsers, and I did not find a definitive solution for this problem that appeared to be applicable to my combination of software (defined above). If anyone with this combination of software has solved this problem, would you please be kind enough to provide a step-by-step description of the solution, on this forum, in layman's terms, and provide screen shots where little-known Windows, IE, or Flash Player steps / processes / menu choices are involved.
    Thanks,

  • How to automate Flash Player Debugger installs

    Hello,
    Everytime we push the latest version of Flash Player, Flash Player Debugger stops working and requires to upgrade.  I am working on making this upgrade automated along with our Flash deployments.
    I tested installing  Flash Player Debugger on a test PC, I don't see it listed inAdd/Remove programs wizard.  When I go to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ page, it reports I have the Flash player but when I go to http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/192/tn_19245.html page, it says I have the Content Debugger ActiveX Player.  It's unclear if both of these versions would co-exist.
    Importantly, I wanted to know what all the Adobe packages/suits that get the Adobe Flash Player Debugger version bundled in.  From http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/192/tn_19245.html it seems Flex distribution will have Adobe Flash Player Debugger version bundled.
    -Govardhan

    Hi,
    Since Microsoft embeds Flash Player in Internet Explorer on Wndows 8.x/10, the standalone uninstaller does not work to remove the ActiveX control on Windows 8.x/10 (it does uninstall the NPAPI and PPAPI plugins.)  Instructions for uninstalling the debugger on Windows 8.x are posted at Adobe Flash Player - Downloads which is the same page that contains the links for the Windows 8.x debugger installers.  Instructions for uninstalling are directly below the links for the debuggers.
    Since Microsoft embeds Flash Player on Windows 8.x/10 they lock the files to prevent users from uninstalling it as it is an integrated component of IE.  Since you have manually unregistered ActiveX components you may have performed irreparable damage to the file system, which is beyond the scope of this Flash Player installer forums.  This could by why you're getting the message that the update does not apply to you, however, that's difficult to ascertain at this point.  I'd start with running Windows Update and see if it includes an update for "Update for Internet Explorer Flash Player for Windows 8.x".  If it's not there you may need to install other updates before the "Update for Internet Explorer Flash Player for Windows 8.x" update shows up.  If it doesn't show up at all you'll need to contact Microsoft for their assistance.

  • FlexUnit CI - Flash Player linux installation

    I am now attempting to do some CI testing with the FlexUnit Ant task on the Linux platform, specifically RHEL 6 (x64). I am finding the installation of the Linux debug stand-alone player not as straight-forward as I had hoped. I finally found using google that additional packages are required: 
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/153/tn_15380.html
    http://install-manual.blogspot.com/2011/01/run-linux-flash-player-projector-in.html
    That is fine (even though the blog post lists a different set of packages than Adobe does).   I am wondering about the "bitness" of the sa linux player package:  is it 32-bit or 64 bit?  I am wondering if I should be installing 32 bit versions of the dependent packages, or using the 64 bit ones that I presume the package manager is going to find. 
    Also, a colleague told me that he thought the Flash player was 32 bit and that it had to be used in conjunction with 32 bit Java on Linux. Could anyone comment on this?
    Thanks,
    Trevor

    I just found this post in the "More Like This" column to the right.  Strange that my search of the forum did not show that thread earlier.  Anyway, good Mr. Legros gives some advice that I found helpful: the stand-alone flash player is only available in a 32-bit version. But it can be made to work on a 64-bit Linux server.  I just got it working this morning. Both 64-bit and also some 32-bit dependencies must be installed. 
    On a 64-bit OS like RHEL 6, simply using "yum install <package>" will install the 64-bit version of the package.  e.g.
    yum install libcurl
    To get the 32-bit version, use:
    yum install libcurl.i686
    I grabbed the latest 10.3 Linux projector sa player from the Adobe site, version 10.3.183.11.
    On RHEL 6, here is the list of packages I installed per the Adobe Linux readme (note some were already installed and did not need to be updated). All of these are x64:
    libdl.so.2
    libpthread.so.0
    libX11.so.6
    libXext.so.6
    libXt.so.6
    * libfreetype.so.6    This was listed, but due to a dependency problem, I did not install
    libfontconfig.so.1
    libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
    libgobject-2.0.so.0
    libglib-2.0.so.0
    libm.so.6
    libc.so.6
    libnss3
    cURL
    Then I checked this helpful blog post and installed the following additional modules (32-bit):
    libcurl.i686
    libcurl-devel.i686
    There were more modules listed, but I only installed these... (the less changes to a system, the better).
    Ok, at this point, I could run the "flashplayerdebug" executable and launch the GUI window, but I was seeing this warning in the console: (flashplayerdebugger:17237): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "clearlooks". To get rid of this, I also installed:
    gtk2-engines.i686
    After all the above the player opens fine with no warnings, though I have not ran any SWFs yet.  When I close the GUI window, however, I do see a warning and a critical error:
    (flashplayerdebugger:19650): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: instance with invalid (NULL) class pointer
    (flashplayerdebugger:19650): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_signal_handlers_disconnect_matched: assertion `G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed
    This seems to be a bug in the player itself.  I just hope it does not cause me any issues.
    I hope this is helpful to someone else.  I know it will be helpful to me the next time I have to install the player on Linux!
    Regards,
    Trevor

  • Flash Player 11 installer started but the installation dialog was not shown

    I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and did not have any firewall software installed.
    Task Manager showed that the installer “install_flash_player_ax_64bit.exe” was running but the installation dialog did not show. After about a minute, the installer itself closed automatically.
    I have tried the following tasks but were of no avail:
    (1) Uninstalled previous version via “Control Panel” -> “Programs and Features” and deleted folders named with “Macromed” and “Flash Player”
    (2) Uninstalled Acrobat
    (3) Reset Internet Explorer settings
    (4) Cleaned up everything left behind the Windows temporary folders
    This problem also occurred when I tried to install Acrobat Reader X.
    Please advise if I missed anything before a fresh installation, or whether there’s a necessity to reinstall my PC so as to get the installer works again.
    Thank you very much in advance.

    I could install Flash Player 11 successfully using the offline installer.
    However, I have no idea about why the online installer of Flash Player and Reader do not work at all - started in the background and closes automatically after about a minute

  • Clarification on Flash Player 11 installation/removal

    Hi,
    I see that Flash Player 11 now has 32 and 64-bit versions for Windows. Is the bit version in reference to the OS or the Internet Browser you are using? For example, Sun Java also has 32/64-bit versions but they are in reference to the Internet Browser. So if you have Windows 64-bit installed, you would install both the 32 and 64-bit version of Java to cover both Internet Explorer bit versions. If we are running Windows 64-bit, does that mean we should install both 32 and 64-bit versions of Flash Player as I have illustrated in the Java example?
    Also, is there a new uninstaller utility that supports this version? Where can that be downloaded? Does the uninstaller utility remove both the ActiveX and Plug-In versions?
    Thanks,
    Rob

    It is indeed not clear from the existing documents.  But here it is...
    The 64-bit installer is for 64-bit operating systems, and it will install Flash Player for both 32-bit and 64-bit browsers.
    The 32-bit installer is, of course, for 32-bit operating systems.
    See the links in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/909550 for the uninstaller downloads.
    The uninstallers will uninstall all installed FP versions.

    Hi Herman,
    I can't help you I'm afraid!
    I have exactly the same problem! I've tried downloading Flash Player 9 several times and I always get the same two files - flash player.plugin and flashplayer.xpt. There's no installer (nothing that looks like the file shown in Adobe's 'installation instructions') so I don't know what to do with the files. I've read somewhere that more than one copy of Flash Player installed can cause glitches so I ran Adobe's Flash Player Uninstaller and then downloaded Flash Player 9 again. But still the same two files arrived!
    Is there someone out there who can help please..? I'm absolutely baffled!
    Thanks in advance... and fingers crossed x !
    Best regards,
