Offline flash pluggin deployment?

i'm using flex in an embedded environment will be
disconnected from the internet.
If the user does not have flash installed.. is there an
alternative download for offline deployment of the flash player.
This way i can offer the download through the hmi service on
the embedded device.
I can't seem to find the offline flash player pluggin
executable - also for multiple platforms (mac/llinux/ for different
versions of browsers?).
this request would be synonymous to microsofts
redistributable package installers, network installation versions,
offline installers .. ect
where is this found on adobe's website?

Please read this technote AND all the links from it:
" Security error appears when playing Flash content on a CD"
http://www.adobe.com/go/1165eb90
It's a tricky situation. Because of increasing security risk
we've had to close a lot of holes that previous Flash Players would
allow things through. And this is one of them.
In the near future you'd develop an app like this with Apollo
(currently in alpha on adobe labs) and not have this kind of
trouble...

Problems with Flash pluggin

I am running Windows XP with IE 6. I have been using this
system to listen to my favorite radio station for years and now
suddenly I get a message that I need to load Flash Pluggin 6 or
higher to beable to connect. Not sure what has changed but I have
tried several other systems and do not have the problem. When I
click on the supplied link to get the higher Flash pluggin I am
taken to the Adobe site where I click on download the Flash player
and I receive a message that the installatio is complete but
nothing changes on my system. Even after rebooting I still get the
same message. Any one have any ideas of what to check?

flash reader is an App for iPhone, iPad and iPod. Do you mean Flash Player?
And, what is the problem?

Where do you get the offline Flash installer?

Seriously, where can you get the current offline Flash
installer? This should be easily accessible, but the download page
is void of the info.

Amen, saving flash player and then loading it offline may
help some of the install problems.

Flash Application Deployment

I have just completed my first flash application, and am
trying to deploy it to IIS.
When I access the virtual directory from the local machine,
it runs fine. However if I try to access it from any remote
machine, nothing appears and the request times out.
Are there any security restrictions imposed in the default
wrapper generated by the Flex Builder?
I tried googling for a simple walk through article on how to
deploy an application but no luck. Any pointers would be
appreciated.

Faisy,
No default security restrictions by the html wrapper
(couldn't be) but there are a lot of security issues inside the
flash player by default. When browsing to the location, do you get
any result? If you see e.g. the grey default flex background, the
problem probably lies in the security settings of the player (and
we can take it from there). If you get nothing, it probably is a
IIS setting which goes beyond the scope of this forum.

Origin Flash Player Deployment

Hi EveryBody Here,
I have a Question About Deployment A full Version of
FlashPlayer(not FlashLite Edition) on a device. in fact on a
consumer device.
as you know some magic features in flashplayer is removed in
flashlite edition. for exaplme Play Video(specially H.263) and many
others.
However is this possible to approch deployment a origin
edition of FlashPlayer (7, 8 , or 9 any) on a device.(by relying on
Linux or without relying on a OS, in a standalone Interfac)
Please Help me and Practice in this topic.

Hello,

http://www.itninja.com/software/adobe/flash-player-3/12-1004
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

Safari 4 and Adobe Flash Pluggin Problem

Rather than just disabling the Safari Pluggin's in the Preferences>Security, how do you remove one pluggin at a time?
With Pluggin's disabled Adobe Flash is also disabled... HELP?

Hi
First, uninstall Flash and its component parts.
Next, install the latest version from here.
After the install, go to your Applications>Utilities folder and open Disk Utility. When opened, highlight your HD, then in the First-Aid panel "repair permissions".
When done, restart Safari.

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

Adobe Flash Silent Deployment (Browsers Open????)

Hi guys,
I've been deploying flash to about 4,500 systems. I monitor to see if Webbrowsers are open before performing the silent install with the -install switch for the exe installer. Some users always leave there browsers open so it never gets installed. My question is would it be a big deal to perform the isntall with browsers open?? I'm sure the install may fail if the browsers are actually using the Flash Player plugin.
Thanks,
Justin

I always run the uninstaller before installing the new version and have found that you will have some installations fail if the browser is open during installation due to files in the macromed\flash folder being tied up. I just do my installs only when no user is logged on to get around the problem and the installs that I put in Run Advertised Programs are scripted to close the browser as part of the install process.
I would also recommend you get setup on the distributuion site so you can use the .msi installer(s) which is a cleaner solution IMHO.
I would avoid doing the install if the browser is open if possible. I have done deployments and ran the install while browsers were open and saw a measurably higher failure rate. Most would install OK but a browser restart was needed for Flash to work and this caused a high call volume for the help desk.

Flash Mass Deployment

Is there a way to manually download any current version of
Flash and install it manually, rather than having to do it manually
through a web browser?
Is there any .msi packages available?
If there is a yes response to any of these questions,
please.. please let me know.
This question also applies to Shockwave.

Sure.. there's a free Flash Player licensing program:

Same thing for Shockwave, same URL..

Firefox crashes loading youtube videos but only there. it's working on other video pages. i started it in a safed modus but the problem is still there. I reinstalled firefox and the flash pluggin but it didn't help anything. What can I try else?

I'm using firefox 3.6.8.
All my pluggins are up to date
Using a link to a youtube video or on youtube itself the page crashes. I only can hear the sound for some seconds, then that stopps too. I have to close firefox using taskmanager, nothing else is working anymore.

Thanks again for your help.
I did these two updates now (java and plugin) and tried some youtube videos. At the beginning I thoughts that it is working now, because normally firefox crashed already with the first or second video. Now it's working for 5-10 videos and only every 5th-10th video brings firefox to crash.
With the plugin-container process thing I'm not really sure what to do. Do I have to disable the crash protection? (the 4 things that are written for window?) Could you maybe help me with this again?

Office365(Click to Run) Deployment with MDT Offline Media

Hi,
I have a scenario where i have to deploy Office365 using click to run with MDT offline media. Now the problem is with configuration.xml file in which we specify the source path of office files.
Here in this scenario as i have to deploy client machines with offline media, so in this case what will be the path in the config.xml file?
For testing purpose, after downloading the office source files, placed the setup.exe,config.xml file and office source folder in a same folder. Here is the config.xml file that i am using
<Configuration>
<Add SourcePath=" " OfficeClientEdition="32" >
<Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail">
<Language ID="en-us" />
</Product>
</Add>
</Configuration>
In source path, i leave it blank,so that it will use the office source files which was saved in the same folder.
Then in MDT server, created a new application for Office365.In command line used the command :- setup.exe /config configuration.xml
Created a new task sequence for OS deployment and added the step install application for installation of Office365.
After creating a selection profile for the deployment, created a offline media for deployment of client machine.
Now while i am running the offline media on the bare-metal machine, after OS installation the deployment got stuck at step install Office 365. Got error message pop up, according to which internet connection needed during installation process so that the
click to run set-up will download the office source files, It means this will not use the previously downloaded file which was saved in the same folder.
So this is what my problem is.. How can i customize the configuration.xml file so that i can install office 365 with offline media.
Regards
Pallavi

<Add SourcePath=" "
....In source path, i leave it blank,so that it will use the office source files which was saved in the same folder.
As per
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219426.aspx#BKMK_AddElement
SourcePath indicates the installation source path from which to install Office when you run the Office Deployment Tool in
configure mode. If you don’t specify SourcePath in
configure mode, Setup will look in the current folder for the Office source files. If the Office source files aren’t found in the current folder, Setup will look on Office 365 for them
So, for the /configure mode, you should remove the Sourcepath element completely - do not specify as <space>

Deploying An Older/Specific Version of Flash Via MSI?

We have a vendor that is requiring a specific version of Flash as a fix to a problem with the Flash on their website. Is it possible to deploy via GPO an older/specific version of Flash (10.0.32.18) using the MSI? I already have Flash being deployed via GPO using an MSI but it's installing a newer version. I need it to install the version listed above and I can't find any info on how to do this.

Hi, I'm not sure, perhaps another helper will reply to you. Normally the latest version of Flash Player improves or fixes a security issue in the previous versions. This vs 10.0.32.18 is 2 versions back and may cause other issues. I would think it would be better to try to fix the problem.
In addition you can refer to the Troubleshooting guide that states if a newer version of FP is Installed and you try to Install an earlier version, the Install would fail. There is a paragraph about this and a Tech note is listed also.

Enterprise Flash Deployment Gone Wrong

I recently deployed Flash Player 13 from ConfigMgr. First I ran the Flash uninstaller then the msi to install Flash. Flash is now broken on all machines. For troubleshooting I've gone to broken machines and manually performed the steps that ConfigMgr did. First I verify that Flash is indeed listed in Add/Remove programs. Next I run the uninstaller followed by the installer. The installer fails. The message I get indicates that the installer is looking for the msi for Flash 10 which is not available. (yes 10 really). I get an error however looking in Add Remove Programs Flash 13 is listed which matches up to what I saw with the ConfigMgr deployment. All the clients reported success to ConfigMgr even though the install isn't working correctly. I then try the msi for Flash 14 and it does the same thing. I can go to adobe.com and run the install from there and it works great. What can I do to resolve this on a mass scale?

I was able to determine that deploying the Flash .exe file works. It's just the msi installer that does not work. Any help from anyone at Adobe would be greatly appreciated. I can't even find a contact number for enterprise Flash player deployment support. Not even a pay per call number!

Any way to display a message when Flash is not found on the iPad?

Apple is obviously rejecting Flash to protect it's 'App' revenue. I've been on Android phones that run Flash and display all my content perfectly smooth. It can be quite frustrating how they are trying to bury it when I still have yet to see HTML5 replicate the type of interactive content Flash is capable of producing.
Is there any way to display a message on the iPad when the Flash player is not found?
I'd like it to says something along the lines of:
"Unfortunately the Apple iPad does not support the Flash player because their business interests do not want it taking away from their App revenue.
Did you know that the Dell Streak, HTC Flyer, Blackberry Playbook, Motorola Xoom, Samsung Galaxy Tab, Toshiba Thrive, and HP Touchpad all support the Flash player?"

Use swfobject for Flash detection and you can provide all kinds of alternate content... simple text, images, links, .js slideshow, a mov or mp4 video just for the iPhone... ANYTHING this is regular HTML. Your imagination is the only limit.
And YES, HTML5 is a far cry from replicating Flash... so give them the best of both worlds.
http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/
Review this article which deals with Flash and SEO for more ideas:
If you think that Flash is somehow bad for SEO, it's time to dispell that MYTH!
If fact, in some circumstances I'll use Flash INSTEAD of just HTML because then I'll have better SEO than with just HTML alone.
http://www.worldbarefootcenter.com/
The link to World Barefoot Center in the above post is just one example. View the source code and you see a couple paragraphs of text along with regular HTML links.... but what displays is the Flash version of the image and Flash links.
The client provided the artwork for the page... and that's what they wanted to use a .jpg image. Well yes, that could be done in HTML but it would be virtually invisible to Google. So Instead I converted the image into a Flash .swf and used swfobject to display the Flash. swfobject allows you to create alternate content inside the <div> which also holds the Flash .swf, then when the page is loaded it detects if the browser has the Flash pluggin. If it does, it displays just the Flash content, if not, it displays the alternate content. Since almost everyone has the Flash pluggin, for most people the Flash version of the <div> will display.
The alternate content for that <div> can be any regular HTML text, images, media player, links, etc., anything that you would use if you were not using the Flash. Now the best part is that the alternate content can be "over the top" as far as optimizing for SEO, since it will not be seen by most viewers.
Here's another example of SEO with Flash.. again, the page is just a single image provided by the client:
http://www.ksowetsuits.com/
View the source code. The alt content is paragraph after paragraph of information about the site, including lists and links. If it was just the HTML, it might be kind of a boring Home page. But for SEO I can go "over the top" in promoting the site, since most viewers will never see that part... but it's all indexed by search engines. The end result is BETTER SEO using Flash than just HTML.
On another Web site, a Flash video is displayed, the alt content is the complete text narration of the video. Now how many people would take the time to read that if they could just watch the video instead?? again, better SEO with Flash than without. In fact in one case we had first page search result from that video narration within 4 hours of posting the page.
On still another site with a Flash video, the alt content is another video, but a .mov version, which will, in effect play Flash video on the iPhone (not possible you say??). Well since the iPhone does not have Flash pluggin, it simply displays the .mov version of the video, while everyione else sees the Flash version.
So anyway, if Flash is a part of your Web development, you should look into using swfobject and alternate content.
