Uninstall_flash_player.exe as an MSI ?

Hi,
First post over here but i admit i used this forum a few times already ... with success every time ;-)
I'm sorry in advance if the question was already asked but if so, i was not able to find it.
Well, i'm REALLY looking for an msi version of uninstall_flash_player.exe that you can download over here :
http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/support/uninstall_flash_player.exe
Deploying succefully Flash player via GPO.
I do not have immediat problem with previous version nor update but when i was testing few thing, i found out that if i had version -for example- 11.4.402.265 and tried to deploy 11.4.402.287 with a brand new GPO (so without the previous "replace") the last version just did not install.
i had to first manually run the uninstaller to make the upgrade "doable".
my problem is : uninstaller is an .exe
-i do not really wish to run a batch to make it work.
-not running anything else than GPO (no PDQ / LUP / ... )
-got a mix of OS (XP / win7 x32 / Win7 x64) so using a that register the .exe action to make a .msi is not an really interesting solution (should make at least 3 of them ...but if i have to ... )
i tried to extract the uninstaller hoping for an MSI or an AIP ... without sucess (both 7zip and acrobat reader like)
so is there a way to get this uninstaller as an MSI ?
ty in advance !

checked the link and the link within the link didn't find anything related to an uninstaller in msi format either :-/
and yes Pat, i did not find anything about it either this is why i made this post, sadly it look like i didn't find it because it doesn't exist btw ...

Message after "uninstall_flash_player.exe"

I have Windows Vista (without SP1)
After executing "uninstall_flash_player.exe" pop-up window
(Windows Defender may be...) told me that program (just executed)
may be installed incorrectly and asked me:
"repeat installation", "installation done correct" or
"cancel".
What should I answer?
p.s. This pop-up windows I got both after uninstall Flash
player 9, and another time after uninstallation, when I even had no
Flash player....

That pop-up window was done not from Windopws Defender, but
was done from

Uninstall_flash_player.exe /s Fails ???

I'm interested in finding out why the most recent version of the uninstall_flash_player.exe utility program (released June 10, 2010 for version 10,1,53,64) no longer supports the /s switch to run it in silent mode like all past versions of this utility program did. Am hoping this can be fixed per a new release of the program.
Will further note this problem still exists in the most recent issue of the program as well noted as; (227 KB) (updated 07/30/2010)
Will further note this problem still exists in the most recent issue of the program as well noted as; (228 KB) (updated 08/10/2010)
Thx.
Jim

The problem is that when the exe was created Adobe didn't include it.
I have the same problem trying to install this patch onto 2,000 workstations, as the silent switch doesn't work.
Does anyone know how to deploy this patch in silent mode....?

How Do I Execute An exe or an msi Install file From a Button in Flash Movie

Issue:
I have a flash movie that runs as a standalone player on a
Demo CD... I also have an install msi file(same as an exe) that
when the user is done viewing the flash movie they can click on a
menu button in the flash movie that executes the msi or exe located
on the root of the CD which starts the install process.
Question: What is the action script (FOR FLASH 8) that i
apply to the button that will initiate or call the MSI or exe
install file.
Anyhelp would be great... even a link to an example... or
anything... thanks
Thanks in advance...

fscommand("exec","myexe.exe");
Should run the program myexe.exe inside a directory called
fscommand
which must be a subdirectory of whereever your projector is
located.
In windows:I know you can run .bat files with fscommand. But
I'm not sure about msi files.
You can often get around the limitations by having a .bat
file that will a) show a cmd window briefly and b) do the thing
that you couldn't do from flash.
If running the msi doesn't work from flash directly you may
want to try using a bat file...
There's some information here.

Could not write value vmware-tray.exe to key MSI error on Windows 8.1

Hello All,
I posted the following question to Microsoft guys, but the fellow at Microsoft support was 1000% sure that this issue is related to VMWare only. I am hoping to get some assistance at least here.
My question as below:-
Hello All,
NOTE: I have gone through many forums already and have followed all the steps recommended by different experts there. NO AVAIL! Hence, I am posting this here.
I have been trying to install VMWare Workstation 11 on my Windows 8.1 and I keep getting the MSI Error which says, "could not write value vmware-tray.exe to key \SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows'CurrentVersion\Run. Verify
that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel"
This is really very frustrating now. And I am beginning to hate Windows 8.1 :-(
I have disabled Anit-Virus, Windows Defender, Firewall ...everything possible. Tried to run the program as "Administrator", changed the permissions of all the HKEY related stuff under 'regedit" to "Full Control"....
I did everything that was asked. Nothing happens. I keep getting the same error.
Please Please help!!!!

You posted this in the Windows 8.1 Hyper-V group.
So I will ask, is Hyper-V involved? Do you have the Hyper-V role installed?
And again I ask, have you posted in the VMware forums? I ask because if this is a known issue, they would be the people that would know the reason and resolution (since it is their software package - regardless of the reason)
And, have you tried manually adding a registry setting to the registry path (without elevating your privileges)?

For .exe's and .msis with no silent option install

When packaging and installing executables and msi's with no silent install option, is the only recourse to enable interactive installation, or is there any other way to have it install, perhaps with defaults (next, next, finish etc.).
Thank you

One additional comment here, all MSIs have a silent install option because that's a function of the Windows Installer. It's possible for bad MSIs to circumvent this by either using a custom action that displays some UI or calls something that in-turn displays
UI.
As for exe's, if Installshield was used to build the exe, then you can create an .iss answer file as John pointed out.
I rarely see anything that can't be directly made silent. They do unfortunately exist though and your #1 option should be to contact the vendor and tell them their stupid, seriously (how will they ever know to fix it if someone doesn't tell them and relay
to them how problematic it is). Next you can try using AutoIT or you may have to repackage using AdminStudio or one of the other repackagers on the market.

.air to exe or an MSI package?

Is it possible to convet an .air file into an MSI package? or even an .exe? My developers have created this app with Air and would like to roll it out companywide. We have about 300 users and don't want to install one by one manualy. Can some one help with a solution?

We have been successful in deploying our AIR app via an MSI in our corporate environment. The users can launch the app via a desktop shortcut or from Program Files. However, we can't launch the AIR application from a browser (badge) if we've deployed via the MSI.
The badge thinks that the application hasn't been installed and therefore displays 'Install' as button label. If we do install the application by clicking 'Install' we can then launch via the badge....but we need to install via the MSI.
e.g.
And the HTML ....
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">

          <title>eRevenue</title>
          <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
          <script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
          <script type="text/javascript">
               var flashvars = new Object();
               flashvars.airVersion = "1.5";
               flashvars.applicationID = "eRevenue94.0.2.3";
               flashvars.applicationURL = "file:///Z:/IT&T/FLEX/AIR Installer Files/eRevenue94.0.2.3-dev.air";
               flashvars.publisherID = "00B5DD753DA2312E245FAD63894B9C283A29B6E9.1";
               swfobject.embedSWF("Badge.swf", "divBadge", "100", "50", "9.0.0", null, flashvars);
          </script>
     </head>
     <body>
          <div id="divBadge">
               <p>Alternative Content</p>
          </div>
     </body>
</html>
To generate the MSI we install the AIR app normally on a PC, then we package up the MSI from the installed files the AIR app deploys.
The AIR installer must do something else with the Publisher ID that the MSI doesn't know about - which is why the badge doesn't seem to recognise the application is installed.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dave

[GeForce 6] What's that sw20.exe file in msi nvidia drivers ?

Hello,
I have recently downloaded et installed msi nvidia drivers for my NX6600 GT (agp and vivo). No problem. But i discovered this morning that a sw20.exe file was launched by the registry at windows start up. It took me a long time to discover that this file had been installed with the drivers.
So, here is my question : what's the use of this file ?
Thanks for the answers et sorry for my poor english.

Error Installing SQL Server Express 2014 Advanced with Tools (SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe) Missing "cc8246.msi"

My system passed every element of the: "System Configuration Checker" but the installation process encountered an error when it got to the: "C:\windows\installer\cc8246.msi" file. The Microsoft Help service didn't have any information
on the error code. I did some checking and the file (cc8246.msi) isn't on my computer. I did search the ZIP and CAB files, too. I did a search on Microsoft.com, MSDN, Microsoft downloads, BING, and Google. None of the searches turned
up anything. I even tried looking for "cc8246.ms_" and "cc8246" on each search site. I wasn't able to find anything on this file.
I looked in my nightly system backup files, too. It wasn't in my "U:\Nightly Backup\windows\installer\" folder and a search of the backup drive revealed nothing, too. (I keep copies of deleted and updated files for 60 days.)
Apparently, I need this file to install this version of SQL Server. Does anyone have any information on this file or where I can get a copy of it?
ValiantSon

Below should help in identifying the missing cc8246.msi file from windows installer folder. You need to identify which component this
belongs and copy that from the SQL Server setup and rename it to this file.

How to uninstall software that doesn't have uninstall.exe or an .msi in the install folder?

I can uninstall the software fine by using the add/remove programs, but since we have several hundred computers I would like to script this. I am using Windows 7 Pro, and have tried with powershell version 2 & 3. The commands that I tried on
version 3 are:
$application get-ciminstance win32_product -filter "name like '%softwarename%'"
$application.uninstall()
It appears to work, I can see the object in $application before running the second command. After running the second command the object is gone, should have worked. But when I look in add/remove programs, it is still listed and the install folder is still
there. Not sure what it actually did.
After that I tried to uninstall using "wmic" commands manually. Same problem, it thinks it uninstalled, but still in Add/Remove programs.
Any suggestions about what to try next?

For that you have to ask the vendor of the software why it won't uninstall. There s functionally nothing different when using WMI or MS to uninstall.
You can also use MSI and ask for a log then look at the log file.
Call the vendor.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Scrambled icons for Windows .EXE and .MSI files in Finder.

For some reason the icons in Snow Leopard for .exe files and .msi files show up as a scrambled image. I wish there was a way to upload a screenshot. Is anyone else seeing this problem. I do have VMware Fusion installed. Not sure if that is causing the issue.
Just to be clear, the icon are scrambled in the Finder, not in any of the VMware sessions.

I'm getting the same thing. When I look at the get info information they are associated with Windows explorer in Bootcamp, so I just changed them over to be associated with VMWare Fusion, which gives me nice plain icons.
I wish there were some way to say all exe files get a certain custom icon. Then I would use the Fusion icon.

Repackaged EXE MSI Error 2343

I'm trying to repackage a Setup.exe into an MSI for an upgrade this weekend and keep running into trouble when I try to use the repackaged MSI. When I try to install it I keep getting an MSI error 2343, Specified path is empty message when I run the MSI file.
The instance that I monitored the installation for is working correctly, and there are no major differences between the original system and the one that I'm trying to test the MSI on. After turning on Installation Monitoring I have discovered the following in the logs leading up to the error.

The original monitored installation is working correctly, and I can't figure out what is missing from the MSI that is preventing it from installing. From this log I would guess something to do with the ISIS_SQLSERVER_AUTHENTICATION, but I can't find anything relevant to my product. It is an application that uses a MSSQL database on the back end and authenticates against SQL user accounts. Thank you for any direction for where to look for a resolution to this issue.

Converting EXE to MSI for Deployment

Hello,
I was wondering if anybody could recommend a free solution to convert EXE installers to MSIs for Deployment. There are some I've found, however the straight conversion hardly ever works, and I've found you need to tell the installer creator the location
of buttons to get it to create a working one. Does anybody know of any free ones, as the only one I've found that's worked has cost about $200?
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for your posting.
After researched and tested we found no Microsoft solution can convert EXE file to MSI file at present.
You can use third party tools to achieve that, but these third party tools are not tested and confirmed by Microsoft.
We provide two workarounds:
1. Contact software provider to get a MSI file.
2. Deploy Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) to deploy EXE files.
For more information please refer to following MS articles:

Error 1722 when installing Adobe Flash Player 10.1 (Active X MSI)

Hi,
I'm experiencing an issue with installing the latest Adobe Flash 10.1 (ActiveX MSI) on Windows XP.
It's coming up with error code 1722 stating...
"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: ...\InstallAX.exe, com..."
I've tried many things such as SubInACL resets, ISScript 11 installer, adobe uninstallers, manually register ocx files, using the local administrator account, changing Internet Explorer Security settings, running Proc Mon to identify the issue - to no avail -, downloading the MSI file again, running the EXE file, but I can't seem to install the player.
The real scary side to this is that it seems to me that it's too unstable for me to deploy it across the entire corporate network due to using these fixes to have the player installed.
Is anybody able to comment or assist in finding a solution to this problem.
Regards,
SG

Success!!
I found the reason why the Adobe Flash Player Active X Control wasn't installing properly was due to McAfee Virus Scan Enterprise.
The Access Protection - Anti-Spyware Standard Protection module was causing the executables (when installing) to NOT accessing specific parts of the registry to complete the installation.
I've had to make the following changes to my McAfee policies in order to allow the Adobe Flash Player Active X Control to install successfully.
Anti-Spyware Standard Protection - Protect Internet Explorer favorites and settings
Processess to exclude:-
InstallAX.exe
FlashUtil10h.exe
Uninstall_flash_player.exe
You might be able to make similar changes to your environment if you're using another product.
I hope this helps anyone who is experiencing the same issue that I was experiencing whilst trying to understand what was happening in our environment.
All the best,

MSI file installation fails on computers with logged-in restricted users

I'm trying to package Flash Player 8b for silent distribution
via Microsoft SMS. My package works correctly on computers where a
logged in user is either a local Administrator or Power user, but
fails with an error on computers where the logged in user has no
such rights. The SMS package is set to install with administrative
rights. The computers are Windows 2000 SP4 and Windows XP SP2
workstations. I only have the problem with Windows XP SP2, but
those computers are the only ones without priviledged users. I've
confirmed that computers with logged-in administrative users work
properly, like my own Windows XP machine.
The installer I'm using is
"install_flash_player_active_x.msi" and the version is "8,0,24,0".
The digital signature is dated "Friday, March 31, 2006 12:45:10
PM". I am led by other posts to believe that this is the most
current version and that I shouldn't be having these problems with
it.
The error that is reported in the log files is:
1: ISMsiServerStartup Failure, Failed to Initialize script
support, Error = 0x80070006
I'm using a Visual Basic script in my SMS package. It
attempts to run the "uninstall_flash_player.exe" uninstaller to
remove old versions, then tries to run the installer. It uses the
following command line:
install_flash_player_active_x.msi /log
%systemroot%\temp\flash_msi.log /qn allusers=2
reboot=reallysuppress
Originally I did not include the "allusers=2
reboot=reallysuppress", but I was having another error and various
Macrovision and InstallShield support sites suggested that addition
as a fix. That error was "Internal error 2103. 26".
Any ideas? Should this really be so hard to package and
distribute?

I did find a solution to this odd problem. It does seem to be
a dcom priveledges issue. I suspect the reason it isn't seen on
pre-sp2 is because Microsoft made some changes to post xp-sp2 to
tighten security. So ISSCript is called via dcom. Installsheilds
default runas is "Interactive User" somewhere between SMS client
running as user with admin rights causes this to break. I found
that if you remove the runas string it will execute in whatever
security context the program that called is running in. Since the
SMS client has full control of the machine it works. I've attached
a script that basically makes an array of dcom appid using wmi,
removes the ones that don't have the column "InstallShield
InstallDriver" in them - store those in a an array then remove the
runas line from each. I actually found this script on the
InstallShield site - I left the credits intact
- however I've already thought of a few ways to
improve on this script.
The other problem is that Flash Player 8 installs the
InstallSheild Driver version 10 on launch - which effectively
restores the runas string. So I found there's a custom action
called "EngineStartup.4F635B62_07BF_4779_B74E_D80C29D508E3" - to
disable this I simply made a transform and removed this row in the
InstallExecuteSequence table. Then it all works
Keep in mind - if your target machines do not have Install
Shield Driver 10 on them you'll need to install that in your script
before installing Flash Player 10. To do this make a transform for
isscript10.msi and remove the Registry601 row - so it does not
create the runas key on install.
Or... You could just do the install as system
- and forget this whole thing ever happened.
