→Why not use the MSI version?: MSI versions work better for me.
--[[User:Dad|DaD]] 11:24, 11 June 2010 (CEST)
My vote goes to the MSI version too. For the EXE installers I couldn't find out a working command line switch for the silent installation, neither /s nor /install. The same for the uninstallation via the executables in the ''%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\Macromed\Flash\'' directory.
So I tried the MSI versions and they worked as expected at the first try; what's more, uninstallation works via the GUID string, and this makes the <remove> command a single liner without the need to check in the ''%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\'' or ''%SYSTEMROOT%\SysWOW64\''.
My package definitions are:
<source lang="xml">
<package id="flash_101_firefox" name="Flash Player 10.1 Firefox, MSI version" revision="1" reboot="false" priority="10">
<check type="file" condition="versionequalto" path="%WINDIR%\system32\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32.dll" value="10.1.53.64"/>
<install cmd="msiexec /qn /i %SOFTWARE%\flash\install_flash_player_10_plugin.msi"/>
<upgrade cmd="msiexec /qn /i %SOFTWARE%\flash\install_flash_player_10_plugin.msi"/>
<remove cmd="msiexec.exe /qn /X {1C5EC8F6-5C5F-421F-85BE-919B5D0CAD4C}"/>
</package>
<package id="flash_101_ie" name="Flash Player 10.1 IE, MSI version" revision="1" reboot="false" priority="10">

<install cmd="msiexec /qn /i %SOFTWARE%\flash\install_flash_player_10_active_x.msi"/>
