Download Flash Player
- Uninstaller:
Adobe Flash Player 11
Starting with Flash Player 11 there is a separate download available for 64-bit Windows.
The 32-bit installer will refuse to install on 64-bit systems.
The 64-bit installer installs the 32-bit and 64-bit executables.

Disable Automatic Update dialog in Adobe Flash Player
Flash Player automatically checks with adobe.com to see if an updated version is available and if there is it presents a dialog prompting the user to upgrade. To disable this update check and prompting you can do the following:
- if it doesn't already exist, create a directory %WINDIR%\system32\Macromed\Flash\ (%WINDIR%\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash for 64-bit system)
- if it doesn't already exist, create a file there called "mms.cfg" (this file can also be used to deploy other settings)
- add an entry in this file: AutoUpdateDisable=1
This configuration can be performed by WPKG using the following:
<install cmd='%COMSPEC% /c copy /y /v "%SOFTWARE%\flash\mms.cfg" %WINDIR%\system32\Macromed\Flash\' >
<exit code="any"/>
</install>
<install cmd='%COMSPEC% /c copy /y /v "%SOFTWARE%\flash\mms.cfg" %WINDIR%\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\' >
<exit code="any"/>
</install>
<upgrade cmd='%COMSPEC% /c copy /y /v "%SOFTWARE%\flash\mms.cfg" %WINDIR%\system32\Macromed\Flash\' >
<exit code="any"/>
</upgrade>
<upgrade cmd='%COMSPEC% /c copy /y /v "%SOFTWARE%\flash\mms.cfg" %WINDIR%\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\' >
<exit code="any"/>
</upgrade>
<remove cmd='%COMSPEC% /c del /s /q "%WINDIR%\system32\Macromed\Flash\mms.cfg"' >
<exit code="0" />
<exit code="1" /> <!-- if file does not exist -->
</remove>
<remove cmd='%COMSPEC% /c del /s /q "%WINDIR%\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\mms.cfg"' >
<exit code="0" />
<exit code="1" /> <!-- if file does not exist -->
</remove>
Either you can deploy this using WPKG as part of the Flash Player installer (Section 1.1 or 1.2), or create a separate package for this setting which would allow you to deploy updates to this file separately to the Flash Player itself.
This file will prevent current and older versions of Flash from auto-updating.

Adobe Flash Player 9.0.246.0 for Firefox
Installer packaged as an executable, installs as a plugin. Sometimes it is upgraded only on the second run of WPKG, it must be a timing issue between installing over previous version and checking conditions.
<package id="flashplayerfirefox" name="Adobe Flash Player for Firefox" revision="1" reboot="false" priority="0">
<depends package-id="firefox"/>
<check type="file" condition="versiongreaterorequal" path="%WINDIR%\system32\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32.dll" value="9.0.246.0"/>

<upgrade cmd='%SOFTWARE%\Flash\install_flash_player.exe /S' />
<remove cmd='%WINDIR%\system32\Macromed\Flash\uninstall_plugin.exe /S'/>
</package>
If you use WPKG whilst logged in then it's good to kill the Firefox application process before installing Flash Player, since the installer won't work with the browser running. To do this add this to the WPKG code:
<install cmd="taskkill /F /IM Firefox.exe">
<exit code="0" />
<exit code="128" />
</install>
And of course:
<upgrade cmd="taskkill /F /IM Firefox.exe">
<exit code="0" />
<exit code="128" />
</upgrade>
Adobe Flash Player 9.0.246.0 for Internet Explorer
Presumably the Internet Explorer version has the same installation/removal/upgrade syntax as the plugin version above, but the following code has not been tested.
<package id="flashplayeractivex" name="ActiveX Flash Player" revision="20090730" reboot="false" priority="0">
