Adobe Flash Player 11.3

Version mismatch

As of late June, Adobe's ActiveX and Plugin MSIs have different minor versions; the MSIE package ends in .257 and the Firefox version ends in .262. The reason for this is an out-of-cycle FF patch to fix an urgent isse [1].

The solution for this is probably to split it into two sub-packages and set up a depends to flash-plugin-combined.

Starting with Flash Player 11.3, Adobe have combined x86 and x64 in to the same installer.

Adobe Flash Player 10

Flash Player 10 is still supported with security updates, the most recent being 10.3.183.11.

The latest version of the 10.x series is no longer available from http://www.adobe.com/special/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html, that version is 10.3.183.11. To get 10.3.183.11 you have to either go to http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and unzip fp_10.3.183.11_archive.zip to get flashplayer10_3r183_11_win.exe, which you can install in the usual way, or manually upgrade from within the program.

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"/>
  <install cmd='%SOFTWARE%\Flash\install_flash_player.exe /S' />
  <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">
  <check type="file" condition="versionequalto" path="%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash9c.ocx" value="9.0.246.0"/>
  <install cmd='%SOFTWARE%\Flash\install_flash_player_ax.exe /S' />
  <upgrade cmd='%SOFTWARE%\Flash\install_flash_player_ax.exe /S' />
  <remove cmd='%COMSPEC% /C if exist "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\Macromed\Flash\uninstall_activeX.exe" "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\Macromed\Flash\uninstall_activeX.exe" /S'/>
