Here's the silent installers for the Adobe Flash Player 9 for IE and Firefox. Uninstalling the Firefox plugin is missing, since Adobe's uninstall_flash_player.exe removes both plugins, which is not our goal here. If you want to install a newer version (this is for 9.0.16.0), don't forget to change the value in the 'check type' tag. For downloading the .msi version (for the IE ActiveX control), Adobe has an easy registration procedure, but if you smart enough, you can find out how to download without registration :)

This is a silent installer for Adobe Flash Player.

There are versions of Adobe Flash Player for Internet Explorer and for Mozilla Firefox.

Adobe Flash Player for Firefox should be installed after Firefox is installed - and hence the Firefox installer should have a higher priority (or set a dependency).

This is an Adobe Flash Player for Mozilla Firefox installer:

<package
 id="flashplayerfirefox"
 name="Flash Player Firefox"
 revision="1"
 reboot="false"
 priority="0">

 <check type="file" condition="exists" path="%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\NPSWF32.dll" />

 <install cmd='%SOFTWARE%\Flash_Firefox\flashplayer7installer.exe /S' />

</package>

This is an Adobe Flash Player for Internet Explorer installer:

<package
 id="flashplayerie"
 name="Flash Player IE"
 revision="1"
 reboot="false"
 priority="0">

  <check type="file" condition="exists" path="%WINDIR%\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash.ocx" />

  <install cmd='%SOFTWARE%\Flash_IE\flashplayer7_winax.exe /Q' />

</package>
