Adobe Flash Player 9.0.124.0 for Firefox

You are encouraged to upgrade for security reasons: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb08-11.html.

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="9.0.124.0"/>
  <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>

It's good to kill Firefox application process before installing, since the installer won't work with browser running. To do this add to 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 9.0.124.0 for Internet Explorer

You are encouraged to upgrade for security reasons: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb08-11.html.

Installer packaged as .msi, installs as an ActiveX. You can download it from http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_player_active_x.msi - make sure you comply with the license: http://www.adobe.com/licensing/distribution/.

The line "Adobe Flash Player 9 ActiveX" in Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs doesn't show any minor version, so both this line and the detailed ocx's file version have to be checked with a logical and condition. 

<package id="flashplayerie" name="Adobe Flash Player for Internet Explorer" revision="1" reboot="false" priority="0">
  <check type="logical" condition="and">
    <check type="file" condition="versiongreaterorequal" path="%WINDIR%\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash9f.ocx" value="9.0.124.0"/>
    <check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="Adobe Flash Player 9 ActiveX"/>
  </check>
  <install cmd='msiexec /q /i %SOFTWARE%\Flash\install_flash_player_active_x.msi'>
    <exit code="3010" reboot="true" />
  </install>
  <upgrade cmd='msiexec /q /i %SOFTWARE%\Flash\install_flash_player_active_x.msi'>
    <exit code="3010" reboot="true" />
  </upgrade>
  <remove cmd='MsiExec.exe /qn /X{58BAA8D0-404E-4585-9FD3-ED1BB72AC2EE}'/>

</package>

Adobe Flash Player 9.0.115.0 for Internet Explorer

Installer packaged as .msi, installs as an ActiveX. The line "Adobe Flash Player 9 ActiveX" in Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs doesn't show any minor version, so both this line and the detailed ocx's file version have to be checked with a logical and condition. 

<package id="flashplayerie" name="Adobe Flash Player for Internet Explorer" revision="1" reboot="false" priority="0">

</package>


Adobe Flash Player 9.0.47.0 for Firefox

Installer packaged as an executable, installs as a plugin. Didn't test if the uninstall_plugin.exe in the remove line removes both this and Internet Explorer Flash Player ActiveX. 

<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="9.0.47.0"/>
  <install cmd='%SOFTWARE%\Flash\install_flash_player /S' />
  <upgrade cmd='%SOFTWARE%\Flash\install_flash_player /S' />
  <remove cmd='%WINDIR%\system32\Macromed\Flash\uninstall_plugin.exe /S'/>
</package>

Adobe Flash Player 9.0.47.0 for Internet Explorer

Installer packaged as .msi, installs as an ActiveX. The line "Adobe Flash Player 9 ActiveX" in Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs doesn't show any minor version, so both this line and the detailed ocx's file version have to be checked with a logical and condition. 

<package id="flashplayerie" name="Adobe Flash Player for Internet Explorer" revision="1" reboot="false" priority="0">
  <check type="logical" condition="and">
    <check type="file" condition="versiongreaterorequal" path="%WINDIR%\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash9d.ocx" value="9.0.47.0"/>
    <check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="Adobe Flash Player 9 ActiveX"/>
  </check>
  <install cmd='msiexec /q /i %SOFTWARE%\Flash\install_flash_player_active_x.msi'>
    <exit code="3010" reboot="true" />
  </install>
  <upgrade cmd='msiexec /q /i %SOFTWARE%\Flash\install_flash_player_active_x.msi'>
    <exit code="3010" reboot="true" />
  </upgrade>
  <remove cmd='MsiExec.exe /qn /X{786547F9-59BB-4FA3-B2D8-327FF1F14870}'/>
</package>


Older versions

Note: Recent versions of Flash for Firefox seem to install in a different directory than indicated below. You may need to change the check to: 

<check type="file" condition="versiongreaterorequal" path="%WINDIR%\system32\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32.dll" value="9.0.45.0"/>

<check type="file" condition="versiongreaterorequal" path="%WINDIR%\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash9c.ocx" value="9.0.45.0"/>


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 :) 

<package
   id="flashplayerfirefox"
   name="Flash Player Firefox"

   reboot="false"
   priority="0">
 
   <depends package-id="firefox"/>

   <install cmd='%SOFTWARE%\Flash\install_flash_player /S' />
   <upgrade cmd='%SOFTWARE%\Flash\install_flash_player /S' />

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>
