Cleanup
Note: This probably also works for older versions of Flash (<9), but I believe the mms.cfg file then has to be copied to the Windows\system32 directory?

=== 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.

 === 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.

== 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:
 
<source lang="xml">
<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"/>
</source>

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 [[Firefox|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:'''
 
<source lang="xml">
<package
id="flashplayerfirefox"
name="Flash Player Firefox"
revision="1"
reboot="false"

<check type="file" condition="exists" path="%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\NPSWF32.dll" />
<install cmd='%SOFTWARE%\Flash_Firefox\flashplayer7installer.exe /S' />
</package>
</source>
 
'''This is an Adobe Flash Player for Internet Explorer installer:'''
 
<source lang="xml">
<package
