Prevent automatic update of Flash
</source>
== Disable Automatic Update dialog in Adobe Flash Player 10 (and 9) ==
It seems that Flash checks in to the mother ship Adobe at regular bases to check if there is an update available. And if so, it presents the user with a dialog asking if he wants to upgrade Flash to the latest version, which is what we don't want when the software is managed by WPKG.
To prevent this from happening, you can do the following:
* create a file named "mms.cfg" (if you don't already have it for other flash settings)
* add an entry in this file: AutoUpdateDisable=1
* this file now has to be added to the FlashPlayer installation directory during the install of the package. You can do this by just plain copying the file into that directory. Add the next lines to your Flash package:
Right after the installation:
<source lang="xml">
<install cmd='%comspec% /c copy /y /v "%SOFTWARE%\FlashPlayer\mms.cfg" %WINDIR%\system32\Macromed\Flash\' />
</source>
Right after the upgrade:
<source lang="xml">
<upgrade cmd='%comspec% /c copy /y /v "%SOFTWARE%\FlashPlayer\mms.cfg" %WINDIR%\system32\Macromed\Flash\' />
</source>
Right before the uninstall:
<source lang="xml">
<remove cmd='%comspec% /c del /f /q "%SOFTWARE%\FlashPlayer\mms.cfg"' />
</source>
Or you could create a separate package for this setting.
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?
