New Post: How to have client detect whether update is needed

Hi,

if you imported the updates from the Adobe Catalog, than there's a lot of package Level rules. Did you touch those?

If you're going to deploy Flash to any machine anywhay, than you should use this:
https://www.adobe.com/de/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html instead of the catalog.

Hi & Thanks for getting back to me, I extracted the msi from the cab file used in the latest update from the catalog. I see what you mean about the package level rules on my update chain from the catalog but they didn't get created when I created a new update for my "install" package.

I've created anther Flash 18 Install package using the Active-X msi install file from the url you posted and it just has the default MSIProductinstalled update level rules.

Would you be able to confirm how I create a rule to only allow installation if a registry key is not present?

Also I take it that it does not matter that I have both the update chain and the install package in the same "Adobe Systems, Inc.>Adobe Flash Player" folder in WPP?

Many thanks
Mark
