New Post: Flash Install / Uninstall guide

Hi Folks!

Just want do give my solution free for discussion. What do you think?

Files needed:

flash_update.bat
mms.cfg
install_flash_player_21_active_x.msi

flash_update.bat

REM kill all running browsers

taskkill /IM firefox* /f
taskkill /IM iexplore* /f

REM Remove all Flash Version < Version 21
wmic product where "name like 'Adobe Flash Player %% ActiveX' and version < '21'" call uninstall

REM install new Flash version
install_flash_player_21_active_x.msi /qn

REM copy config file for Flash
copy mms.cfg %WINDIR%\System32\Macromed\Flash\ /Y
copy mms.cfg %WINDIR%\SysWow64\Macromed\Flash\ /Y

mmc.cfg

SilentAutoUpdateEnable=0
AutoUpdateDisable=1

Wsus Package Publisher
Just create a Custom Update Package and use "Allow to execute a file".

Path to the File:

flash_update.bat

Parameters:

> %WINDIR%\temp\flash.log

This will create a Logfile on c:\Windows\temp\flash.log with the output of the cmd box

In the next Window just add all these files to the dialogue, add the ProgramID as mentioned in the WSUSPP doku.

You can add extra lines to the flash_update.bat to remove and install the plugin version for Chrome and FireFox if you want. Or create an additional Package for these.


This works for me on Windows 7 Professional.

Any thoughts?
