Adobe Flash install problem

[gatortom]

Hello All,

 

Before I get to my problem I just gotta say I love this site. It is very educational and helpful.

 

So today I installed the Adobe Flashplayer 11.7.700.169 with SCCM 2012. I installed both the Active X and Plugin versions as SCCM Applications by using the MSI files I downloaded from Adobe here http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html . Both were installed and show up in Add/Remove programs with the correct version number.

 

But when I point the browser to a site that uses flashplayer, none can be detected. If I follow the link provided by the website to adobe's web site and manually install flashplayer, then it works. After that, I see two copies of it in Add/Remove Programs, both with the same version number. The only thing I noticed different, is that the one pushed out from my SCCM 2012 server is 17 MB's and the one from the manual install is 6 MBs.

 

So it seems like SCCM did its job and installed the program. But then why can't it be detected? And why does it show up twice after a manual install?

I have installed Flashplayer several times before, without a problem and have pushed out other programs also.

 

Has anyone else seen or had this problem? Any suggestions on what I may have done wrong?

 

Thanks!

Have you tried pushing out the exe installer instead?

[gatortom]

No - but I will if I can't figure out why this happened.

Thats what I use and it is 6mb in size and installs and funtions properly!

Can I ask how you got it to install? Whether I use the exe or msi file, I continue to have problems where it's looking for user interaction. Thanks.

What silent switch are you using with the execution of the flashplayer.exe?

You are deploying it with a silent switch so that it does not require user interaction?

I was trying other switches with the msi file and the -install switch with the exe. I found on another site that someone created an install.cmd file that had the install command within in. I finally got it to run that way. Thanks!
