Many thanks!

thanks for the correction.

Hello, Im new on the forum, i just download the msi file and i have a problem with "Adobe Shockwave Player.msi" (date 21.06.2008). I have clean install of XP Pro with integrated SP3, IE7, WMP11 and DirectX 9c (Jun 2008) Made by nLite 1.4.6. All of integrated parts are working fine, but after install Shockwave 11 form msi package, when i open IE7 on pages, where is Shockwave used, the IE7 close the window with those page. The Firefox 2.0.0.15 open that page, but in the place where shoudlbe a Shockwave object, is only empty space.

After install orginal package (11.0r458) from Adobe WEB page it open all pages corectly.

for test i use for example this url Adobe Player Test page

I was thinking what can i do with this and i resolve my problem by making a batchfile to install Shockwave:



content for path: "system32/adobe" i get from my C:\windows\system32\adobe\*.* (with all subfolders tree) - after installing orginal shockwave 11 form adobe web page ofcoz.

content for Mozilla folder i take form my C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\ and contains there 2 files:

"ShockwavePlugin.class" and "np32dsw.dll"

content of path system32 requied 4 files: msvcp71.dll, msvcr71.dll, msvcrt.dll, and
CMDOW.exe (hide window tool, antivirus software may detect a risk tool - because hi can hide a windows)

all files i put into one directory for example D:\asw11\ , create SFX RAR archive and done - an exe with Shockwave 11.0r458 instaler without any toolbars. If we dont wont cmd window with install progress, add after @echo off one line contains "system32\cmdow.exe @ HID" and done. No window are displayed when install is in progress.

DLLs for register - i check all content of adobe folder (inside system32) and all DLLs i try to register with REGSVR32.exe, the .exe files witch is runing i take from install.log of orginal Adobe Shockwave 11 installer.

all nesesery content we can also take form orginal installer from adobe - and decompress using command line with /X switch - it is build with WISE Installer.

After all that things, when clean install of XP SP3 is completed, and run my asw11.exe (the SFX archive i made contains unattended install of Adobe Shockwave Player 11.0r458) when i open IE7 or Mozilla web pages, the shockwave objects are displayed propertly.

if somebody wants ready to use *.exe installer, please write to me, also i can upload it somewhere - i dont like sites like rapidshare, and i dont have any acounts in there.

new version 11.0.0.465 is out:

http://www.computerbase.de/downloads/softw...ockwave_player/

1st of all, thanks for the download URL.
When requesting an application modification, it sure is nice to have a URL to the source.

I'm sorry it took so long to get this update done, my health is poor.
Getting out and enjoying the outdoors (canoeing, hiking) whenever I can takes president lately.

v11.0.0.465 is available on my repository.
For those that dont know, the URL to my repository is in my signature.

could you post a tuturial for selfmaking this sweet installer as you did for acrobat reader?

for acrobat reader I modify an existing msi installer as documented by the crude tutorial I posted.


I create this installer using installshield repackager. Each release is a new creation.
The above is 90% of the tutorial. the last 10% is experience.

For deploying Shockwave Player Adobe also provides an msi for corporations. You can apply for a distribution license, but you can also use the following link for the latest version. Currently the link downloads the latest 11.0.0.465 version:

Wow thank Acheron for that link, I didn't find it. Do you know of there is also a slim msi version?

If you want to avoid having problems playing some web content you should not modify the installer. You be waisting your time to save about 5 MB.

So I just want to verify, neither this shockwave installer NOR the adobe flash installer with a silent switch are SVCPACK compatible?

I havent tested svcpack installations.
You should test for yourself; the only issue MAY be failure to uninstall.

Hey Shark:

The links to flashplayer on your file repository are no longer correct.

Here are the correct urls:

ActiveX MSI
ActiveX EXE
Mozilla Plugin MSI
I can't find the URL for Mozilla Plugin in EXE format. At the time I checked, changing the .msi to .exe didn't work.

Thanks for all the work you do! I use your installers all the time! Keep it up!
