thanks a lot

HI Shark guy,

Do u know or possess any codec pack for Windows XP Professional service pack 2? I recently installed XP and need some codecs to play video and music... the K Lite XP pack seems to change all my icons into the same picture which I don't want!

Klite packs supports
-makeunattended
switch to made a custom installer.
There is a section with file type assoc. for Media Player Classic or Windows Media Player. Check or uncheck
what you want and build the installer.

@curiousboy - Check out Shark007's Vista Codec Pack.

Shockwave Player 10.3.0.24 is now availlable for download on Adobe's site.
Can you make a new pack with this installer?

you can always install it with /S

I know, but Shark's installer is better.

use /S while Shark007 does his thing...

Elajua stop bumping this thread. I know the switch for Wise installer.

i didn't meant to.

i just stated the people can use a silent switch if they want to. Besides, not everyone knows about silent switches.

We have to wait until shark007 makes an updated installer for the new version.

It was updated 2 weeks ago.


shark

But files version in your installer is still 10.2.0.23

Shark good job man!!! But a question, i realize and see that this installer not install the shockwave properly on my winxp copy...ie7 doesn't recognize it..

Put this on my cmd file:

ECHO.
ECHO [SHOCKWAVE]
ECHO wait...
start /wait %systemdrive%\install\swInstaller.exe
ECHO done!

it's ok like this?

it seems I screwed up the latest release. I accidently monitored an upgrade install when creating the current release so I've taken it offline until I am able to upload a new file. new files uploaded to the MAIN repository only. it is also SVCPACK compatible now.


yes that will work just fine.


shark

I've got this error when I tried to download the new Shockwave installer:

i didn't see the new version number in the repository, but nevermind.
i will grab it when it is available again.

thanks.

download URL has been fixed.

I'm sorry to those inconvenienced.

thanx a lot but why when i try to download the shockwave plugin for firefox i receive an exe file with the icon of an html page? Don't work for me:(

In my signature are 2 repository URL's.

I've only uploaded the corrected files to the MAIN repository. The MIRROR does not have the updated files yet.

To those that don't already know, I use dialup, connect @ 2.6kps, and it is extremely slow...
for instance, a 1MB file is a 15min file transfer experience...

Nothing wrong there. If you unpack the .exe you will find a dll file inside.
Thanks Shark for the updated files.

Thank you very much shark! As for the speed = Danm thats slow

The Adobe Shockwave Player v10.3.0.24 from the Adobe web site does NOT install under Windows 2000. I get "procedure [GetSystemWow64DirectoryA] not found in kernel32.dll file" error message during install, then quits. Adobe's installer is flawed, bigtime. why it doesn't work is beyond me. But I've tested it in Win98, WinME, WinXP and WinVista and found no problems with the install. I'm sending my complaints to Adobe about their shockwave player 10.3.0.24 not installing under Win2k ASAP.

Check out the Shockwave System Requirements page:
http://www.adobe.com/products/shockwavepla...nfo/systemreqs/
It mentions Win98, WinXP, Win2003, Vista but not Win2000.

I'll try Shark's shockwave installer under Win2k, if I can find it.

Ok. here was the error message I got when attempting to install Adobe Shockwave v10.3.0.24 player on Windows 2000 from the Adobe web site:

Click to view attachment

and the rest of the installation is stopped. pitiful, isn't it?

But using Shark's version of the Adobe Shockwave 10.3.024 MSI installer from his web site worked perfectly under Win2k.
Big kudos to Shark007 for making an MSI package that works, unlike what Adobe did.

I don't want to download the final switchless package.

Can any body tell me the switches or commands to be used in a batch file (NO AutoIT) to get Shockwave installed without Toolbar. It doesn't matter if there is a silent command to uninstall the Toolbar afterwards. I think closing the browser after the installation can be easily done by taskkill.exe or process.exe.

It would be nice if someone can post a sample of the batch file.

Thanks

how come you don't want it?

i remember i installed the normal setup using /Silent and it didn't install the toolbar.

Updated to version 11 - MSI for corporate use is also avaialable.


shark

If I install ShockWave Player before Opera or Firefox those registry will be written?

Did i not explain this well enough? It doesnt matter if you install the mozilla browser before or after using my shockwave installer, the plugins will be available to the browser without being installed separately. I only tested this with Firefox. If Opera needs it installed to its plugin dir, let me know and I will make a switchless installer available for opera's plugin.


shark

Thanks Shark bro

thanks. a question: does the msi accepts switches or is it switchless? i don't find any info on the repository.

Its a basic MSI accepting all msi switches.

Once again I have the need to remind people that all the provided installers found on my repository intended audience is those seeking to re-authoring thier personal installation media (msfn users). With this in mind, my installers do not deal with existing system scenario's such as upgrades etc.

To directly answer the PM query;
FOR DESKTOP INSTALLATIONS PLEASE USE THE MANUFACTURERS INSTALLER

If you're using this installer on an in use desktop system be sure you have uninstalled previous versions and deleted/removed np32dsw.dll from the mozilla browsers' \plugins folder.

thank for the answer shark. good work.

Is there a way to get this to work on Windows 2000? your 10.3.0.24 installer worked but the shockwave 11 doesn't.

Have you tried using the MSI .. it is available in the text below the exe.

The MSI didn't work either.

I get the same error: "Shockwave Error: $1,
One or more Shockwave files are missing."

my best guess for your error

at a bare minimum, windows installer 2.1 is required.
update windows installer (from microsoft, free), try again.

version 11.0.0.458 posted.

only available in MSI format.


shark

I was just wondering if it would take long for you to update the installer.

Thanks.

When I install Shockwave, using your installer, I get this:

C:\Program Files\My Company Name\My Product Name\msvcp71.dll

Is it normal for this file to be created? I had not noticed it before, but my memory could be bad on this. Should I leave it alone or can it be deleted?

Thanks for your continued work on these products. I appreciate a lot.

sam13484

Thank you for the information. it shouldnt be there and the folder(s) and file can be deleted.
The installer should be checking for an existing version in system32 and installing that file if none exists.

I'll post here again once I have uploaded an updated version.


shark

updated release posted. The issue presented above has been corrected.


shark

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.


shark

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.


shark

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:

http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/shock...l_installer.msi

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