This switchless installer has NO google-toolbar or IE popup or Norton bs.
Also available are separate firefox and Opera plugin installers if required.



The Flash Installer was discontinued because the original installers now accept /Silent

Are you interested in making a version of SW10 for Win2K? Else, just tell me what needs to be done so I can incorporate a Win2K-only version into the MultiCompiler utility.

Until a few moments ago, i didnt know macromedia released msi installers for these. The MSI's i used are created by me. I have no idea what a Win2K version would require. Can Win2K install an MSI? if so, possibly all i need to do is change from a /passive switch to /qb
I have no idea what a MultiCompiler utility is.

The updated file version 8.0.24 is Win2k compatible

shark

Thanks Shark007, I will give it a try soon.

Shark:

I was referring to the "Windows" folder inside your package. On Win2K, it's usually called "WINNT" except when upgrading from Win9x (or when changing it with an unattend).

MultiCompiler = this

Try the provided file. The 'windows' path isnt hardcoded in the MSI installer.

shark

thanx goes to Shark007

Updated the Flash Player to 8.0.24

ERROR during install :

EROR 1911 could not register type library for file
c:\windows\system32\macromed\flash\flash8a.ocx

I cant recreate that error on my existing systems, or in vmware. I realize you use a dutch system. There is a high probability that this is a language issue. I'm removing the Multilingual disignation.

shark

Yes , i use a dutch xp
Let me know when its up , and i will test again for you.

Thank You for fixing a problem Ive had for a month now! Sites kept saying I needed to install flash player and Macromedia said it was installed! Your installer fixed me right up! Thanks again and 2 thumbs way up! Joe

the Macromedia Shockwave player link is down any chance of a repost?

Shockwave Player has been updated to version 10.1.1.16

shark

I am aware that the shockwave slim and full use the /s switch.

Flash player still with error
For al the non english users try this one :
http://rapidshare.de/files/18211220/flash8.exe.html
Its a bit bigger then Sharks , but no errors.


Sorry shark , but it just dont work

Mine is from macromedia site , its called a .MSI installer.
And its a SWITCHLESS installer , so no need for al that scripts etc.

See topic title :



SWITCHLESS

Mine is silent

btw new player is out ( still beta )

Macromedia Flash Player v9.0.0.296 beta for Internet Explorer

Macromedia Flash Player v9.0.0.296 beta for Firefox & Opera

yes, you can use the /qn switch on my installer
ummmm, no, that's your installer. Mine works from svcpack, yours will fail uninstallation if used from svcpack. Although, if you note that it must be installed after 1st boot (runounceex), it will uninstall properly.
ummmm, no, mine isnt silent, it's switchless, yours is yours, and it isnt the same as mine. It may contain the same files as mine, but it doesnt have the same functionality.

shark

Attn: Shark

Many thanks for posting your work!

I'm curious about two things:

There is no confirmation windows saying that the files are installed (although they are). Was this by design?

The installers don't work in Windows 98. I get a error message "7-zip, unable to create install folder". What's going on here?

Updated Shockwave Player to 10.1.3.18

shark

thanks shark007 - you know this will need updating for many years to come

The shockwave installer was UPDATED August 15, 2006. - While using CrapCleaner i noticed missing registry entries causing it to want to delete several of the shockwave entries.

shark

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE

I have removed the svcpack compatibility designation.
The installer has not changed but due to issues i've discovered, this installer must be used after 1st boot. My apologies to those affected.

shark

Still can't find a working link to an installation of the shockwave player without Google, Yahoo, Autoupdate, etc. If there isn't a installer I will try to make an MSI by myself...

Please let me know.

URL updated, see 1st post or use the link in my signature.

shark

GREAT GREAT GREAT

Thanks shark!!!

GREAT!!

But.. For our distribution I need the MSI. I cannot call the executable with a custom action within another MSI because the swInstaller.exe will extract to an MSI. I Believe that windows installer cannot handle 2 MSI's at the same time...

Do you also have the MSI or is there a way to "extract" the MSI from the swInstaller.exe?

no, but i can make you one ... get it from my repository

shark

Shark, Thanx a lot I will test the MSI. If there are some issues, I'll let you know...

Shockwave player updated to 10.1.4.20

This version has AutoUpdate enabled by default and i havent found a way to turn this off other than visiting this page at ADOBE. To turn it off, right click on the shockwave video and choose 'properties'.

I know there are several registry settings for autoupdate but they dont seem to affect the setting i suggested above.

shark

the key you are searching for is here

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Macromedia\Shockwave 10\AutoUpdate

change the value default from "y" to "n"

I'm aware this key exists, but it doesn't turn off the situation i described earlier.

shark

i used an registry tool which looks for chaned keys and this one was the only one which is changed when i turn of the autoupdate like you sayed! and i tested it by changing it back some times and its working for me

odd, it doesn't change the registry values here when i turn it off through the webpage as descibed earlier.

shark

Sereby, you were correct. i was looking at the wrong key. I was looking in HKLM.

watch my repository for an (updated) file with this turned off by default.

This shockwave installer IS NOT svcpack compatible. Although it installs and functions fine, 5 active-x issues show up in crapcleaner from an svcpack install. When installing this through runonceex etc., these issues are nonexistent.

shark

If you use my Flash files/plugins they were updated to version 9.0.18.60 BETA

shark

I get the following error with your latest flashfiles :







After replace them again with the original files, the error is gone.

yep, the newer files are crap. Crashes IE in Vista too.
I put the older files back up on my site.

shark

9.0.21.75 beta released



http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer9.html

After the last BETA release causing problems for so many users,
i won't be updating the files on my site untill it goes final.

This doesnt mean i wont test the files personally, and i thank you for posting a url.

shark

Can i install
swInstaller on Win98SE?

As soon as you test it and report back here, we'll all know the answer ....

shark

I just did and it don't so can you add support please.

I'm sorry, but this isnt going to happen.
I suggest you contact Adobe Technical Support.

The main reason it failed is that my installer is based on an MSI which i created.
Win98SE doesnt support MSI installers natively.

Are you aware M$ doesn't even support WindowsXP SP1 anymore?

shark

And vista is on his way

The Flash files were UPDATED November 15. 2006 - 9.0.28 - Final

shark

Thanks for the updates mate.

Hi,
in the current FlashInstaller9028 release occurs the following error:

File "C:\WINNT\system32\Macromed\Flas" (or one of it's components) not found.
(tranlated from German)

This error comes only once after the first reboot before desktop loads.
After deinstalling/installing it comes once again.
Unfortunately I cannot look into your package to see what your Installer is doing.

I use W2k german.

That installer is NOT Windows 2000 compatible. sorry.
I will look into compatibility, if i can modify it for you, i will PM you.

[EDIT] PM sent.
