Dear Fellow Absentee Installers,

A recalcitrant Flash Player install prompt during Macromedia Studio MX 2004 setup is the last remaining obstacle in my comprehensive unattended Windows installation.

I use a previously created setup.iss file and the following command to install the full suite:

...StudioMX2004\fscommand\setup.exe -s

Installshield proceeds smoothly and silently through the various apps until reaching the Flash MX 2004 setup, at which point the install pauses and prompts the user as to whether they want to install the Flash Player. Another member who has encountered the same problem while installing only Dreamweaver has posted an image of the offending prompt in the follwoing MSFN thread:

Flash Player Install Prompt Interrupts Macromedia Studio Silent Installation

My first attempt at a solution was to install the Flash Player prior to installing Macromedia Studio. However, I still recieved the prompt to install the player during Flash MX setup.

Any suggestions?

maybe you could try killing it?
or would that kill the whole installation?

Killing it? Hmm, I doubt I could kill the prompt without killing the entire install process. If anyone can correct me on this, please do.

Is there any other way to answer or bypass this prompt automatically?

Hep! Hep me!
