Adobe Flash Player Packaging Guide

Adobe Flash Player 

Guide works with current version 18.0.0.194.


There are two versions of Adobe Flash Player

  1.   Flash Player Plugin this is for Chrome and Firefox
  2.   Flash player ActiveX this is for IE
To download Flash go to http://www.adobe.com/au/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
Select the version you would like to download

In this case I am downloading the MSI for IE, save it a folder:-

Next you will need to create a mmc.cfg file to disable autoupdates for Adobe Flash 16.0 this will need to be placed in %WINDIR%\System32\Macromed\Flash or %WINDIR%\SysWow64\Macromed\Flash

The MMC.CFG should contain the following:-

More information on this can be found in the Admin Guide - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player_admin_guide.html

Once we have all this information we can create a MST:-

And Add the mmc.cfg file to the package (AdminStudio):-
Should now have the following files:-
View folders path to mms.cfg

Now all that is left to do is further edit the MST as you see fit:-
Property Table
Update the following

LaunchCondition Table
Remove the following

Now you are ready to deploy with the following command:-

Msiexec /i “install_flash_player_16_active_x.msi” TRANSFORMS=”install_flash_player_16_active_x.mst” /qn

Once Adobe has been installed then navigate to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ to confirm correct version has installed as below:-
If you get the correct version then everything has went to plan.

Note
Adobe Flash Plugin (for Chrome/Firefox) install is exactly the same except you will have to download the Adobe Flash Plugin MSI.

 

Commandline for Version 18.0.0.194

Plugin

msiexec.exe /q ALLUSERS=2 /m MSIBPEQY /i "install_flash_player_18_plugin.msi" TRANSFORMS="install_flash_player_18_plugin.msi" /qn

Active X

msiexec.exe /q ALLUSERS=2 /m MSIXQUON /i "install_flash_player_18_active_x.msi" TRANSFORMS="install_flash_player_18_active_x.mst" /qn

If the command is used without ALLUSERS=2 then the package deployment will hang for no reason. Alternatively this could be added to the Property table (Untested).

Link on ALLUSERS property:-

SCCM Collection Query for Deployment

select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE on SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.ResourceId = SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_R_System.OperatingSystemNameandVersion like "%Workstation 6.1%" and SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.ProductName like "%Adobe Flash Player%"

Sccm Deploying Problem Driver

Image
Sometimes drivers will not install using sccm's standard driver import so you may have to get a little crazy and create a package that will do the job instead. In this example the problem driver was for AMDA00 Interface device but should work for many other nasty drivers.  Steps to follow to solve the wee issue:- 1. Download driver from windows catalogue if possible, if not what you have will be fine. 2. Import driver manually through compmgmt.msc and selecting to point to driver file manually. 3. Grab driver folder from driverstore in Windows\System32\Driverstore (this will be the new folder by date) 4. Copy driver folder from driverstore to a safe place and delete the driver folder from the driver store. 5. Uninstall driver for problem device so you can test uninstalling and re-installing the driver. 6. Use the following command to install the driver again from the folder you put in a safe place. Pnpuntil.exe /a /i path to .inf file If this works ...

Image
In order to deploy AutoDesk Trueview 2012 for windows 7 you will need to download the source from http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/pc/index?siteID=123112&id=9078813. Once you have downloaded the setup files then extract them to your SCCM server using 7 zip.Should look something like below minus the Autodesk.Bat.  Once you have done this make sure you have all the required components on your machine to make it possible to install Trueview 2012. If you dont then download the components you need, in my case I required .Net 4.0. I downloaded the dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe file and added to my Trueview package under the folder "3rdParty\NET\4\wcu\dotNetFramework\dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64" You now have all the components you need to complete the install, all that is left to do is create a .bat file to run the .Net 4.0 component then the actual Trueview 2012 install. Below is the command i used within my AutoDesk.Bat:- "3rdParty\NET\4\wcu\dotNetFramework\dotNetF...
