It would be smart to have the script point to an internally verified.
DOWNLOAD FLASH PLAYER FOR MAC 2016 UPDATE
I've always had the intention to have it notify me when an update is available and then have to manually approve it. I think the only time I have had to update it was to fix a screen-scraping issue when adobe changed the page. While this hasn't broken yet, I've been watching it to make sure that I don't run into any unexpected issues.

I copied this script from somewhere, modified it a little and have a weekly policy scoped to machines that updates flash using this script. This is probably bad form given the opinions of the adobe flashplayer updates recently. We just push it out as part of our package for good measure. If you decide not to deploy a mms.cfg file, just edit out the line in the script above that would be calling that install.Įdit: you could of course deploy this file with auto update turned off if that's what you want, and would be more important than the former use, since the default setting is to have it on anyway.

It uses Adobe's admittedly wacky but effective install process so all the pieces get put in place properly. The above will install Flash and then the configuration package to set auto update on, and finally clean up the folder in /tmp/. usr/sbin/installer -pkg /private/tmp/FlashPlayer/FlashPlayer_ -target / private/tmp/FlashPlayer/Install Adobe Flash Player.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Flash Player Install Manager -install You should have "Install Adobe Flash Player.app" and "mms.cfg" (or whatever you named it) in the list under /private/tmp/FlashPlayer/Ħ- Create a post install script in your Composer package with these contents: #!/bin/sh (This file sets the auto update prefs)Ĥb- Copy the above pkg install into /private/tmp/FlashPlayer/ĥ- Create a new Composer package (blank) and drag the 2 files from above into the window. The above entry makes the installer invisible, as in no Dock icon, so you can deploy it silently (as long as someone is logged in)ģ- Copy the modified "Install Adobe Flash Player.app" into the /private/tmp/FlashPlayer/ folderĤa- (Optional step): Set Flash to auto-update on a Mac with it installed and create another package that deploys the "mms.cfg" configuration into /Library/Application Support/Macromedia/ from Composer. I assume the process Don is using is basically the same:ġ- Create a folder in /private/tmp/ called "FlashPlayer"Ģ - Edit the "Install Adobe Flash Player.app"'s ist file (inside /Contents/) by adding the following to the end: NSUIElement This is the way we deploy the Flash plug-in.
