Install Adobe Flash Player 18 ActiveX and Plugin Silently using SCCM

The following process has been tested and confirmed as working with Adobe Flash Player 18.x and SCCM R2.

It does the following tasks:

• Installs Flash Player ActiveX (For Internet Explorer) silently
• Installs Flash Player Plugin (For Firefox) silently
• Disable Update Checking / Autoupdate

Please Note:

The autoupdate option from the control panel may display as enabled. This setting is set on a per user basis. This method disables the update option at a system level and will override this setting.

1. Download the latest ActiveX from http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_player_18_active_x.msi
2. Download the latest Plugin from http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_player_18_plugin.msi
3. Create a text file called install.cmd and copy in the following information

@echo off
cls
echo --------------------------------------------------------
echo .
echo . Installing Adobe Flash Player 18 - Please Wait
echo . (This window will close once installed)

4. Create a text file called mms.cfg and copy in the following information

AutoUpdateInterval=0 AutoUpdateDisable=1

5. Copy the two installer files, mms.cfg and install.cmd to your software package share
6. You can now create your SCCM package or deploy the software by using install.cmd.
