Hi Dimitrios,
I have experience with NSIS and Flash in the past. The greatest asset at
your disposal is reading the NSIS docs to wrap your head around a language
that is far from AS2. To me, it looked/felt like VB or Assembly. The other
great asset is the Nullsoft forums which chances are someone else has
probably asked the same question and there already is an answer.
Here is an excerpt of a bigger script where upon start up, it will check
if
they have the player installed when they try to install the desktop
app....
Function .onInit
Push $R0
ClearErrors
ReadRegStr $R0 HKCR "CLSID\{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000}" ""
IfErrors flash_NOT_installed
; Skip to 'flash_installed' label
Goto flash_installed
flash_NOT_installed:
; Prompt User To Install Flash Plugin
MessageBox MB_ICONINFORMATION|MB_OK "This program requires the Adobe
Flash
Player. Before using $(^Name), please download and install the latest
version at http://www.adobe.com";
flash_installed:
FunctionEnd
Good luck!

Hello John,
Thanks for your reply.
NSIS is the NullSoft installer.
This is for web distribution. I just needed a way
to detect if the user has the latest Flash Player installed
and if not he would be taken to the adobe site to download.
I just didn't have a clue about how NSIS works and I thought
someone here may have used it for the same purpose I have.
I'll probably find a programmer experienced in NSIS to help me.
Searching for NSIS forums again.
Thanks
Dimitrios

I need to create an installer for flash player 8.
Is there a tutorial or a full script for this?
It has to be NSIS installer.
Your note doesn't say what "NSIS" means (and I'm not up to a web search
at the moment), but I do know the following:
(a) for web distribution, use the Adobe site... no multiple points on
the WWW
(b) for non-web distribution, like intranets or CDs, then you need the
free license for distribution anyway (so we have a list of legit
requests), and this includes mass installation utilities.
