Nope.   ----- Original Message ----- From: Tolulope Olonade To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, November 16, 2005 10:36 AM Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Flash player 8.5 auto install? Just one more question. Is it possible such that the installation takes place silently without the user having to manually click on an exe file to launch the installation process??? Can it be done silently, transparently without the users intervention?     From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of JesterXL Sent: 16 November 2005 03:58 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Flash player 8.5 auto install?   After the release of the player?  Heck yeah, they always do.  Although, I believe it's either an .exe, .msi, or ActiveX control, not a .cab, but you can still just link the user to it to install on your corporate intranet.   ----- Original Message ----- From: Tolulope Olonade To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, November 16, 2005 2:35 AM Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Flash player 8.5 auto install?   But hopefully after the final release of the player. Will macromedia make available the installable .cab file that can auto install for people like me that want to deploy it on the company intranet? That will be even make the flex platform more attractive for deployment.   Thanks Jester Manish n everybody   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of JesterXL Sent: 15 November 2005 06:09 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Flash player 8.5 auto install?   You can't because of licensing, even with Flash Player 8 and below.   If you want, you can deploy the Flash Player installation exe to a company Intranet, or on a CD-ROM, but on the internet, you'll either have to point your user to Macromedia.com, have faith in the CAB file updating in IE, or utilize Express Install which is a combo of the above + Flash Player 6.0.64.0's install ability.   Because 8.5 is alpha, you can't even do that because Macromedia, thankfully, hasn't made it installable from the internet; you have to download it from labs.macromedia.com.   ----- Original Message ----- From: Tolulope Olonade To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, November 15, 2005 11:36 AM Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Flash player 8.5 auto install?   Ok Lemme rephrase. Here is what I mean. Lets say I develop a flex 2 application. Flex 2 requires flash player 8.5 I have the solution deployed on http://helloworldserver/quickstart.swf User A clicks the link but he doesn’t have flash player 8.5 installed I have the installable of flashplayer 8.5 placed on the server cause I don’t want the user to have to connect to the internet for flashplayer 8.5 download.   So, how do I make the flashplayer 8.5 available on http://helloworldserver  auto deployed unto the connecting machine ?   Many Thanks..   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Manish Jethani Sent: 15 November 2005 04:26 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Flash player 8.5 auto install?   On 11/15/05, Tolulope Olonade <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >  Can anybody show me how to make Flash 8.5 player auto download for installation to a clients machine in case he doesn't have flash player installed or he is running an earlier version of the player?
