I know its possible with SMS too. SMS is a Microsoft software that you can
use to deploy software enterprise wide without users intervention. However there might be some time that you don’t
have privilege to such facilities for one reason or another. But I observed by boss do something really
neat sometimes ago. You know the meta tags usually at the top
of html pages that usually point to www.macromedia.com/blah/player??? He replaced the www.macromedia.com part of the meta tag
with a local path on the intra server such that it look like http://myserver/components/player6.cab
etc And when I try to access a page with flash
from that server from a PC that has no flash player plug in, the player will be
autoinstalled without my interference and the flash content become available immediately
on the same page. All done transparently. That’s the same kind of thing I was
hoping may be possible with FP8 J Any more ideas??? Many Thanks From: Can you elaborate how you did that? I'm not familiar
with Miscrosoft SMS. ----- Original Message ----- From: João

Flash player 8.5 auto install? With the MSI package it's possible. We deploy all our software with
Microsoft SMS silently to our domain. We did it with flash player 7 and
trying to deploy also fb8 but there are some issues related to some
software installed in our machines but you sould be able do deploy them. João

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: 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

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: 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

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: On 11/15/05, Tolulope Olonade
