See he did something similar to this:

 

 <object classid="" id="obj1" codebase="">http://intranet/apps/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" border="0" width="430" height="263">
            <param name="movie" value="images/ccare.swf">
            <param name="quality" value="High">
            <embed src="" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" name="obj1" width="430" height="263" quality="High"></object>

 

 

Not even in the meta heads but the codebase of the flash object component…

Can you elaborate how you did that?  I'm not familiar with Miscrosoft SMS.

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.

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?

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.

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…

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.

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..

Dunno about auto download.  It's available here:
