RE: [flexcoders] Flash player 8.5 auto install?
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 dont 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. Thats the same kind of thing I was hoping may be possible with FP8 J Any more ideas???

RE: [flexcoders] Flash player 8.5 auto install?
In Flex 1.5 this was a built-in capability of the server if you wanted it configured. It should be possible too with the Flex 2 server once that is released (or you can just adjust the tags yourself in the wrapper as youve seen).

Ok, I'm obviously out of my league if you all are sneaking ActiveX controls on my machine... sorry man, never seen that, but apparently it is possible! - Original Message - From: Tolulope Olonade To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, November 16, 2005 11:26 AM Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Flash player 8.5 auto install? 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 dont 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. Thats the same kind of thing I was hoping may be possible with FP8 J Any more ideas???
