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!

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??? Many

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

[flexcoders] 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

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:
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 -----

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

[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 -----

[flexcoders] Flash player 8.5 auto

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 doesnt have flash player 8.5 installed I have the installable
of flashplayer 8.5 placed on the server cause I dont 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
