With Secunia, you can choose to 'edit package' and when you choose that, you can customize the script as well as add additional files--like if you so chose... you could add an uninstaller for flash, your mms.cfg, and edit the jscript so that it runs that uninstaller first, then the install, and drops the .cfg file.
Of course, that all sounds simple and easy when I state it like that--but it's basically you scripting a solution. Another thought might be to ask Secunia if they can create that package wizard for you, with those options available. That said... I haven't done that for Flash Player via Secunia. For Flash, what we have been doing is just the straight-up flash .cab from Adobe, through SCUP. and I have (of course, being that I love Compliance Settings) a ConfigItem to create the mms.cfg if it doesn't exist. I never thought about running a flash uninstaller first--maybe our environment doesn't need that but your environment does? don't know...

We use SCCM 2012 R2 now, and I could just create a package that includes running the Flash uninstaller first then run the latest installer created by Secunia and then copy over the proper mms.cfg file, but I was hoping for a more automated feature. I know Adobe does not make their products fun or easy. I believe I read that using the Adobe MSI does in fact uninstall flash as part of it’s install… Thanks, Kevin Johnston
