You need a distribution license from Adobe. Piece of cake. Flash comes in nice MSI's too: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html As for Java, make sure QuickStart is disabled as a service (It will hang the install!). How to get MSI's for Java: http://java.com/en/download/help/msi_install.xml Actually, IMO, Java and Adobe are probably the easiest pieces of software to update.
