[flexcoders] Autoinstall not guaranteed?
We had a client who ordered a content management system in beta 2 (worked fine too). It launched just before beta 3 and there were updates needed after 3 came out. So, we upgraded it to beta 3 which was a perfect time for the client to upgrade their computers to FP9. The problem is it didn't work. In IE it just kept repeating the process but never actually installed the player even after restarting IE as directed. In Firefox it would either throw an error about the Timer class not being available or just sit their blank (normal Flex bg). So, is autoinstall not complete? Has there been any upgrades from FP8? It was flaky at best in FP8, in our experience, so we're hoping some upgrades have been made so we can use it this time.TIA, -- John C.

RE: [flexcoders] Autoinstall not guaranteed?
Auto-upgrade is not going to work until we actually ship Player 9 on adobe.com because there is no server sitting out there with the Player. So your clients will need to install FP9 manually for now (despite FB offering the install options). Matt From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of John C.

Re: [flexcoders] Autoinstall not guaranteed?
Ahh...good stuff Chotin. I thought that was the case in Beta 2 but thought it was fixed since it was officially 9 now.So, one last question: are there any upgrades to the autoinstall?

RE: [flexcoders] Autoinstall not guaranteed?
I dont know of any real changes. Not sure what wasnt working with the auto-update before, I know there were issues with the security patches and whatnot and if you had a beta player installed things could get interesting. But going from a release player to the release player that comes out with Player 9 ships should be fine. Matt From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of John C.
