I am using a linux server to host the whole flash player distribution (.cab) files.

I have setup mms.cfg to download from our linux server automatically and silently.

I have the programmed task and checked that the service exists. On my work pc, i have build .213 installed while the cab file i installed on the linux server has build ..242. I tried running the programmed task manually and this is what i get on the log:

i don't see any errors, but i don't know what those codes are and tried to search them and found no answer.

I even tried disabling the firewall on my work win10 pc and still nothing.

I even tried visiting https://linux.company.com/pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/currentmajor.xml successfully, so dns is working fine.

My mms file is:

AutoUpdateDisable=0

SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1

SilentAutoUpdateServerDomain=linux.company.com

SilentAutoUpdateVerboseLogging=1

What else can i check?

After 2 hours i found the solution, i needed to delete lastUpdateCheck and UpdateAttempts in the registry from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Macromedia\FlashPlayerSAU

Still i don't know if that means i must delete them every time i update (the update actually recreated them with value 0)
