Trying to deploy Flash Player 21.0.0.213.exe SILENTLY with no pop Auto Update Pop-Up and have tried a number the following switches at command prompt with no success.

flashplayer21ax_ra_install.exe -AutoUpdateDisable=0 

flashplayer21ax_ra_install.exe -SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1

flashplayer21ax_ra_install.exe -install -au 0

Anyone know how to auto accept the Auto Update and run this silently?

    Hi,


    The installers you are using are the online installers, which are stub installers that download and install Flash Player silently in the background.  The silent installation switches will not work with the online (stub) installers.

    If you are deploying Flash Player within your organization (private/public/non-profit/etc) you'll need to license Flash Player for distribution. For most use-cases licensing Flash Player for distribution is free.  After applying for a distribution license you'll receive an email with a unique URL to download the installers from.


    To apply for the distribution license please go to http://www.adobe.com/products/players/flash-player-distribution.html‌ and submit the application.  You'll receive a reply within 24 - 48 hrs.


    To learn more about Administering Flash Player, including deployment strategies, within your organization, please review the Flash Player Administrator's Guide.

    Hi,

    Can you please explain for what purpose you want to implement the above. The options you are giving are the entries of mms.cfg(file responsible to take care which mechanism is being used for update depending on user choice).

    There are two things here:

    1.You want the settings to be done such that going forward whenever any update of Flash Player comes it is updated on its own.

    2. You want to update it once using cmd without any update popup coming.

    Additionally, please provide me OS details. It will help me guide you to make the changes/do settings whatever necessary according to your requirements.
