Question

Enterprise version of the 'Full' Adobe Flash Player available?

On the following page, Adobe states that the 'full' flash player install is needed in order to view Flash content in PDF files, not just the ActiveX version.

In the above article it states that "Enterprise Admins should download an installer suitable for distribution across their organization..."  Unfortunately when going to the Flash Player Redistributable page, it appears that one can download the ActiveX (IE) and/or the Plug-In (Other browsers), but we do not see a 'full' version available that it mentions is needed in the above article.  We are an IE shop, and have historically downloaded the ActiveX MSI and deployed via SCCM.  However, we have users that cannot open Flash content in PDF files and thus need the 'full' version.

In the above article, there is a link to download and install Flash Player...


That link points to the following, which is "install_flash_player.exe", which we have tested and appears to resolve the Flash content in PDF files issue our users are seeing.

Question...
Is there an MSI available to Enterprise Admins for the 'full' version of Adobe Flash Player?

We can find no reference in the Flash Player Admin guide to a 'full' version, but rather only to separate ActiveX and Plugin versions.

Thanks,

-Rob

Hi Rob,

I haven't heard of the plugin version of Flash Player referred to as the "full" version before, but we do have an msi installation available.  Please take a minute and fill out our Flash Player distribution agreement forum.  Once done, you'll receive instructions for Flash Player administration along with various distribution URLs.  One of these is our distribution page: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html.  This page has msi's for both the ActiveX and Plugin versions of Flash Player.

The distribution agreement forum can be found here: http://www.adobe.com/products/players/flash-player-distribution.html

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Chris,

Thank you for your reply.  That is currently our process as we do have an agreement in place.  We have historically downloaded the ActiveX MSI for IE since we are an IE shop, and deployed that via SCCM.

The article (http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/flash-player-needed-acrobat-reader.html) mentions needing to have a 'full' Flash Player installed (Adobe's words, not mine ).  Does this mean install both the ActiveX and Plugin-based versions of Flash Player even though we don't use a plugin-based browser, such as Firefox?  That is what is so confusing, since there isn't a 'full' Flash Player listed, only the separate ActiveX and Plugin-based versions.

Thanks,

-Rob

Those are the only two installers, so I can only assume they meant the plug-in version.  I'll talk with our help documentation group and confirm this.
