Error update Flash Player with Intranet Server Update

Hello,

We've been using an internal update server and a deployed mms.cfg to point internal client machines to a local web-server hosting Flash Player updates extracted from the background update .cab file, as detailed in the Administration Guide.

This has been working well for Windows clients (OS Windows 7).

My FlashInstall.log shows the following:

My mms.cfg:

AutoUpdateDisable=0

SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1

SilentAutoUpdateServerDomain=myserver.domain

SilentAutoUpdateVerboseLogging=1

1) What's triggering the error codes - the hack-ish way I've forced the update, or something else?

2) What is the problem? Before moving to version 23, it worked.

Hi,

I didn't find the file FlashPlayerInstaller.exe in the C:\Windows\SysWOW64 directory.

1) Yes, i have a current license distribution agreement.

2) Log from ISA server:

2016-09-16 00:25:01 myserver.domain GET /pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/22/xml/patch.xml - 443 - testclient.domain Get+Flash+Player+version+xml/1.0 - 200 0 0 124

2016-09-16 00:25:01 myserver.domain GET /pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/22/install/patch/22.0.0.210/23.0.0.162/patch_all_win_ax_sgn.z - 80 - testclient.domain Download+Flash+Player+Installer/1.0 - 200 0 0 733

3) I'm getting file from fpdownload2.macromedia.com


Thank you.  A few more questions:

Does the installation fail on ALL systems, or just some?  If it works on some but not otheres, are there differences between the ones that succeed and the ones that fail?

In your first post you state "hosting Flash Player updates extracted from the background update .cab file"  In your most recent post you state you're getting the files from fpdownload2.macromedia.com, which contradicts your first post.  Your server set up, as evidenced by your screen-shot contains many more files than are included in the background update resources cab file (fp_background_update.cab).  What you have currently in your server (.e.g /beta, /patch directories), as shown in your screen-shot, is NOT supported for internal background update work-flow.  Please configure your local server using ONLY the files in the background update resources CAB file (fp_background_update.cab).  Essentially delete everything you have in /pub/flashplayer/ and deploy only what is included in the background update resources cab file

Please try the following: on an impacted system system, reboot the system and force a background update.  Does it succeed?

Hi,

A few more questions:

  • How many systems is this happening on?
    • Are they 32- or 64-bit systems?
  • Is the FlashPlayerInstaller.exe file in memory, if so, what is the associated User Name?
  • In Windows Explorer, go to C:\Windows\System32 (ir 32-bit OS) or C:\Windows\SysWOW64 (if 64-bit OS) and look for FlashPlayerInstaller.exe file.  If the file is there, what is the version number (right click > Properties > Details)?  If the file is there, please do not delete it.

Thank you.

Hi,


Thank you for all the screenshots.  I don't see the requested information on the FlashPlayerInstaller.exe file. Where you able to see if that was in memory or not, or if it was in the C:\Windows\SysWOW64 directory?  This is just C:\Windows\SysWOW64, not C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash.

Also, the screenshots of your server directory structure contain a bunch of files that are not included in the Background Update resources package we provide to customers (under distribution license agreement).  Where are you getting these files from?  And do you have a current license distribution agreement (free for most use cases)?

Hi,


I'm actually not too familiar with errors 1215 and 1234.  I'll need to forward this to the installer engineer.

What is the hack-ish way you are forcing the update?

How do you have the files deployed on your server?  Please post a screenshot, or outline, the directory structure containing the install files.
