Question

Flash Player v9.0.115.0

I've just created a transform for Flash 9.0.115.0 and, following the extensive notes here on AppDeploy, I created and am using a configuration file MMS.CFG to disable automatic updating. All our installation scenarios are satisfied and Flash works.

Thing is, I have no way of knowing if the 'Do not update automatically' entry is going to work until an update becomes available. An extremely tall order, I know, but does anyone happen to know how I could trigger it?

    Hi,

    You can run the following test to verify that the AutoUpdateDisable=1 is working appropriately.

    Verify the mms.cfg configuration has disabled auto-update by using a packet sniffer with the following test:

    1. In mms.cfg, set AutoUpdateDisable=0 to allow auto-update. Verify that auto-update is enabled in Settings Manager.

    2. Add the auto-update setting:

    AutoUpdateInterval=0

    With this setting, Flash Player requests the version file every time it starts and the request will appear in the network request traffic.

    3. Open a web page with Flash content to start Flash Player. A simple page with a single piece of Flash content is best, to minimize the network traffic in the packet sniffer log. The packet sniffer will show the auto-update request traffic to

    http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/

    4. Set the AutoUpdateDisable to 1, to disable auto-update notification.

    5. Open a web page with Flash content to start Flash Player. There should be no version file request traffic.

    I just ran this test using Wire Shark, and the AutoUpdateDisable=1 is working properly.
