GPO Script Silent Install of Flash Player 11.3.300.265
Hello,
I am trying to run a script that will uninstall older versions of Flash and then install Flash Player 11.3.300.265 (both the active x control and the plugin for Firefox). The script runs on computers running both XP (SP3) and Windows 7. My test machine is a Windows 7 machine.
The problem I am encountering is that the uninstaller runs successfully but the other .exe files do not run and install. I installed old versions on my test machine and the new Flash unistaller successfully uninstalls them. Then the script/installation gets hung up. Here is a copy of the script:
@4628292 off
REM This script runs in the login script. It checks to see if the computer has ran the script before by checking the logs directory for the computer name. If it hasn't ran before it continues on to uninstall any old versions of flash player and install whatever version is sitting in the 10.0 directory.
REM To push out latest version of flash player put the latest version in the 10.0 directory and delete all the computer.txt files out of the logs directory.
set server=leejsp-fs2
if exist "\\leejsp-fs2\syncnet\Adobe_Flash_Player\logs\%computername%.txt" goto end
echo Flash Player install started on %date% %time% from %server% >> "\\leejsp-fs2\syncnet\Adobe_Flash_Player\logs\%computername%.txt"
echo.
echo Removing Flash Player...
"\\%server%\syncnet\Adobe_Flash_Player\uninstall_flash_player.exe" -uninstall
echo.
echo Installing Flash Player for Internet Explorer...
"\\%server%\syncnet\Adobe_Flash_Player\10.0\install_flash_player_11_active_x.exe" -install -au0
echo.
echo Installing Flash Player for Firefox...
"\\%server%\syncnet\Adobe_Flash_Player\10.0\install_flash_player_11_plugin.exe" -install -au0
echo Flash Player install finished on %date% %time% from %server% >> "\\leejsp-fs2\syncnet\Adobe_Flash_Player\logs\%computername%.txt"
:end
The parameters I am using were found in the 11.3 Admin Guide. I have also tried the install without the "-au0" parameter with no success. When I manually run the files they install perfectly fine on the machine. I have also tried running the script with out the uninstaller to see if the executables would install but that did not work either.
Last note: this script worked perfect with Adobe Flash 10.3 so all I did was update the file and change the file name (and parameters).
What could be going wrong?? Please, any help on this would be amazing. I am very frustrated at this point.
