Question

Redirect URL after Install?

Is there a way to provide a redirect url parameter to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/? I notice the location bar updates itself to: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?no_redirect which would lead me to believe thare is a way.

I'd like a way to land the user back onto our page after they go to adobe to install/upgrade through the adobe website.

The reason this is a requirement is that expressInstaller seems to be broken in latest versions of webkit browsers, also I'd rather have one experience for the user in case they are browsing without flash or without a version >= 8.

Thanks for any help.

Dave

Not sure I understand the problem. You can use SWFObject to fire a callback if a detected FP is less than specified, at which point you can JS redirect to wherever you like.

Can you describe how the express install is failing? This does seem to be a recurring problem. I haven't noticed anything specifically with Safari but have noticed cases where a user could not interact with the button to agree to an update. We used the workaround above.

Sorry, I need to read better. You'd like the browser to open to your URL after a player upate? Not aware of a solution to that.

Yes I'd like to know if adobe provides support to redirect after flash installer is successful.
