Unistall of Flash Player as a ".pkg"?

Question

Hello all,

I tried to get this request thru support, thru the Flash Distribution page, being Flash Player is EOL 1/11/21.

I am a Mac Admin. I use ARD - Apple Remote Desktop to support and update Macs, in mass, daily.

The "installer" for Flash Player, in the Admin Distribution page was always a ".pkg" that allowed me to install to the 200-300 Macs we use in our School District.

However, the "uninstaller" is only a ".dmg" download, that is a ".app" which doesn't allow me/us to send out an uninstall, to multiple Macs, at a time. Anyone have a link to a ".pkg" to uninstall??

I went thru 7 people, and they then told me to post to the Community Board. Thanks!

The uninstaller was never provided as a .pkg file, just the .app.

A possible option is to deploy the uninstaller app to the user's machine and create a script to run the uninstaller in silent mode. Refer to page 12 of the Flash Player Admin Guide for more information. I did notice the command in the Guide is incorrect. It's missing the dot in front of /Adobe and should be:

sudo ./Adobe Flash Player.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Flash Player Install Manager -uninstall
