I need the correct switch or switches for the silent install of "install_flash_player_11_active_x_64bit.exe".

Cannot use the .msi installer file as it generates an error code 1722.

         Can anyone say the parameter to install the adobe flash player online installer file in unattended installation?

    The online installer can only be used in interactive mode.  The online installer doesn't have any parameters for unattended installation.

    I've had the most luck using the msi and /qn /i switches. The latest version can be downloaded from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html.

    @Maria - The switches for the exe version have changed periodically across different versions, even inside the 10 family.

    Hi Jon-Hall,

    The EXE silent install/uninstall switches have been -install and -uninstall since the 10.1 release.

    Hi John,

    The EXE silent install switches are documented in this tech note: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/862/cpsid_86223.html.

    Can you provide more information on the 1722 error you are getting when attempting to install using the MSI?  Can you attempt to install the MSI from the command line, using msiexec (including the log file option), and provide the log file?

    Thank you.

    The article you posted was for version 10 and isn't performing a silent install for version 11.  What's the switch for a version 11 silent install?  Thanks

    I just tried appending "-install" to the FP11 exe installer in a cmd window and it installed silently.  Can you tell me the full string you're using?
