Uninstall Adobe Shockwave for MacOS?

[Mathias Mahnke]

The documentation ​(Download the stand-alone installer for Adobe Shockwave) for Shockwave states that the MacOS installer contains both the installer and the uninstaller. Since Shockwave is EOL, the installer is no longer available. Is there an alternative way to uninstall Shockwave for MacOS or get access to the installer package?

Thank you!

Are you asking about the paid for product Director/Shockwave, or the free product Shockwave Player?

[Mathias Mahnke]

I believe it is the free product

I found an old email that linked to the distribution page for Shockwave, where I was able to download the full installation DMG with the uninstaller!

Edit: For those wondering what the uninstaller does, it shows some dialog boxes and runs three lines of shell script with admin privileges:

rm -rf /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/DirectorShockwave.plugin

rm -rf /Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/Shockwave\ 12

rm -rf /Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/Shockwave\ 11
