Flash Player 32.0.0.142 fails in SCUP installation

Hiya,

Adobe Flash Player 32.0.0.142 fails to install when using SCUP. It reports error 0x80070667 on my machines, which translates to INVALID_COMMAND_LINE, for both my Win7 and Win10 machines.

Can this be checked?

    Hiya,

    I've read the admin guide and followed the steps, but your document is outdated where it still refers to SMS 2003/2007.

    1. What is the command line arguments you are using to deploy Flash Player?
      1. No specific command line other than what is included in the CAB file. I can't see it, so I don't know.
    2. Provide the Flash Player install log file and a MSI install log file with Verbose & Extra debugging information (vx) options enabled from the same machine for the same installation attempt.
      1. It doesn't start the installation, so no logs are captured.

    1. Upload the files to cloud.acrobat.com/send (see How to share a file using Adobe Document Cloud), or some other file sharing service of your choice that doesn't require user account to access
    2. If you've modified the catalog (e.g. via Transform file) upload the catalog & transform file you're using
      1. I have not modified anything from the catalog or the CAB file.
    3. Post the link to the uploaded files in your reply
      1. Do not post the contents of the log files in this forum post.  The files are too long and verbose to post here and will only clutter the post.
      2. Dropbox - 8B1A09CFF4E1B83D1BEA93E04E5231007D9E1EAB.cab

    Thank you for clarifying.

    The SCUP catalogs have been the same for many years.  The only difference in each release is updated MSI GUIDs and Security Bulletin ID.

    Is this the first time you attempt to deploy Flash Player in this manner? Yes


    If you've successfully deployed the SCUP catalog in the past, has anything changed in your environment between the last successful deployment and this deployment? I have not successfully deployed this SCUP catalog.

    What process is reporting the Windows error? ​Software Center/Config Mgr Client.

    Thank you for the update and providing the CAB file.

    Regarding the cab file you provided - this isn't Adobe's catalog file.  The file you provided contains the MSI installer and is signed by WSUS Publishers self-signed.  Adobe's catalog files contain XML files consumed by WSUS (for SCUP) or SMS (ITCU/CUPT).

    In a previous comment you said you used the URL https://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/distribution/win/AdobeFlashPlayerCatalog.cab, but this is for the SMS (ITCU/CUPT) catalog, not the SCUP catalog. I apologize I missed this earlier.

    Please download the SCUP catalog​, or use the URL for the SCUP catalog, https://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/distribution/win/AdobeFlashPlayerCatalog_SCUP.cab,  and see if that works for you.

    Hi Maria,

    Sorry to drag this up again, but I was finally able to work on this further. When using the URL that you provided for me, it is not giving me any new products at all. It did gave me a new Vendor tag (simply called "Adobe") but no products are being synced to it.

    I'm not sure if this is therefore the right URL as I am now not getting anything.

    Hi,

    We'll need to obtain some information from you to investigate further. Please provide the following:

    1. What is the command line arguments you are using to deploy Flash Player?
    2. Provide the Flash Player install log file and a MSI install log file with Verbose & Extra debugging information (vx) options enabled from the same machine for the same installation attempt.
      1. The Flash Player install log file(s) are saved at:
        1. 32-bit OS: C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashInstall32.log
        2. 64-bit OS: C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashInstall64.log AND C:\Windows\sysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\FlashInstall32.log - both files are required from a 64-bit OS
    3. Upload the files to cloud.acrobat.com/send (see How to share a file using Adobe Document Cloud​), or some other file sharing service of your choice that doesn't require user account to access
    4. If you've modified the catalog (e.g. via Transform file) upload the catalog & transform file you're using
    5. Post the link to the uploaded files in your reply
      1. Do not post the contents of the log files in this forum post.  The files are too long and verbose to post here and will only clutter the post.

    Flash Player 32.0.0.142 was released on Feb 12.  This is the first post on these forums of an installation issue with the SCUP catalog.  This usually indicates an issue on the server/client end and not indicative of an issue with the SCUP catalog.  Please ensure you are deploying the catalog correctly.

    Thank you.

    Hi Maria,

    We are using the built-in Third-Party Software Update Catalogs from SCCM to import the catalogue from Adobe. As such, there is no other configuration possible other than what is coming from the catalogue directly. It doesn't trigger the installation either, as it already comes up with Invalid Command Line.

    No modification was done on it.

    What does "built-in Third-Party Software Update Catalogs"  mean?

    What third party software are you using to obtain the SCUP catalog?
