Installing Adobe Flash Player

Question : I can push Adobe Flash Player to end users, however it doesn't allow then to still use it. So, I have to manually go to their PC and log in as admin to install this software...Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong??

Thanks - Steve

Hi Steve,

What arguments are you providing in the Deploy Software window?

Also, Flash player needs any opened internet browser to be closed before it can be applied. I would suggest creating a batch file with something like this in the body:

@ECHO OFF

taskkill /f /im firefox.exe

taskkill /f /im iexplore.exe

install_flash_player.exe /s

Make sure you select the bat file as the deployment file AND make certain that the install_flash_player.exe is in the same directory as the batch file. Then select the checkbox "Include entire directory" on your deployment window.
