new swflash.cab

[jvidal]

Hi, I just dloaded the latest swflash.cab and it's different from previous versions, this one includes a .inf file and an executable called "FP_AX_CAB_INSTALLER.EXE" instead of an .inf file, flash9x.ocx and flashutil9x.exe (where 'x' is the revision )

BTW, that FP_AX_CAB_INSTALLER.EXE is the same as the install_flash_player_active_x.exe file, dloadable from adobe

Is this still slipstreamable or does hfslip need modifications to work with this?

bye!

It's not supported. Thanks for the tip.

[jvidal]

Thanks for answering, I hope you can support this in the near future.

Bye!

It's a Nullsoft installer...

I repacked it. You can download it here.

Contents:

Flash9e.ocx

FlashUtil9e.exe

swflash.inf

Trying to work with the updated package from Adobe, I finally figured out the reason why registration of the OCX fails with the recent versions: the FlashUtil*.exe needs to be present alongside the OCX for that. The next version of HFSLIP will slipstream this file too.

swflash.inf registers the OCX and adds a few other necessary registry changes.

Thanks, that was fast!

Unfortunately, I can't test it, can't dload the file, I get an error "IPS error"

Edit: strike that, after a few attempts, I was able to dload the file!

The repacked cab seemed not working in my setting.

XP SP2, IE7 , WMP11, HFSLIP 1.7.2rc3

The files were in the correct folder of the resulting os.

But IE7 seemed not registered this addon.

When I visited the Adobe flash website, the flash player was not working

I have the same problem, after I have installed a hfslipped version of Winxp, and I try to connect to a website with a flash object, ie7 shows a windows that ask if I want to install Flash Player

Slipstreamed image details:

winxp sp2, ie7 installed from svcpack at t-13, wmp11, hfslip 1.7.2 final

Could there be some localized versions? I tested this (English) package on XPSP2 English and XPSP2 Dutch and it's working fine with both.

You can use the original Adobe swflash.cab in HFCABS if you're using the latest test release, or extract FP_AX_CAB_INSTALLER.exe from the original swflash.cab into HFSVCPACK using any version of HFSLIP. This doesn't really slipstream it but at least it works.

Flash9e.ocx not registered during setup so flash files not runing.

Manuel register of flash9e.ocx solves running of swf files. But adobe.com still says u have to install Flash ActiveX. :?

Maybe solution can be here.

http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flash...t/ultrashim.cab

Flash downloads it and installs to "\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Download"

and register download.dll. "Flash Player Installer"

After copy these files to location and register download.dll adobe.com work perfect.

Does the problem persist if you use the original swflash.cab with the latest test release of HFSLIP?

[eryen]

Repacked swflash.cab file with 1.7.2. "I dont like SVCPACK metod."

Maybe you can add support for ultrashim.cab in next releases for full splitstream of flash activex

download.dll not depents on flash9e.ocx but adobe wants it.
