Macromedia Authorware PlugIn for IE

[DeRosty]

Any idea on switches. Trying to deploy via SMS. IE security may block web deployment.

Hello

My way to install it unattended :

create a batch file like this:

@ECHO OFF
REM IF EXIST %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\CMDOW.EXE CMDOW @ /HID
TITLE Macromedia Authorware WEB Player 2004.0.0.73 (Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firfox)
ECHO Instalation in prograss... Please do not close this window...

ECHO Adding support for Mozilla Firefox...
IF NOT EXIST "%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\plugins" MD "%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\plugins" >nul
COPY /Y "%CD%\Mozilla\*.*" "%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\" >nul

ECHO Adding supprot for Internet Explorer...
START /WAIT RUNDLL32 setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 0 %CD%\ActiveX\awswax.inf
REGSVR32 /S %SystemRoot%\system32\Macromed\AUTHORWA\awswax.ocx
REGEDIT /S %CD%\awswax.reg

ECHO.
ECHO Decompressing Authorware Xtras...
Xtras.exe

ECHO Instalation completed successful...
EXIT

the REG file contains the following lines:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Stats]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Stats\{15B782AF-55D8-11D1-B477-006097098764}]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Stats\{15B782AF-55D8-11D1-B477-006097098764}\iexplore]
"Type"=dword:00000001
"Flags"=dword:00000004
"Count"=dword:00000004
"Time"=hex:d8,07,07,00,05,00,12,00,0a,00,1e,00,32,00,bb,00
"Blocked"=dword:00000002

if you do not want CMD window when install is in progress, remove remarks form

begining of batch file and leave rest of this line untouched. Tool called CMDOW.EXE must be in system32 folder.

Folder "Mozilla" contains only one file - np32asw.dll

Get him form Firefox plugin folder or download orginal installer (for Netscape/Mozilla)

from adobe web page and decompress exe file using some tool for example universal extractor.

folder "ActiveX" contains 3 files: np32asw.dll, awswax.inf, awswax.ocx

files you can get from orginal ActiveX installation file form here:

awswaxd.cab

Xtras.exe file contains all content of "%AppData%\Macromedia\Authorware Web Player\" -

we can get if after first use of Authorware 7 - for example just test Authorware 7 on

Adobe Test Page

oki thats' all. It works for me.
