Flash Player 8 silent install in Windows 2000

[moreplus]

Hi,

I've been trying to deploy the Flash Player 8 Activex.msi file via SMS with a command line of /qb. This works find on Windows XP workstations, but errors out with a Internal Error 2103. 26 error message in Windows 2000 workstations.

Any ideas on what this is or how to resolve?

and you are using what as your cmd line?

msiexec /i install_flash_player_active_x.msi /qb-!

[muiz]

i install it like this

REG ADD %KEY%\006 /VE /D "Flash 8 en shockwave 10 players" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\006 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\flashsshock\flash.msi /qb" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\006 /V 2 /D "%CDROM%\Software\flashsshock\sw.msi /qb" /f

maybe it helps

Is there any way to disable the autoupdate with a command line or mst transform file?

[muchlux]

I 've disabled autoupdate during silent install as follows:

INSTALL.CMD:

start /wait msiexec.exe /i "install_flash_player_active_x.msi" /qb

start /wait msiexec.exe /i "sw_lic_full_installer.msi" /qb

regedit /s shockwavenoupdate.reg

copy mms.cfg %windir%\system32\mms.cfg

mms.cfs:

AutoUpdateDisable=1

shockwavenoupdate.reg:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Macromedia\Shockwave 10\AutoUpdate]

@="n"

HI, I can´t get shockwave to install. Firsts off all, its keeps on showing me language screens and a pop up where i should tel shockwave if i´m 13 years or older....

That´s not the main problem thought. I would be happy if I just could get Shockwave to work at all! Even manually installed, I keep on getting my internet explorer hang, as soon as I try to load an site with shockwave content (macromedia plugin test site). Internet explorer stops and telle me that ie had to shut down ´cause showave had errors. Then it asks me if i want to restart internet explorer. Most annoying. I tried every single install what i could find in this forum. I tried also to manually install through the macromedia site, nothing works. Has it something to do with the unintended install from w2k sp4? Or with n-lite?
