Systems Management

IIRC, SCCM is pretty dumb as far as handling registered file types is concerned. You'll need to use the full command line, i.e. including the call to MSIEXEC.

Thank you.
So that you mean the command line should be msiexec /i install_flash_player_10_activex.msi /quiet /norestart right?

Nearly there, I assume that you've not produced an MST to customise the installation in anyway so:

msiexec /i install_flash_player_10_activex.msi /qn REBOOT=ReallySuppress

/qn :quiet with no user interface
REBOOT=ReallySuppress :configures the REBOOT public property on the comnandline to prevent a restart.

You might also want to set this in SCCM to only run when no user is logged in. It's a browser plugin, so if the browser is open the plugin installation may fail.

Thanks,

but here i get new situation.
i installed the flash plugin and successful.
howevery the flash player version turn back to 10.2 not 10.3.
And the magic thing is....... if i manually install from local cash.
that will upgrate to 10.3 @@!

one more things that i wanta know....

i see the sccm have a cash locate in local HDD on client side.
is it any setting that allow sccm client to cash?
and any way that case the client side pc didn't cash the software on local but the policy for sccm client is allow to cash.
Thx

the flash player version turn back to 10.2 not 10.3. Have you checked the actual file version information? Have you matched the installed file versus the content of the MSI? Did you use a verbose log of the install?

I'm afraid I don't understand what you're asking about in your last post about local cacheing.

ok. i now can success to deploy the flash player .but the problem is , the install version is 10.3 and i can verify the .msi by manually install also show me the version is 10.3
If i useing the sccm , that will only deploy the 10.2 on client side with useing the same .msi

more information : for testing i have already removed all flash player on my test pc before i push sccm packages.

Use ProcMon to determine how the version number is displayed. Perhaps it's being called from an old registry setting which you may have overlooked? Also have you followed my advice from post #7? That is, does the installed file's properties match those in the MSI?

downloaded the ProcMon from M$. But don't know how it work. Just can see there is many information......
How every i got some log from my testing pc and discover that even the wmi engine on that pc ..also respon retune code = 0 (success)

i try to show you some of it ----------

you can see here i.
But if i run add / remove program....that is no flash play have been installed.
Thx all

downloaded the ProcMon from M$. But don't know how it workYou'll find this job - or any support job, frankly - hard to do unless you learn how to use tools like this.

can you give me some tips / keyword for seach on ProcMon?
actually i don't know what program that it(SCCM) run.
ProcMon show me a lot of GUID which i know thats a pat of service like WMI.
And located the regedit.

Thx VBScab
Isaac

In the logs you posted it lists: CommandLine = "\"C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\msiexec.exe\" /a install_flash_player_10_plugin.msi /qn REBOOT=ReallySuppress";

What do you have listed as the command line in the package's Program? Are you using "/a", or are you using "/i" as shown by DUNNPY's post?

ok. Here i want to say sorry with Lucid , VBScab and DUNNPY.
i just take a sickleave and return office to try again.
And i though there is a misstake inside our discuess.
the CommandLine what a usually say .... that i though is under programs / properties /
and here is my currently CommandLine : "Adobe Flash Player 10.3.18.14\install_flash_player_10_active_x.msi" /qn REBOOT=ReallySuppress

There is no more msiexec /i or /a.
The sccm can transfer to "C:\WINDOWS\System32\msiexec.exe" /i "C:\WINDOWS\system32\CCM\Cache\G41000C8.11.System\Adobe Flash Player 10.3\install_flash_player_10_active_x.msi" /qn REBOOT=ReallySuppress when we are pushing on server.

And there is /a installation on sccm client side which allow you to install manually.

So i here say Thank You with all you help in my post.
And appologize with my bad communication.

there is /a installation on sccm client side which allow you to install manually. No, the '/a' argument is used to create an Administrative Installation Point. It does NOT install the product.

The command line you show still doesn't include an explicit call to MSIExec.EXE.

i don't know.
But it really success when i useing "Adobe Flash Player 10.3.18.14\install_flash_player_10_active_x.msi" /qn REBOOT=ReallySuppress
Under the sccm report from server, it show me "C:\WINDOWS\System32\msiexec.exe" /i "C:\WINDOWS\system32\CCM\Cache\G41000C8.11.System\Adobe Flash Player 10.3\install_flash_player_10_active_x.msi" /qn REBOOT=ReallySuppress .

so i guess it may transfer something automatically.
trust me. that real.
and thx for your reply.it make me fix the problem.^^"

I've used the exact same syntax in my Adobe Flash SCCM deployments, "msiexec /i install_flash_player_10_activex.msi /qn REBOOT=ReallySuppress". It has always worked well. In fact, until now, I noticed, from trial and error testing, that it appeared to upgrade Flash on machines, regardless of whether people were logged in or not, and had browsers open.

But with the latest version, 10.3.181.23, I notice it returns error messages unless you specify " when no user is logged in".

Thx for your information Donaghs , i will write it done.
i have one more question on the deployment.
That i wonder there is some client unable to run. and i discover the ccm/cash didn't update.But chacked the server is currently enable the scours daily update.
Thx

For the ccm/cash didn't update issue... that i foundout the mainpoint is the share file name : SMSSIG$

and it should be have the read only right for everyone.
Now i change to system & domain users read only.

Thx all
