@vmanda:

I think these will be the new permanent links:

http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax_32bit.exe
http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_32bit.exe

as i said, they have added 32bit at the end of the name, probably because 64bit versions are also released.

Also, what have you modified in the alternate maker ? just the download adress ? wich one have you used ?

edit: just saw this topic with all links:
http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9131

[vmanda]

the modified/alternate maker just use alternate links. nothing else changed. these are new links:

[mooms]

Thanks fo the explanation vmanda
But, at least for flash player, the files are the same (checked MD5), so why using licensed links ?

[vmanda]

In the past, files under usual (current) links contains craps. licenced exe's never contains.
I don't know when adobe change his mind, and include again ask toolbar, or something else.

[master2]

thanks for the update

[shon3i]

Is this contain and 64-bit one ? Thanks

[vmanda]

@shon3i: nope. i do not have a x64 OS to make tests. ( i do not have yet a x64 compatible computer). Sorry.

[Escorpiom]

I've seen Adobe including crap like "McAfee Security Advisor" that is preselected when running the setup.
Corporate greed is a very bad thing, Adobe sneeks in this crap so we have to be careful.

Cheers.

Dear Sir:

Adobe Flash and Shockwave sfx and add-on maker 1.27 has problems:

When I check if I want either the full versions of Flash and Shockwave, I get
for MSIE and Mozilla Firefox I get both of them.

Furthermore, please update your download source for the binaries of Flash &
Shockwave, as they are at version 11 not 10.

Thanks for updating this soon.

Sincerely, Donald

[vmanda]

@don1959nLite: Updated the maker. use link from first post.

My mistake. missed to update first post with link to updated maker.

[adric]

What was the reason for removing Path="%Temp%" from the .cfg
files in \binary?

[cosy]

a job well done,
Thank you

[vmanda]

Well, there are allready added new icons inside. For example shock.sfx icon are 13.942 bytes wide.
New icon: 32x32 - 32b plus 48x48 - 32b , original icon are 3238 bytes only.

Also there are some differences from reshacking original version resource with new one.

[adric]

Thanks for the explanation vmanda.

Hi vmanda,
I have made a Flash all-in-one x64 version, based upon your work.
Is it OK with you if I post it here?
This 64 bit version can be used on x64 OS, it contains Shockwave Player, Flash AX x64 and Flash Plugin x64.

The Flash installers will install both x86 and x64 versions, so for 64 bit OS we don't need the extra x86 versions.

Cheers.

[vmanda]

[Escorpiom]

Here is the x64 version of the Flash-all-in-one.
This installer is based upon the x86 Flash-all-in-one from vmanda and based on the idea from Troubada.
It contains

- Flash AX x64
- Flash Plugin x64
- Shockwave Player

It is to be used on x64 OS only, as said before the x64 Flash installers also contain the x86 components so this should be a complete solution for x64 systems and there is no need to install the all-in-one x86 separately, keeping the filesize acceptable.

File size:

24.7 MB (25,999,940 bytes)

@Escorpiom - Thanks for sharing your work.

[tanstaafl]

Would it be possible to modify the Maker to provide 64 bit options of the full or slim installers?

[vmanda]

Maybe i will write another maker for 64 bit Aio's , but this will take some time to put
togheter all informations. Also i do not have any 64 os to test.

If somebody wants to provide links to 64bit licenced installers, to save a lot of time ?!

[ricktendo64]

Just want to point out you only need to use the 64 bit installer on x64 OS's because it contains both the x86 and x64 runtimes

Is the 64bit installer 'smart enough' to know if it's running on a 32bit OS and only install the correct bits?

[bphlpt]

As far as I know, it is NOT a dual architecture installer. You use the x86 one on 32 bit OS. You use the x64 one on 64 bit OS, which will install BOTH the x86 and the x64 parts. A dual arch installer could be made, but I don't think that's the way it comes from the Adobe site.

Cheers and Regards

[newsposter]

Adobe has had soooooo many problems adjusting to 64 bit windows I'd give them a while before 'trusting' any dual-arch they distribute.

[vmanda]

i get this from now:

http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_player_11_plugin_64bit.exe

http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_player_11_active_x_64bit.exe

i fail to get shockwave 64-bit. it this exist or i'm searching some non existent thing ?

[bphlpt]

[vmanda]

[ricktendo64]

Yes to both questions

BTW if you install the 32 bit flash, then the 64 bit version, the 32 bit one will be uninstalled/replaced by the 64

It doesn't make sense to make a dual arch flash installer, because we will effectively end up with two x86 installers, as the 64 bit flash has both x86 and x64 installers.
That does not mean the x64 installer works on x86 OS. We need the x86 Flash installer for x86 OS.

That's the very reason I made the x64 as a separate installer.
As far as I know, there is no x64 Shockwave player so I just included the x86 player.

7zip x86 SFX module works just fine on 64 bit OS.

Cheers.

[ricktendo64]

Escorpiom is right, no need for dual arch because there is no need for the 64 bit installer on x86 machines nor the 32 bit installer on x64

Somebody fancy to test this: X64_Flash&Shockwave_addon&sfx_maker.exe

you will see this icon

filename: Flash&Shock_addon&sfx_maker_v.1.3.Dual.zip
size:1,38 MB (1.453.625 bytes)
md5:E6CEEFE8AF9D31B88A2149902F052C71

This is just modified maker for usual 32 bit, changed links and some strings,
also i cannot see any icon to flash plugin/activex 64 bit from my 32 bit machine,
but explorer show some infos about files, so, i assume that downloaded files are OK.

and trying to run it into 32 bit OS give me that error, so, that packages are
really not intended to be used into both 32/64 OS, but just for 64 bit OS.

Dual from the package name means:are 2 exe makers, one for 64 and one for 32 bit,
but no dual arch output addons/sfx's are created.

Note: Maker is working, but results are untested, i do not have 64 bit OS
to test myself the resulting addons/sfs's, so use virtual machine first.

@RuKaDa: Many thanks for your help.

[tanstaafl]

Hi - first many many thanks for this absolutely useful tool!

But, now that adobe has released 11.2 with the new 'silent update' feature, is there any chance for an option in the builder to build these *without* the silent update feature?

[vmanda]

@tanstaafl
If you are using flash aio, locate and replace content of flashaio.cfg with this:

[tanstaafl]

Nice! Thanks!

[Zoom7000]

Nice one! Thanks for the great work vmanda!

[ricktendo64]

[vmanda]

@ricktendo64 - Thanks for infos. I will test to see if/how work this method
because I can't find any FlashPlayerUpdateService.exe in my windows folder.
Maybe this is application is included just in x64 installers.

I have find some another method here and combined with some of mine's ideas and yours too:
RemoveAutoUpdate.bat

[user_hidden]

[vmanda]

@user_hidden - That is the content of my Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash/ folder

[ricktendo64]

[vmanda]

@ricktendo64 - Thanks again. I can figure the batch to do all the jobs to
be something like that:

[user_hidden]

[vmanda]

Oooops, i will update now to see. thanks.
