Flash :: [AS2] Anyway To Install Files From CD Via Flash?

Install SWF Files To Local Harddrive
I created an SWF presentation using Flash 8 and would like to be able to burn the presentation to a CD so the user can install the presentation locally on their hard drive and run / view it that way. So the CD is only used to install the presentation, not to play it.

Ive never created an installer of any kind, so this is all new to me. I was wondering what tools I might need to aquire or if Flash 8 has the ability to create something like this for me?

I know its possible to create an .exe out of the SWF but that would only be part of my issue. We need it to install / copy the files to the user's local hard drive so they can take the CD out of their drive and access the presentation from their hard drive.

So essentially the installer would create a folder for the presentation on their hard drive, copy the presentation to that folder, install the Flash 8 plugin, and create a shortcut to the presentation on their desktop.

Does anyone have any information as to how I might best achieve these results? Any help is appreciated.

Is it possible to set up an installer right on my web site so the user dosen't leave my page? For example, the way shockwave player automatically installs/updates its self.

Flash Install
Hello,

I'm trying to compile a complete list of the versions of the Flash
plugin/component that come preinstalled with browsers of either Windows or Mac. I have done some research and have a small list, but I have not been able to find very much. Some examples of what I am looking for and of some of the info I have found is below. If anyone knows any information regarding the versions of Flash installed with browsers, any help would be most appreciated. When I am done, I will gladly share the list with everyone.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Some examples:
IE 6 - Windows 98/98SE/NT4/XP - Flash 5
Opera 7 - Windows - Flash 6
Netscape 7.1 -Windows XP/2000/NT4/ME/98/98SE,Mac 10.1/10.2 - Flash 6

(revision numbers are helpful, but not crucial)

Install Flash CS3 On Win XP 64
Help! I can't get CS3 to install on my machine. I get the following error during silent install:
Checking bootstrapper progress
[ 1160] Tue Jul 24 13:11:16 2007 FATAL
Exception: JavaScript Support file could not be loaded: ReferenceError: systemCheck_wp is undefined
Exit code: 7

I have tried copying the installation files to my hard drive. I have made sure that the directory names don't have spaces in them. I have tried manually executing regsvr32 jscript.dll. I have tried booting with nothing but windows installer running in msconfig. I have tried using the adobe clean utility. I have tried updating to the latest version of java. When I run the regular installer it just disappears after loading the first progress bar.

Any other ideas?

Flash Won't Install - HELP
Hi All,

I'm running Windows Vista and had some trouble the other day with Adobe Flash - so I disabled it in the add-on tab. Then I rebooted and reinstalled it. Supposedly, it reinstalled successfully and was now listed as enabled in the add-on tab. Except it really isn't installed. For some reason, no flash works in IE. I'm not having the same trouble in Firefox. I ran the Registry corrector from Microsoft but no luck there either.

Any help you could give would be greatlly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Best regards,
Mara

Flash Keeps Asking To Install
I have "succesfully installed" Flash Player on my PC in IE6, I have XP Pro sp2, but every time I visit a site that requires Flash to view it properly, it says that I need to install it. So I go to the Flash site and install it again, and the saga continues.

According to every site I visit Flash is not installed yet I have lost count of how many times I have installed it, does anyone know why this is happening?

Thanks

Derek

Cannot Install Flash 9
Forgive me if this has been covered but I did attempt to search for this particular problem. I have Internet Explorer here at work and am allowed to install FlashPlayer. The only problem is that for some reason it won't install correctly. I click that I agree to the terms and then it takes me to another page and it is trying to install ultrashim.cab. I clicked install and then nothing at all happens. I don't even get to a point to where it asks me to install FlashPlayer. I think I've got version 6.something on this computer currently. This is an XP Pro computer. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Flash 9 Won't Install In XP
It doesnt matter which browser I use, once I download the installer it starts then tells me I dont have enough memory. I have more than 17 gigabytes free. the only difference I can see between me and the gal the next cube over, is that my local drive is F not C. anyone else having these problems?

I want an installer that asks me where to install.

Can't Install Flash CS3
I'm trying to install the Flash CS3 trial on my MacBook The installer runs through "shared components" but misses out the Flash application. Hardly inspiring...

Flash CS3 Won't Install
Okay... I seriously am in need of help here. I have downloaded the trial version of Adobe Flash CS3, and for some reason when I run the installer it didn't install it right. At first when I installed this, the program seemed to be in place, but when I tried to start it, I got an error message saying that I need to repair it by uninstalling/reinstalling the program... The whole message escapes me at the moment...

Anyways I tried to uninstall it and apperantly it still shows on the Add/Remove Programs list. It won't allow me to uninstall it. The installer doesn't work anymore. I try to use the setup.exe program and it shows a new little window with a progress bar at the top right corner of my screen.

The Window

After this window finished loading it closes but the installer never opens... I've tried many things posted on this forum, including:

-Removing Flash 8 Player
-Making a New Account
-Checking for duplicate color profiles

and nothing worked! Please help me... I have no other CS3 programs, running on Windows XP, and I have admin account.

Flash Will Not Install
I run Windows XP ansd cannot intall Flash. It appears that an Active X Control is blocking the installation page frokm displayonmg some content. Could this be causing the issue?

Also, I see from the 'Troubleshooting System Registry issues that prevent Flash Player installation" article that my registry security setting do not show a Power User. Is this causing the problm and how do I add a Power User?

And would using Firefox to downloa Flash Player bypass ther problem?

TIA

Install Flash Again & Again & Again...
I am a long-time user of Adobe Flash, Reader, etc., but for the last several months, every time I've gone to a web site that uses Flash, I am instructed to "Download Flash"; I do so, I view the Flash item and then the next web site that needs Flash tells me that I need to install it again!! This has happened MANY, MANY times!
Why is Flash not "staying" on my computer?
BTW, also, when I look at some Adobe docs (e.g., eMail attachments), it doesn't "find" Reader, and I have to open Reader, then find the attachment.

I like Adobe, why doesn't my computer like it?! [I am running WinXP, SP2]

Please Help With Flash Install
Ok I have Windows Vista & I am running Internet Explorer.

My problem is that I cannot get flash to install. I go through the install screen. My cpu asks if I want to continue & I say yes. Then a window pops up saying all IE needs to be restarted save your work. I say OK. Then everything gets restarted the flash movie is playing saying install good. But when I check other sites it is no good. Of course I have done all these things about 10 times & nothing

I have done everything I can think of restarting the cpu, deleting temp & cookie files, Disk Clean Up, Virus Protection On & Off, IE security levels all the way down.

Nothing works. When I go and look at my add & remove programs Itâ€™s not even there All I have is Adobe Photoshop, Reader & Shockwave.

Please help someone because it seems like all my favorite sites need flash to run!

Thanks
Brian

but still when i click install, it says that IE has to be stopped. well i don't see any IE running. then i checked my task manager, the processes, and there were 2 IE execution, but i don't know what they were. i tried to stop the execution immediately, but it won't stop, it just keeps popping up right after I stop it.. I tried to restart my computer and install flash immediately before any application is executed, but i still face the same problem..
So what should i do? is there anyway that i can get my flash running? somebody please help me?

It ha workt before though. but the installation has become corrupted.

I have trying to unistall the remnant traces with the uninstall flash player Tool

it doesnt seem to help. when trying to install Flash from Macromedia Web site

In internet security settings i have the "install signed Active x controls" on Ask allready.

When install From this website the sign which should say installation complete is replaced by a brocken sign

Flash Install
Is there any way of enabling the user to install flash from my own pages instead of sending them off to the macromedia site? You know how it is - I'm trying to think of the 5% of users who won't have the plug-in installed and will give up when their sent to another site!

HELP IE Won't Install Flash
I started working for a new company on Monday. I simply took over the previous Flash dev's computer.

I noticed that flash player (activex) wasn't working for half of the places I visited (FireFox always works fin).

So I went to Adobe and updated my player. Then all hell broke loose.

Flash doesn't work at all anymore in IE and it simply won't install.

When I go to http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer and run the installer, it tries to do its thing, then instead of the Flash animation playing to show it has been successful, all I see is a single "

That's it.

When I look at my activeX plug-ins in IE6, all I see for Flash now is this:

{D27CDB63-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000}
status: unknown
Total Size: 8 KB
Creation Date:
None
Last Accessed:
None
Version:
0,0,0,1

(see below for everything I've tried so far)

***************************

I've tried:

after making sure I've got admin privileges for my computer:

Flash uninstall, reboot install online
Flash uninstall, reboot install offline (.exe)
Flash uninstall, no reboot and both above
run Uninstall from Windows of Flash Player 9 activeX
deleting C:WINDOWSsystem32MacromedFlash folder (and individual files)
running .exe installers from above link
downloading the swFlash.cab file and running the .inf manually
editing the above .inf as described on a page I found and running it
updating to IE7
rolling back to IE6 (currently still there)
running all Windows updates
deleting registry keys (when able - my registry differs a bit from my coworkers' when it comes to the shockwave parts...this may be part of the problem)
cleaning the registry
checking registry permissions for All to have access
C:WINDOWSDownloaded Program Files - deleting shockwave activeX stuff
installing Flash 8 player instead

None of this worked for me.

Install Flash 8 And CS3?
Hi,

I have Flash 8 installed on my computer, and now I want to try the flash CS3 trial. However, I don't want to uninstall flash 8. My question is, is it fine to install CS3 while I still have flash 8 on my computer? Or I have to uninstall flash 8 first?

Thank you,

Flash CS3 Won't Install
Hi,
I'm running windows xp pro and I installed flash and it worked fine, the same with dreamweaver, photoshop, and fireworks. But my computer caught a bad Trojan so I re-installed windows. I tried installing them again and photoshop and fireworks worked fine as well as flash and dreamweaver.

But suddenly when I opened flash it said there was something wrong with my registration, reinstall, so I reinstalled but that didn't work, so I un-installed. The same with dreamweaver.

But now when I run the installer for both, it says, extracting to "Adobe Setup" but then closes and the main installer won't open!

When I look in Add/Remove Programs the 2 products are there but the files aren't in Program Files!

How can I install them!!!!!!

Any help greatly appreciated,
Sephers

Detection And Install Of Flash 5
I'm looking for a tool to deploy a Flash 5 Site. I need to scan browser for flash plugin-in, and if installed ---> mysite. If not installed, ask user to install Flash 5 (not 6), then install flash 5 plugin from my site.

The deployment kit from Macromedia works great for Flash 6. However, I want no part in deploying Flash 6--as on many pc's (especially AOL users) this requires a reboot. I do not want users having to reboot their computers when visiting my site.

<venting>Why Macromedia hasn't come up with a fix to this problem is beyond me. Why would anyone visit my site again after having to reboot! Jeesh! So until Flash 6 is ubiquitous or 'required by law', I'll keep developing in Flash 5. Of course, if the user already has flash 6 installed, then great--they'll be able to view site. </venting>

So, for now I'm looking to detect and install Flash 5 only. Thanks.

Successfully Install Flash On Mac
Here's a way around the Flash 9 installation problems. I'm on Mac, so I don't know if this works for PC users. This is what you do:

1. Go to System Preferences and open Users
2. Creat a new User account, and give it Administrator permissions.
3. Log out of your account and log into the new account.
4. Now, try installing Flash again. It should work (it did for me).
5. Next, log out of the new account and back into your old account. RE-install Flash here.
6. It should work on both your old and new accounts now.

Good luck.
