Package Information

Adobe Flash Player

Current Version: 11.3.300.265

Last Updated: 7/12/2012

NOTE: As of Flash 11.3, the 32-bit and 64-bit versions have been combined into one universal installer. There is no longer need to maintain two separate installers.  Only one is needed.

Microsoft launched Internet Explorer 10 in conjunction with Windows 8 back in August 2012, it shipped the Flash player as an integrated part of the browser. All flash updates in IE 10+ are handled by Microsoft through monthly patches, same way they release patches for all of their products - monthly, every second Tuesday of the month.

Switches

Current Switches used for MSIs: /i /norestart /quiet

Switches that can be used for EXEs:

          The new command line arguments are:

  • -install: Perform a silent install of the Flash Player.
  • -uninstall: Perform a silent uninstall of the Flash Player.
    • *Note: *These arguments can be used with the standalone uninstaller, or with the FlashUtil .exe in \Macromed\Flash directory
  • -uninstall (activex | plugin): Perform an uninstall of a specific player, either ActiveX (Internet Explorer) or plugin (other browsers). 
    • *Note: *This argument can be used with the standalone uninstaller, or with the FlashUtil .exe in the \Macromed\Flash directory.
    • Note: When uninstalling a specific player, a specific player type must be used with the silent -uninstall argument,. Otherwise, the uninstall doesn't  work and both player types are  uninstalled.

Modifications

Neither the Internet Explorer nor the Firefox MSI for Flash 11.3.300.265 were modified from the stock distributable MSI.
