It uses Adobe's admittedly wacky but effective install process so all the pieces get put in place properly. The above will install Flash and then the configuration package to set auto update on, and finally clean up the folder in /tmp/. usr/sbin/installer -pkg /private/tmp/FlashPlayer/FlashPlayer_ -target / private/tmp/FlashPlayer/Install Adobe Flash Player.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Flash Player Install Manager -install You should have 'Install Adobe Flash Player.app' and 'mms.cfg' (or whatever you named it) in the list under /private/tmp/FlashPlayer/Ħ- Create a post install script in your Composer package with these contents: #!/bin/sh (This file sets the auto update prefs)Ĥb- Copy the above pkg install into /private/tmp/FlashPlayer/ĥ- Create a new Composer package (blank) and drag the 2 files from above into the window.

The above entry makes the installer invisible, as in no Dock icon, so you can deploy it silently (as long as someone is logged in)ģ- Copy the modified 'Install Adobe Flash Player.app' into the /private/tmp/FlashPlayer/ folderĤa- (Optional step): Set Flash to auto-update on a Mac with it installed and create another package that deploys the 'mms.cfg' configuration into /Library/Application Support/Macromedia/ from Composer. I assume the process Don is using is basically the same:ġ- Create a folder in /private/tmp/ called 'FlashPlayer'Ģ - Edit the 'Install Adobe Flash Player.app''s ist file (inside /Contents/) by adding the following to the end: NSUIElement

This is the way we deploy the Flash plug-in.
