# Enter your full custom Adobe distribution URL between the quotes below, including the 'auth=' stringĬustomDistURL='put your full dist url here'

To use it, simply plug in your full custom distribution download URL in place of where it says 'put your full dist url here' #!/bin/sh Its just some base code with no error checking to speak of going on, so it'll need to be fleshed out a bit to account for errors, timeouts, possible corrupted downloads and so on. Not very thoroughly tested, and I'll need to test again once the official change from Adobe happens later this month, but for now this works. Just because I thought I'd experiment over the last hour with it, here is some code for anyone interested in getting a download of the latest Adobe Flash Player package installation, which can use your very own unique download link you get now when you sign up with them. Then it gets the mms.cfg, and Flash auto-updates from then on. When I image a computer, it's getting the last version of Flash I downloaded from Adobe - I think it's an early 19.x.x.x release.

What I'm doing now is deploying a package containing that file, with that option set. It turns out that when you set the 'Allow updates automatically' option, what happens is that the file at /Library/Application Support/Macromedia/mms.cfg gets this line set: SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1. So the computers don't automatically update (but they will complain when Flash gets out of date). You know how, when you're installing Flash manually, it asks if you want to allow Adobe to install Flash updates automatically? It's the default option, and you take it, and that computer will automatically update Flash from then on.īut when you deploy the Adobe Flash package, that option doesn't get set by default. I got tired of checking for Flash updates every week, and repackaging them when they came out.
