"Run As" to install Flash - How?

[PeterGriffin]

I want to install "Flash" on serveral client computers (mostly XP some 2000) in a Windows 2000 Domain. Is there a script I can write that will install flash with the permissions of the administrator? I found THIS utility and it looks like it may work, but I'm not sure. Does anyone else know how to accomplish this and get through the entire flash setup without haveing to ask the user for anything?


Thanks!

I have used this technique to install service packs to clients with moderate success. All I can say is try it and good luck. I have known others who have done the same and had great success.

sysinternals.com has some great (& free) utilities.

Best way: create a GPO with the Flash Player MSI to be installed...

Macromedia does provide a Windows MSI installer for the Flash Player distribution. Customers can license the Windows MSI installer by selecting the Flash Player only licensing option for Intranet distribution. Customers will then be sent a link to download the Windows MSI installer. from http://www.macromedia.com/support/sh...aq.html#item-5


Alternately you could allow the user to install it:

If you don't have Administrator access to your Windows NT, 2000, or XP equipped computer, you may not be able to install the Flash Player successfully. Permissions can be tricky but, in general, you should be able to install and use the Macromedia Flash Player if your system Administrator has provided full access to the Macromed directory (C:\Winnt\System32\Macromed\).
