This way, you don't have to bother with editing the files and only need to zip the dmg and replace the attached file on the Managed Install. To make managing the ongoing updates of the installer, I've simplified this to just use the original dmg from Adobe. sudo launchctl bsexec `sudo ps axFlash\ Player\ Install\ Manager -install
In order to allow installation without a logged in user, use the following Installation Command (all one line):. Zip the edited Adobe Flash Player Installer.app and add as a Software Inventory Item. Edit the ist file in the Adobe Flash Player Installer.app to not show a dock item with the following commands:ĭefaults write ~/Desktop/Install\ Adobe\ Flash\ Player.app/Contents/Info LSUIElement -int 1Ĭhmod ugo+r ~/Desktop/Install\ Adobe\ Flash\ Player.app/Contents/ist. dmg to writeable media/volume (Desktop in my example) Copy Adobe Flash Player Installer.app from the installer. You can successfully deploy Flash Player for Mac clients using the Adobe's preffered method with a little tweaking of the application bundle: Installation via the extracted pkg from within the application bundle does not update the Adobe Flash Player Installer Manager application located in /Applications/Utilities if it already exists, which can cause issues with inventory and reporting of an otherwise successful managed installation.
Adobe's only officially supported method of installation of Adobe Flash Player on OS X clients is via the installer application bundle in the Install Flash Player.
