Thank you, MrNxDmx, for pointing me to Body's post. I couldn't have made this addon otherwise.

Hi.
Can you update to 9? It's not beta in case you were wondering,
Thanks.

Post by **5eraph** » Tue Jul 04, 2006 5:20 pm

Updated.

I'll be updating this addon in the future by request only. For me, it has already served its purpose.

MrNxDmX · Post by **MrNxDmX** » Wed Jul 05, 2006 10:31 am

than you for update. and yes it has already served its purpose.

T D · Post by **T D** » Wed Jul 05, 2006 1:12 pm

One more qustion, is this compatible w/server 2003?
Thanks.

MrNxDmX · Post by **MrNxDmX** » Wed Jul 05, 2006 2:00 pm

windows server 2003 doesnt have flash player built in. only xp does.
but boooggy's and codejunkie's update packs have it installed. you can dig into them.
or edit w2k3 sysoc.inf file for installing it. but i cant provide infor for it.
but maybe i can make an addon for it

Post by **5eraph** » Wed Jul 05, 2006 5:22 pm

I don't have a copy of Windows 2003 to look at or test with so I can't officially support it, but it wouldn't be too hard to adapt the addon for use with it.

You'd need to add a line to SYSOC.INF to get Flash 9 installed. You'd also need to add a couple lines to DOSNET.INF and TXTSETUP.SIF to get Windows to copy the needed files. All of this can be done by adding the correct lines to my existing ENTRIES_FLASH.INI.

Unpack my addon, open my INI, then add this code to the end:

Code: Select all

[filenames]
maininf=swflash.inf

[sysoc]
Flash9=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,%maininf%,,7

[dosnet_files]
d1,%maininf%
d1,Flash.ocx

[txtsetup_dirs]
460 = system32\Macromed\Flash

[txtsetup_files]
%maininf%    = 100,,,,,,,20,0,0
Flash.ocx   = 100,,,,,,,460,0,0

After saving the file, repack the addon with Cab Tool, and integrate with nLite.

How is this different from 'Macromedia Flash Player 9.0.16.0 ActiveX Control' which is already there in RyanVM's UPdate Pack 2.0.7a?

Post by **5eraph** » Wed Jul 05, 2006 6:47 pm

No difference, Sanjay. My addon is not currently needed with newer versions of the RyanVM Update Pack, as I allude to in the first post.

I use Ryan's method, but not his added registry entries. Flash will work without them.

MrNxDmX · Post by **MrNxDmX** » Wed Jul 05, 2006 8:40 pm

made a test, i got ocx copied to right place but didnt get it registered correctly.
will try again later...
thanx for info 5eraph.

Post by **5eraph** » Thu Jul 06, 2006 5:46 am

If using boooggy's 2k3 Update Pack, you may have to unregister his version first. This can be done within my INF, or by removing the necessary section from the INF in his Update Pack.

Alex · Post by **Alex** » Mon Nov 27, 2006 8:09 pm

Dear Seraph,

Your previous flash version works flawlessly on my DellX1. Actually I am using it right now.

I was trying to update Your version to r28 by changing version number to 28 and one registry entry to binary value (I noticed that it changed to binary with r28 after some testing). So Dell disc does not matter at all!!!

Just pls do new version, it's all I beg for. I managed to install flash.ocx, as I wrote on Ryan' thread, and it works, but I have this mistake in event log and in setuperr.log after fresh install, that it was not registered properly. Just try updating Your pack and make fresh install, You will see!
But why?

Will be waiting for Your new release,

Thank You in advance,
Alex

Post by **5eraph** » Tue Nov 28, 2006 12:15 am

Your new release is ready, Alex.

I've tested it without problems, but I'm curious about what logs you check to verify an error-free installation. I ran a text search through the files in %SystemRoot% and its subdirectories for any instances of flash.ocx and found no matches except in LAYOUT.INF which just lists the file.

MrNxDmX · Post by **MrNxDmX** » Tue Nov 28, 2006 12:22 am

5eraph, that error is recorded in C:\WINDOWS\setuperr.log. I get it too.

Post by **5eraph** » Tue Nov 28, 2006 12:36 am

Well, after checking I can say that it's solved. No errors relating to FLASH.OCX.

Alex · Post by **Alex** » Tue Nov 28, 2006 5:59 am

Dear Seraph,

Thank you very much for the update. It's not that easy to update as I can see, I would not manage to do it on my own.

@MrNxDmX
Thank You for reporting the error. I had this error in mind.

I believe it's not necessary even to report if it works. If I stumble on something I will post here.

I hope it was not too much of trouble, Seraph, thank You!!!

Waited for one hour to download! Too many people trying to download!!!

Seraph, would You consider making separate windows and office updates addons? Ryan prefers microsoft update addon but it shows all integrated office hotfixes as not installed. And though it is known bug as Ryan says it does not inspire to use MS update.

Thank You very much for what You' done!!!

Good wind,
Alex

Post by **5eraph** » Tue Nov 28, 2006 6:34 am

You're welcome, Alex.

It was a learning experience. Hopefully one of many to come.

I'm afraid I can't help you with Office updates. I've stopped using it completely for the past six months or more, and I'm simply not motivated enough to find a pirate copy or shell out the hundreds of dollars for the most recent version.

There are free viewers available for browsing documents in Microsoft's proprietary formats and plenty of freeware to create documents in more "open" formats.

boooggy · Post by **boooggy** » Tue Nov 28, 2006 2:04 pm

found a little error in entries
in dosnet it is like this:
d1,flashutil.exe
and it should be
d1,flashutl.exe

Alex · Post by **Alex** » Tue Nov 28, 2006 2:09 pm

Hi Seraph,

Thank You once more!!!

I have legit copy of XP Office Xp. I needed windows and office updates addon, meaning integration of files needed to get to the page (update engine etc.)
Did You undersatnd me correctly?

Anyway, thank You very much for Flash addon, that was real pain in one place! Hope You learned this lesson quickly. So instead of flash.ocx now we have flash9b.ocx, not so smart as I thought on Ryan's side.

Good luck,
Alex

I made a booboo. Too long without sleep, I think.

Problem corrected. File and first post updated.

Nice catch, boooggy.

EDIT: Now I understand you, Alex. Did I mention I haven't slept yet? I'm a little sluggish at the moment.

Post by **5eraph** » Tue Nov 28, 2006 2:52 pm

Ok, Alex, I believe you're looking for these:

Windows Update ActiveX Control by Daemonforce
Office Update Engine by Xable

Integration of files to go to update pages

If I understand correctly, you just need xable's: [Release] Office Update Engine, and also [Release] Disable Microsoft Update in RyanVM Update Pack. Is it ok now?

Edit: Sorry 5eraph, you posted while i was typing. And i have misunderstood Alex's request.
Edit: I will make an addon for both WU and MU for guys who dont use Ryans Update Pack. That one has some redundants in it.

thanks !

I noticed the trick of renaming to flash9c.ocx at "runonce" step, is it mandatory and due to Flash 9.0.45 ?

Post by **5eraph** » Sun Apr 15, 2007 11:18 pm

I'm honestly not sure, OuTman, but if previous methods of integrating Flash are any indication then keeping the original file names prevents problems for the end-user later when the inevitable need to update Flash occurs.

Changed the way Flash is installed to better handle future updates.

MrNxDmX · Post by **MrNxDmX** » Mon Apr 16, 2007 4:01 am

Thanks for the addon 5eraph.
Just FYI, overwriting old files with newer ones works perfect. I did a test now with replacing files, and changing only the version number in RVMUpPck.inf file.
There is no errors in setuperr.log and when i go here, http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ , it says i have version 9,0,45,0 installed.
I tried regsvr32 on the dll but it couldnt register the file, though.

Post by **5eraph** » Mon Apr 16, 2007 4:54 am

I remove the [Flash.Register] section because it executes before my files are renamed, making regsvr32 necessary for my implementation when preserving file names.

...getting a 403 error when i try to download. happens in IE and firefox, and on different IP's. am i doing something wrong??

Post by **5eraph** » Fri Apr 20, 2007 5:23 am

If you use a software firewall or download accelerator, make certain that they are configured to allow sending referrer information with the download URL. This is necessary to prevent 3rd party sites from stealing Ryan's bandwidth by direct linking files from this site (like this addon, which Ryan was gracious enough to host for me).

Thanks, I'll test a cd this week-end.

Mitsuko Aninikkou · Post by **Mitsuko Aninikkou** » Fri May 04, 2007 8:22 am

While working on my own switchless installer for Flash and Shockwave I noticed that the latest Flash version for IE has files with a modified date of March 30, rather than the March 23 ones included in your pack. Also I noticed the .ocx file is called 'Flash9c.ocx' now. Dunno when RyanVM's Update Pack 2.20 is coming but you may want to update this addon.

Post by **5eraph** » Fri May 04, 2007 2:03 pm

I intentionally named the OCX using "b" to replace the existing file in Ryan's Update Pack. If you look within [ExtraFileEdits] then you'll see how I work around that.

I don't plan on updating this addon anytime soon. Ryan's next Update Pack should include the latest Flash (and integrate it a bit differently than he has previously). Patch Tuesday is only four days away.

Mitsuko Aninikkou · Post by **Mitsuko Aninikkou** » Fri May 04, 2007 2:38 pm

Cool, I thought you might be renaming it (only after I posted though

)

kelaniz · Post by **kelaniz** » Thu May 10, 2007 2:38 am

5eraph: Possibly a stupid question, but will Ryan's next pack obsolete this addon?

Post by **5eraph** » Thu May 10, 2007 3:47 am

That's the plan, kelaniz. This addon is just a stopgap measure until Ryan includes it in his Update Pack. The thread tag will be changed from [Release] to [Obsolete] when it happens.

kelaniz · Post by **kelaniz** » Thu May 10, 2007 10:05 pm

K. thought so. Thanks for the info.

Anyway, It's served its purpose quite well for me on 10+ builds.

In case people are curious, there's a beta of an upcoming release (.60). Found out about it via Mozilla's bug tracking system. Supposedly fixes some high CPU usage issues, though dunno if those issues were specific only to the non-IE incarnation of Flash.
