It's a beta though

Ah. Good news then. I just posted on the email I got from MacUpdate.

I was going to post about how relieved I was not to see another flash update this week. However, now that I think about it I'm sure we'll all get the chance to complain when another exploit comes out over the weekend and we get to do this all over again next week. See you then!

This time really: 11.7.700.169
FYI: if you sign up for the Enterprise Distribution, they allow you to download a dmg that contains a working .pkg
The consumer download does not have this.

Link?

I remember doing this before, but nothing from Adobe... Nice!!!

the last time I applied to the Adobe Enterprise Distribution list I never got a response... hopefully this time Adobe's application system is working properly....

*cough* skip the application *cough*

thanks. that link works great.

Yea, Adobe has a lot of mouths to feed. What better way than to have someone - who probably has nothing better to do - create unnecessary processes to make things that are already difficult just a bit more difficult? :)

Wait...did you know that "Creative Cloud is the future"?...

I take it the Adobe loathing is coming back Don after a bad week ;)

that still point to the installer app not a true pkg. so i still have to delve in and grab the pkg!

I found some code on the internet that I created a script out of to just download the installer right from adobe and install flash. It might not be the best solution but it does save me a lot of headaches.

Here is that script. I know I'm not good at commenting my code.
#! /bin/bash
hdiutil attach http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac/install_flash_player_11_osx.dmg
nstaller -verbose -pkg /Volumes/Flash Player/Install Adobe Flash Player.app/Contents/Resources/Adobe Flash Player.pkg -target /
while [[ -n `ps auxww | grep Installer | grep -v grep` ]]
do
sleep 2
done
hdiutil detach "/Volumes/Flash Player"

Now thats more like it. Hmm now need to make that work through a proxy.

Possibly run the command as the currently logged in user to download it but get it to install as root user.

If it works present it to the user through Self Service
