Is it just me or does the Flash 18.0.0.232 installer (for System Administrators) downloaded from the Flash Distribution site crash immediately upon launch? I've downloaded it 5 times and rebooted 4 just to make sure, but I'm willing to admit i'm having one of those days when I can't do something as simple as double click on a .pkg file.

Turns out the Macs I tried installing this (and every other .pkg file) suffered from the problem described here

It is the strangest thing that this would happen at all, but even stranger that it affected 3 Macs at the same time. I'm chalking it up to a poorly written script that was given to me by a colleague. Anyway, the fix was to copy the JavaLaunching.Framework from another (working) Mac to replace mine.

Just tried it on my Mac (10.10.4). Worked ok for me.

Very strange. I tried it on 3 other Macs with the same result. I went ahead and put it in a JSS policy and pushed it to the same Macs that it crashed on in the GUI and they installed just fine. As long as it works, I guess.

I downloaded the .pkg and installed fine on 10.10.4 GM and 10.10.5 Macs fine. FWIW.

Another "works fine here" vote. Used the AutoPkg package, no problems here.

Yep, use the AutoPKG-created pkg file without any issues, run manually or via Casper policy.
