Adobe Flash Player

Any possibility the browser was running during install?

nope!

I know the problem! It starts with an AD and ends with a BE!

If Safari doesnt see something that is odd. If it was other browsers I'd say make sure it has a higher priority at imaging. However, if you are pushing with remote or a policy I'm not sure.

You make me paranoid now to check it again. What version are trying to install?

We've been installing Flash Player 10 using the pkg without issues. We run it as a startup item to ensure the browsers aren't open.

There may be some apps that require someone be logged in at install, at least in Adobes case. This is being found possibly in CS4 with Photoshop and InDesign, but I can't confirm that.

Try it while someone is logged in and see what happens?

I've got the latest Flash Player installing just fine with Casper 6.01.

Login policy...so a user is essentially logged in when yours runs. Interesting.

I do 99% of my software pushes as login policies. This guarantees the

Also, if someone's waiting for an update then all I have to tell him is "Log
out and log in again."

Bigger pushes such as OS updates take longer and require restarts. I'll
handle those by caching them ahead of time and then scheduling an install or
creating a log out policy.
