Best practice for installing Adobe Flash Player updates

Im new to Casper and using it with some luck, but cannot for the life of me get a decent package installer created to deploy Adobe Flash Player version 11.3.300.265 in OS X Lion.

I've tried composer 6 or 7 times, but no luck, even tried the package creator in Apple Remote Deskop, still nada!

If someone could clue me in on what I'm doing wrong, I'd be so happy!

Thank you, we are testing as we speak. Why can't Adobe do something like this thats so simple?

Well in a sense they are. They just like to wrap their true pkg installers inside another installer application with a prettier interface than the standard one PKGs can provide.

FWIW, Apple is doing this as well with Lion and now Mountain Lion installs. The "real" installer is the InstallESD.dmg buried inside the "Install OS X Lion/Mountain Lion.app" application, and for enterprise deployment purposes we have to drill down and pull that DMG out. Same with Flash Player except its a PKG.
