Installing Adobe and Java across network

[marsdenprimary]

Hello!

 

We use Software Distribution through Group Policy but I wondered how to deploy Adobe Flash, Adobe Reader, Adobe Air and Java? Is there an msi anywhere for the latest versions?

You need to be registered to get their downloads. They then send you links that you access the downloads from.

 

Search for Adbobe distribution.

Hi Speckytecky,

 

Done this but still no email. I would have assumed it would be instant but is there a delay in getting a response?

I've recently started using PDQ Deploy which handles updates and new versions for loads of products, including Adobe Flash, Reader, Air and Java... not free, but well worth checking out... Deployment Software - PDQ Deploy Edited December 5, 2016 by RichCowell

How much does it cost? Could I get by with the free version?

Not for the software you've mentioned, you'll need at least the pro, but will probably find you'll need the Enterprise which is $450pa (no UK prices so depends on exchange rate) - click the link for Government / Education when you click to buy...

mine came through the next day, I guess it depends how much of a backlog there is in the system.

+1 for the PDQ suite well worth the money.

**UPDATE*** Email came through and i can download the software, although it's not letting me download the Flash MSI...Internet Explorer-Active X version... anyone else had this issue? The others download no problem...!

I'm using SCCM Application Deployment with Powershell App Deployment Toolkit. Works really well once you get your head round it.

I'm having the same issue here. I can get the NPAPI for Firefox, but can't get the PPAPI or Active-X versions. clicking on the links does nothing.

Not sure if it was fluke, but I've managed to get all of the relevant MSIs downloaded by using different browsers!

 

PPAPI from IE; NPAPI from Chrome and Active-X from Firefox. What a faf...
