Don't know why it doesn't work, but the plugin is for non IE browsers, and the activex for IE

You need the msi and NOT the exe to deploy. You need to get a license to deploy it at Adobe - Flash Player Licensing and then you'll get a link to the MSI.

 

Otherwise it is possible to deploy it using a batch script from the executable with the /silent switch IIRC.

Yes, we've installed the plugin for laptops running firefox and the activex for all others

Yep, that's what we have - the msi following being granted the licence

 

The activex and plugin are installing - yet flash isn't working

If you go to Tools -> "Manage Add-ons" in Internet Explorer and select "All add-ons" are you seeing anything like "Shockwave Flash Object" and what is its status?
