msi installed flash per the web site you suggested. MSI to install? The -uninstall command does not work with. Would you want to manually check over 2000 machines to find out which one it has to run the -uninstall switch? And what if that user used the. Using the FlashUtil.exe with -uninstall switch is problematic across so many machines because Adobe has changed the FlashUtil name with almost every version that has come out (IE FlashUtil64_17_0_0_190_ActiveX.exe, FlashUtil64_18_0_0_194_ActiveX, FlashUtil_ActiveX). As I indicated in my first post, the Uninstall_Flash_Player.exe is not working reliably. I need to detect if Flash is installed, what version is installed and uninstall if necessary on over 2000 computers.
#UNINSTALL FLASH INSTALL#
The problem with your recommendation of Silent install command line argument doesn't work | Flash Player 10.1, is that it is designed for single computer use. On my Win 7 box, the uninstaller removed the registry values tied to the keys, but not the keys them selves and also remove most but not all the files under C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash, but not the directory its self.Ĭan anyone help me put together a solid, consistent way to uninstall various old version of flash that I can automate with PowerShell? Only running user processes were regedit, file explorer and powershell, so no flash dependent applications. Registry entries are still there, files are still in C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash. I have a Win 8.1 test machine with Flash 17.0.0.188 on it and when I run the uninstaller, it completes just fine (no errors), but nothing has changed. This seems to have inconsistent results at best.
#UNINSTALL FLASH DOWNLOAD#
The common thread on the internet and Adobe Support seems to be to download the most recent Uninstall_Flash_Player.exe and use the -uninstall switch to run silently. I need help removing the previous versions first.
REALLY Frustrating and I cant do that for over 2000 computers. Going from having no Flash Player management to some management has been a gigantic PIA! This page Uninstall Flash Player | Windows says to run the uninstaller and then go manually remove the files, they don't mention that there are registry keys that also need to be removed and that you cant manually remove anything without taking over ownership from "Trusted Installer" and assigning "full control" to another user or group in the security GUI. Since Flash Players most recent vulnerability has been posted, the security team at my company has asked me (the System Center Admin) to uninstall all previous versions of Flash player (= 18.0.0.194).
