Distributing Flash 6

I would like to roll out Flash6 to all the machines in the organisation. I have experience in packaging other applications, but none at all as far as IE Components go.

Go to macromedia's website first and register to download the redistributable version (they'll send you an email where to download from).

Then in your package detect the version of '
Flash.ocx' in the '..\System32\Macromed\Flash' directory (you can use the 'Get System Information' script action of SMS Installer to get the file version information.). If it's not at the latest, which is 6.0.7.9.0 I believe, then install the update. The update that you will get from Macromedia as described above will come with a couple OCX files and an INF which will need to be executed like this example:

item: Execute Program
  Pathname=%SYS32%\rundll32.exe
  Command Line=advpack.dll,LaunchINFSectionEx
%INST%\SourceFiles\SWFlash.inf,DefaultInstall,,12
  Default Directory=%INST%\Macromed
  Flags=00000110
end
