Adobe Shockwave Player
Myong Killings
Shockwave and Flash Player are 2 different products. You're posting to the Flash Player forums, which is completely separate from Shockwave Player. I was going to move this post to the Adobe Shockwave Player (Read-Only) forum for someone familiar with Shockwave Player assist, however, now that Adobe has end-of-lifed Shockwave, the forum has been set to read-only.
To uninstall Flash Player silently, use the standalone uninstaller with the command line -uninstall (e.g. uninstall_flash_player.exe -uninstall). Note that the uninstaller will *not* uninstall the embedded versions of Flash Player (PPAPI for Chromium-based browsers and Flash Player ActiveX Control on Windows 8 and above for Internet Explorer/Edge). The embedded versions are managed by the respective browser vendors.
Note that if you have a custom mms.cfg file modifying the update options, running the standalone uninstaller will reset the update options to the default update options (notification auto-update). If this is the case, you'll want to deploy the custom mms.cfg file when redeploying Flash Player.
Thank you Maria for the response, but I am talking about shockwave... will be removing it out of our environment since Adobe will no longer be supporting it and I need a uninstall package to deploy out...
For the Shockwave Player EXE installer, I searched in the Shockwave forums and tech notes and found Find current installers for Adobe Shockwave Player which indicates that the uninstaller is saved at C:\Windows\System32\Adobe\Shockwave (C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Adobe\Shockwave on a 64-bit OS). This tech note is for version 10 and the uninstaller file name seems to have changed from unwise.exe to uninstaller.exe at some point since then. I installed the most recent version of Shockwave and used this uninstaller with the /S switch (uninstaller.exe /S) and it uninstalled Shockwave Flash silently.
I had shockwave flash installed on Ubuntu 15.10 with Firefox. Now I have updated to 16.04, it appears to no longer be available. Or at least I can't find it in the usual ways. I understand it is no longer updated, but where can I get the last version available?Where is it to be found? Or should I re-install Ubuntu 15.10?
A: Shockwave Player displays content created with Adobe Director 11.5 software such as high-performance multiuser games, interactive 3D product simulations, online entertainment, and training applications. By using extensions, developers can extend the capabilities of Shockwave Player to play back custom-built applications.
Flash Player displays content created with Flash Professional CS5. This content includes web applications, website user interfaces, interactive online advertising, and rich Internet applications (RIAs) created using Flex.
Then do: sudo apt install browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash .If you get any message of a missing file or any error message, go to -flashplugin , select "adobe-flashplugin" 32 or 64-bit deb package and select to open it with "software install(default)". Softaware center will open on adobe-flashplugin page. Press install, then restart your browser and you are done. I hope it helps !
One of the issue that I have which I didn't find any answer is Adobe flash player, I excluded the site from decryption but still after downloading the flash player exe upadte file I get "connection error" from the installation.
And what are you doing with other clients that installed on end points and tries to communicate outside the ssl decryption is breaking the connection because the client doesn't like the interfere or timeouts.
I make an exception for *.adobe.com because of this issue; but you could create a "log-all" URL-Filtering profile and attach that to a test machine and a test policy and see what URLs are actively being hit when you attempt this communication if you want to not utilize a wildcard.

Anyway i wanted youtube to work with firefox sbut i did not want to click on the link that was on youtube.com becouse i have heard its better to download stuff like this directly from the program makers website.
So i went to www.adobe.com and downloaded the flash player, but when trying to install it it did not work i saw it was running in the task manager for a short while then it disappeared and when going on youtube it was the same upgrade your adobe flash player message.
So i downloaded it from there with firefox to see if it would make any difference but it did not work either!. Then i got a bit paranoid when i saw that the file had not the same name as the file from www.adobe.com webpage.
Internet Explorer has a separate version of Flash Player from Firefox. You must install Flash Player for Firefox if you want Flash content to work in Firefox (and a handful of other browsers, like Seamonkey and Opera).
Flash Player (labeled "Shockwave Flash" inside the browser) and Shockwave Player (labeled "Shockwave for Director" inside the browser) are two different plug-ins that handle different content. The former is very popular, while the latter is more rarely used. You can find a comparison for developers below:
I was having this problem as well, did everything I could find on the net to try to resolve it, no help..... Adobe was at the latest version, then I realized what I had changed prior to the issue beginning. I had installed SPYBOT search and destroy.
Don't think that the problem is solved. I have Windows 8.1. Firefox keeps asking me to upgrade Adobe Flash Player. When I upgrade it, Firefox still keeps asking me for the upgrade. E.g. when trying to open , the page says: "Dieser Service erfordert eine aktuellere Version des Adobe Flash Players. Bitte aktualisieren Sie ihre Software" = "This service requires a more recent version of Adobe Flash Player. Please update your software." So I do: I download Flash Player 12, version 12.0.0.70, from , file install_flashplayer12x32_ltr5x64d_awc_aih.exe. I install it, then restart Firefox: SAME PROBLEM! There is a basic incompatibility between Firefox 27.0.1 and Flash Player 12.0.0.70 !!! Please fix that bug.In Google Chrome, there's not any problem like this. Should I switch to Chrome? I'd prefer not to.
I think I found the solution now: The problem was: I had deactivated the "Shockwave Flash 12.0.0.70" add-on, for security reasons. Now I re-activated it - and the problem is gone: There's no more error message asking me to install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.E.g. the speedcheck on runs fine now.The problem is the misleading error message: When the Shockwave Flash is deactivated, it causes the error message "You need to install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player" - which unfortunately is NOT the solution. Re-installing Adobe Flash Player won't help! The solution instead is just activating the "Shockwave Flash" plug-in.PROPOSAL: Whenever Shockwave Flash is deactivated, Firefox should issue a warning to the user: "Your Flash Player plug-in ("Shockwave Flash") is deactivated; for watching videos you should better re-activate it; upgrading Adobe Flash Player will NOT help."Hope that helps!
I know there is the manager in the Utilities folder, and you can uninstall it with that. But this does not look scriptable to me. And I need a deployable method as there are about 300 Macs with it on.
Has anyone tested this yet? Here are some questions I have about this:
Does this block flash content from running in browsers? If not, how would I go about doing that?
Does this script need to be run on a continual basis? It seems like its based on the logged in user so it should run continually whenever a new user/different user is logged in? Maybe have it set to run "Once per user"?
Anyone have anything to report about their experiences with this?

With no Flash player installed, Apps like Safari will not run any Flash content. However Google Chrome has an inbuilt extension for running flash content, for us this is not turned on by default so Chrome will ask each time to run the extension. If you are running Google admin to manage your google accounts, you can use that to stop the extension from in there.
I've created a smart computer group to show how many Macs have Flash installed, luckily for us we have just moved to Jamf so all our Macs have pretty much been Erased therefore we only have a small number of Macs with Flash installed (Mainly my test Macs). For my settings on the Flash smart group i've used Application Title is Adobe Flash Player Install Manager.app and this has pulled back all Macs with Flash installed.
does anyone know if the rtroutron adobe flash player uninstall script is 100% silent? should the adobe flash player popup appear if a user is logged in at the time the script runs? logged in on another test laptop to see if this popup happens again .
