How does Munki handle DMGs containing single apps that actually are installers?

[physh]

I am exploring Munki and I got some unexpected results.
Adobe releases Flash Player as a single App packaged in a DMG... But
this app is supposed to be run as it's an installer. Unfortunately,
Munki just copies Flash Player Install Manager to /Applications.

Is there a way around this? Manually changing the type under
installer_type maybe? To what?

Thanks

If you look through the archives, you will discover that Adobe stuff is complicated and that every Adobe item needs to be handled slightly differently.

According to my notes for Flash Player, you need to copy out of the dmg Contents -> Resources -> Adobe Flash Player.pkg. Then run that through munkiimport.

I used an installs key for 2 items: /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/flashplayer.xpt and /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin

Another reason to _love_ Adobe. Adobe PC apps deployment is no better.
Thanks for your help.
