Keep in mind the pkg has a postflight script in it that may or may not work properly when just deployed as is via Casper.

It uses a file structure that mimics the folder structure on the target system to know where the files should land during the install process.įor FlashPlayer, your best bet is to drill down into the pkg (Control click on it, choose "Show Contents") and navigate to /Contents/Resources/ and grab the "Adobe Flash Player.pkg" installer and use that. The DMG format for Casper is, for all intents and purposes, a proprietary Casper only format. You cannot use DMGs downloaded from a vendor "as is" and upload to Casper Admin and expect it to work.
#Adobe flash player installer dmg how to#
So I cant reverse engineer the working Flash installer.Ĭan anyone give me a step-by-step on how to use the Adobe supplied Flash Player DMG to create a package that will work using Remote to properly install it on my test Mac, then the rest of the Macs? Getting info in Casper Admin.app doesn't reveal anything special that I could see. dmg file we are deploying (an earlier version) that works fine. I looked to the Composer Manifests but that takes the install from my working Mac (it's not an imaging only Mac), but that's not what I wanted. Used Remote to send it to the test Mac and the plugin version didn't change. Next, I tried using Composer to convert the DMG to Source then to a PKG. I assume the install wasn't sucessful, darn! Looking at the Internet Plugins on the test Mac, the version didn't change. Then using Remote sent it to my test Mac. I first tried just plopping the DMG into the Casper Admin.app, indexed it, gave it a category, saved it to JSS. First I got the full installer from Adobe that I believe is self contained. In this case it's The Adobe Flash Player 11.3.300.257.
I did read the Admin Guide about Composer, but it wasn't clear enough for me to get my head around it, so excuse me for being a re-newbie (I used Casper first when it was new and NetOctopus- kripes! This guy is OLD- before that).
In the past I've created Packages by using snapshots. Hoping the group has some patience as they enlighten me with their genius. I RTFM and searched the discussions, but didn't find what I was looking for.
