Flash installation check

Hi,

I would like to know how can I make the installer check if the user has Flash and QuickTime plugins installed in his computer, and if he doesn't, install them.

Thanks.

Hi,

You can add them as Prerequisites. For the Flash player plugin, you need to determine the version of the following file:

Code: Select all

[SystemFolder]Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32.dll
Therefore, in the Prerequisites tab (from the Media page), add a new Prerequisite. In the "Install Conditions" tab of the "New Prerequisite" dialog, select "File Version" in the "Criteria" combobox, and enter the file path shown above in the "File To Search" text field. You can also set the minimum version of the Flash player plugin that is required to be installed on the target machine.

The process is similar for the Quicktime plugin. However I am afraid that I do not know what is the Search condition in this case.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Denis
