That's the name of the game these days. Everyone does it. Only publish stub/web installers so you can include crapware and who knows what else. However it's not just that. I archive (full) install packages as I have multiple machines, VM's etc. I download one copy (for each O/S etc). I don't need/want to run a stub/web installer multiple times. FYI even if web/stub installers are the only option I use this trick. Run Wireshark, or other network monitoring tool, and then the installer. Once it starts downloading cancel (if you wish). Then search the Wireshark log for .exe/.msi and find the real installer URL. Then paste that to your browser and voila you have the full install package. Some vendors go to great lengths to hide them. -- Don't feed trolls--it only makes them grow!

angussf Premium join:2002-01-11 Tucson, AZ kudos:4	reply to antdude Although the Distribution page claims the following: Adobe Flash Player Distribution \| Adobe "Flash Player 11.4.402.278" the MSI installers install version 11.4.402.267. Still. GRRRR! Also, when I downloaded the consumer version of the installer and let it do it's thing on a test system, I got 11.4.402.278 BUT it didn't remove whatever other version (11.3.x or 11.4.402.267) I had installed using the MSI installer. DOUBLE GRRR! I sure wish Adobe would get its act together. -- Angus S-F GeoApps, Tucson, Arizona, USA »geoapps.com/ »www.linkedin.com/in/angussf »geoapps.blogspot.com/

therube join:2004-11-11 Randallstown, MD	reply to kickass69 Just downloaded the msi (plugin) & got .278. 96d41c47b8855b7dadf7b7778ad6c1cd install_flash_player_11_plugin.msi Note that other then the "msi" stuff, the msi & exe are exactly the same, as would be expected. IOW, the msi has within a Data1.cab, & within that .cab is the exe, install_flash_player_11_plugin_11.4.402.278.exe. OK, ditto with the msi (active x), 278 8f23f29ce09d7354ab3562f1c2d08abe install_flash_player_11_active_x.msi
