[wpkg-users] Flash 16 ActiveX Plugin

[Stefan Pendl]

If you check out the package I posted in my reply, you will see it is 
not so complex and serves me well. I started out with checking files 
too, but the installer of flash has proven to be very stable, so I 
simplified my package.

    About this very same package, I started to looking at it today
    (nothing to do before Christmas...kkk)

    I read the wiki about it:
    http://wpkg.org/Flash_Player#Adobe_Flash_Player_16
    and could not understand why some options where made:

    *1) why there are two extra variables:*
          <variable name="NPAPI_VERSION"  value="16.0.0.235" />
           <variable name="ACTIVEX_VERSION"  value="16.0.0.235">

    if we could use just "PKG_VERSION" ? I could live with just one! ;)


    *2) Why we need to rename downloaded files* if "PKG_SOURCE" already
    use a different directory to hold all files of that version ?

    *3) Wouldn´t be easier to just create FOUR variables *for each part
    of PKG_VERSION and use them.
    Something like:
    VERSION_MAJOR = 16
    VERSION_MINOR = 0
    VERSION_FIX = 0
    VERSION_UPDATE = 235

    This way users never will mistype the underscore and point in all
    next updates .



    I´m sure there are a good explanation... so please let me know about it.
    Otherwise, I´ll update the package for my own use and upload to wiki
    page.


    Regards and Merry Christmas

        Just testing Flash 16 on Windows 8 and it was failing with an
        error code of 1031 (install_flash_player_16_active_x.exe"
        /install). When I run the package interactively, the installer
        gives me the message "Your MS IE includes the latest version of
        Flash installed.  Windows Updates will inform you blah blah..."

        This is somewhat vexing as, per the wiki, I'm using the same
        package for XP/Win7/Win8 and for IE/FFox.

        Does anybody have a clever solution before I split the packages up?

        Regards Jon
