You might have that backwards....see here

You're right - something is amiss somewhere.

Time to go back and check on what I was doing at the time.

[DesertJerry]

I updated both Flash Players to version 10.1.51.45 (I know you don't show betas in addons.)

When I run AutoPatcher in Windows Addons one listing is black, as expected: Macromedia (Adobe) Flash Player 10.0.45.2 for MFON and the other: Macromedia (Adobe) Flash Player 10.0.45.2 for IE is still blue.

I checked the registry and the listing for both had Flash Player 10.1.51.45

Previously, when I had done this both turned from blue to black - now only one lisiting changes color. Something is not detecting correctly, I would think.

i'm not so sure. flahplayer has only file detections. if they where updated, the files us to change. can you please check those:

[DetectionFile]
FilePath=system32:\Macromed\Flash\
FileName=Flash10e.ocx
FileVersion=>10.0.45.2

FilePath=system32:\Macromed\Flash\
FileName=FlashUtil10e.exe
FileVersion=>10.0.45.2

due "only file detections", autopatcher works in "this and this" mode. so booth files shall be untouched to be properly detected.

the not ie version has an registry detection, so this one works in "this or this" mode:
RegistryPath=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Adobe Flash Player Plugin
KeyName=DisplayVersion
KeyValue=10.0.45.2

[DetectionFile]
FilePath=system32:\Macromed\Flash\
FileName=NPSWF32.dll
FileVersion=10.0.45.2

FilePath=system32:\Macromed\Flash\
FileName=NPSWF32_FlashUtil.exe
FileVersion=10.0.45.2

if you can, please check those files, to see if in deed you have another version installed

The difference between the two is obvious when you look at FileVersion: one has => and the other = that's why one stays blue and the other is black. The => means equal to or greater than.

Fix the detection and they will both be shown as black when a later version is insatlled. :P

[Cristiano]

i'm not sure, but that was changed due an problem with => and certain files. also, another issue: at least with the normal user version, the files us to change every single time than a new version arrives. but no problem, that => will be added tomorrow

[DesertJerry]

If you leave them both at = and not at => then when a user installs a later but beta version then the color reverts back to black. I would think you would want to only have final versions, not beta versions, officially listed and thereby resulting in a color change to blue. B)

[Cristiano]

ok. the extras script was updated to add an registry detection and allow the detection of flash player works as "at least this version".

Comparing the previous and current .apm files, I noticed that registry detection for flashplayer_IE_x86.apm
was removed, but flashplayer_notIE_x86.apm still has registry detection. Why the inconsistency?

[Cristiano]

right now, i don't remember the reason. i will check that

thanks

now i'm puzzled. i was updating silverlight and i've remembered about this issue. booth flash players has booth file and registry detections.

this is from flashplayer_IE_x86.apm:

Spoiler

[DetectionRegistry]
RegistryPath=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Adobe Flash Player ActiveX
KeyName=DisplayVersion
KeyValue=10.0.45.2

[DetectionFile]
FilePath=system32:\Macromed\Flash\
FileName=Flash10e.ocx
FileVersion=>10.0.45.2

FilePath=system32:\Macromed\Flash\
FileName=FlashUtil10e.exe
FileVersion=>10.0.45.2

and this is from flashplayer_notIE_x86.apm:

Spoiler

[DetectionRegistry]
RegistryPath=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Adobe Flash Player Plugin
KeyName=DisplayVersion
KeyValue=>10.0.45.2

[DetectionFile]
FilePath=system32:\Macromed\Flash\
FileName=NPSWF32.dll
FileVersion=>10.0.45.2

FilePath=system32:\Macromed\Flash\
FileName=NPSWF32_FlashUtil.exe
FileVersion=10.0.45.2

so, booth has file and registry detections, but a couple of months ago, one of them didn't had an registry detection. are you sure that this lack of registry detection is from the current version?

I went ahead and APUped the Addons again and the Flash .apm files were replaced and now look fine. The files I
had previously were:

flashplayer_IE_x86.apm 1795 11.03.2010 16:11
flashplayer_notIE_x86.apm 1964 11.03.2010 16:12

I probably forgot to update Addons.

Thanks

[Cristiano]

maybe. but don't worry. this happens

Flash Player 10.1.53.64 has been released - Ax and plugin; final - not rc. :rolleyes:

[DesertJerry]

Adobe AIR 2.0.2.12610 updated - why is this not listed in AutoPatcher? :o
