I don't mind when open source or freeware creators add such options to their installers so they can make a little money, but Adobe?!! Greedy SOBs. They get money for including the options for installing other software in their installer. ![]() Why? The answer, as semllbs says, is that Adobe is looking to make more money. After I go the extra mile to upgrade their sh*tty product, I find that Adobe has the nerve to try to foist a copy of McAfee Antivirus on me. In order to make sure the updates work, I always look for a manual, standalone installer for Flash player (which for some reason is not easily found). If an error message shows at all, it is typically an obscure one. ![]() Heres what Ninite Co-Founder Patrick Swieskowski had to say, Adobe asked us to take that off our free. On the thirty or so 64bit Windows 7 machines that we have in our department, the "automatic" Flash updates almost NEVER work. Until last week, did list Adobe Flash Player. Adobe doesn't care about making life easier for system administrators or for ordinary folk, otherwise they would not block ninite or hassle them (see .uk/1/adobe_says_no/).
