Unfortunetly, the examples don't work right! :-(
Macromedia MX is installed on my system ( with flash 6 integrated ), and after it i installed the Flash Player 8.

After it the values that were given back to the version numbers: 6.0.21.0 and 7.0.19.0.

How will I know the right version number?

Thank you in anticipation!

This code to return Macromedia Flash Player version of the default player for the .spl and .swf. If you run "file.swf" from the explorer you can check it. This code doesn't return version of the default browser flash plugin.

Name "Output"

OutFile "Output.exe"



!include "WordFunc.nsh"

!insertmacro WordFind



!include "FileFunc.nsh"

!insertmacro GetFileVersion



Section

	ReadRegStr $0 HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT "ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash\shell\open\command" ""

	IfErrors notinst



	${WordFind} '$0' ' %1' '-1{' $0

	${WordFind} '$0' '"' '+1' $0



	${GetFileVersion} '$0' $1

	IfErrors notinst





	MessageBox MB_OK '$$0={$0}$\n$$1={$1}' IDOK end



	notinst:

	MessageBox MB_OK 'Macromedia Flash Player is not installed'



	end:

I'm sorry... :-( Question bad. :-(
Aright question: return version of the default browser flash plugin?
Default browser - only - Internet Explorer.

InstructorOctober 28, 2005 at 11:26 AM#

For Internet Explorer:

Name "Output"

OutFile "Output.exe"



!include "FileFunc.nsh"

!insertmacro GetFileVersion



Section

	ReadRegStr $0 HKCR "CLSID\{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000}\InprocServer32" ""

	IfErrors notinst



	${GetFileVersion} '$0' $1

	IfErrors notinst



	MessageBox MB_OK '$$0={$0}$\n$$1={$1}' IDOK end



	notinst:

	MessageBox MB_OK 'Macromedia Flash Player component for IE is not found'



	end:

This doesn't work for flash version 8 as it installs ocx with another name (flash8.ocx).

Afrow UKJune 13, 2006 at 1:12 PM#

But it has Push "flash.ocx" for the function call which you can change (or did you add that in just now?)

So, I need two calls in order to determine flash version - one for flash 8 and (in case of failure) for flash with previous version?

Afrow UKJune 13, 2006 at 1:18 PM#

I guess so yes 🙂

Can NSIS be used to download the flash player if it can not find the proper version?

JasonFriday13June 15, 2006 at 8:31 PM#

Yes. Use the NSISdl plugin (included with NSIS), or the InetLoad plug-in to download it.
