DisableProductDownload seems not to work

[Guest]

Hello,

I have been asked to block the installation of the Adobe Connect Add-in for security reasons and I am looking into the below configuration option posted on the Flash Player Administration Guide.

_________________________________________

DisableProductDownload

DisableProductDownload = [ 0, 1 ] (0 = false, 1 = true)

If this value is set to 0 (the default), Flash Player can install native code applications that are digitally signed and delivered by Adobe. Adobe uses this capability to deliver Flash Player updates through the developer-initiated Express Install process, and to deliver the Adobe Acrobat Connect screen-sharing functionality. If this value is set to 1, these capabilities are disabled.

_______________________________

I used this feature with Adobe Flash Player 10.3 and tried installing the add-in from Step 4 HERE and it worked.

I was expecting the download to fail since DisableProductDownload was set to 1.

Is Adobe Connect Add-in not a product by Adobe? Is the documentation incorrect? What am I missing?

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the reply. I have filed a bug report as requeted.

Adobe Flash Player 10.3  -  Bug 3195002

I hope this feature gets corrected soon, considering the ammount of security vulnerabilities identified in periodically in Flash Player, this would really help to mitigate some risks.

Thanks again

Ernesto.
