Hi,
We use the background update method using extended support release files.
Clients updated to 18.0.0.232 last patch. They are not grabbing the 18.0.0.241 update.
I noticed with version 18 there are /11, /17 and /18 directories in the background update resources cab file. Which set of files should I be using?
Thanks.
Hi,
All files that are included in the cab file must be posted to the server. There have been changes made to the background update service since it was first released. To maintain backwards compatibility and support new features all directories must be posted. Delete what you have on your server, extract and post the contents of the cab file just as they are in the cab file (same directory tree structure) to your server. it should look like the following:
\pub\flashplayer\update\current\sau\

Hi netadmin03,
To investigate further, please provide the following:
Please see How to share a document‌ for instructions on uploading the requested files. Post the link to the uploaded files in your reply.
While there are 3 different directories in the update resource cab file, they all contain the same update files. The update service knows which directory to get the update from.

Hi Maria,
Thank you for responding to my post. Here is the link to my mms.cfg and FlashInstall.log:

Hi netadmin03,
Unfortunately, the FlashInstall.log file does not contain any warnings or errors, just informational output.
How are you running the SAU Service? Are you running the Service, Task, or double-clicking on the FlashPlayerUpdateService.exe file in the Macromed\Flash directory?
Also, please verify that the updated resources are posted correctly to the server.

Hi Maria,
I started the service and ran the task from task scheduler.
In my first post I mentioned that I see three sets of update files in the background resources cab file. In /11, /17 and /18 directories. Which set of files should I use?
I posted the files to this location /pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/11/install
and the version.xml to /pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/11/xml

\currentmajor.xml
SAU should work as expected.
