Silent switch no longer working?

[BigRedEO]

I am installing install_flash_player_19_active_x.exe via a batch script (the batch script is doing a number of other things beside this install) and the /quiet switch does not seem to work with this executable file as it has worked with all before it.

Has this changed?  Is there a new silent switch?  I tested my .exe at the command line - install_flash_player_19_active_x.exe /quiet does nothing.  Drops me back to the command line and Flash Player does not get installed.  Without the switch, I go through the couple steps and it installs just fine.  MUST BE DONE SILENTLY as there will be zero user interaction.

Finally found that -install works.

Hi BigRedEO,

The silent argument was changed from /quiet to -install in Flash Player 10.1 release (Silent install command line argument doesn't work | Flash Player 10.1)

I am also curious about the switches for the downloads found off the main website and not the distribution list.  Since the Distribution list is going away unless you have a "license to distribute," what if any, are the switches for these installers?  I'm referring to the main webpage where you select Menu and click on Adobe Flash Player, chose an operating system and the version type (FP for IE ActiveX/FP for Firefox NPAPI).

Hi adamtx79,

The online installer (downloaded from get.adobe.com/flashplayer), which I believe is what you are referring to, does not support silent installation.
