Download the latest .MSI release of the Adobe Flash plugin and ActiveX installs from this site:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html

Then create your custom “mms.cfg” file:

• Create or open an mms.cfg file in a text editor (notepad works).
• Add the following line to disable the auto-update:

AutoUpdateDisable=1

• Save the mms.cfg file with UTF-8 encoding.
• Install using a standard silent MSI install command string:

start /w "" msiexec.exe /i "%~dp0install_flash_player_11.5.502.146_active_x.msi" /qn /norestart /log "C:\Windows\Temp\FlashIE.log"
IF EXIST "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash" (
 XCOPY "%~dp0mms.cfg" "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\" /heyi
) ELSE (
 XCOPY "%~dp0mms.cfg" "C:\WINDOWS\System32\Macromed\Flash\" /heyi
)

Copy the created mms.cfg file to the appropriate location based on the installed OS.

• Windows XP, Vista, 7 32 bit —C:\WINDOWS\System32\Macromed\Flash
• Windows 7 64 bit — C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
