download flash issue...

[VJ]

Hello,

I'm trying to download Flash 7 for a computer that has no connection to internet. However, the MS-version installs immediatly, without giving you a chance to save it.

Any ideas on how I could download flash7installer.exe (for IE) ?

You can get an installer for Netscape and Opera, but it still requires an inet connection. AFAIK, you cannot install flash 7 without an inet connection, unless you have the actual Flash MX 2004 program.

Ok, thanks...

Perhaps I can find a version on some free-internet CD...

Two things:

Use Irfanview. It can play flash but I am not sure which version.

Or, grab the flash.ocx and flash.inf files from a machine that has it installed. Put them in the same directory on the non-internet machine. Right-click on the inf file and choose install.

Edit:
Forget Irfanview. I just found out it only does flash version 4.

Thanks!
I will give that a try... (when I get round to it... )

Apparently Flash7 is different. It needs swflash.inf, getflash.exe, getflash.manifest, and flash.ocx. When you take getflash.manifest, change it to getflash.man.

You should then have swflash.inf, getflash.exe, getflash.man, and flash.ocx. Right-click on the flash.inf file and choose install. Or after it has just been installed on a machine, go into the internet cache of the user that installed it and grab swflash.cab. All the files are there.
