I installed the most recent version of Shockwave and used this uninstaller with the /S switch (uninstaller.exe /S) and it uninstalled Shockwave Flash silently.Note: Effective April 9, 2019, Adobe Shockwave will be discontinued and the Shockwave player for Windows will no longer be available for download.Ĭompanies with existing Enterprise licenses for Adobe Shockwave continue to receive support until the end of their current contracts.Īfter a hard day at work you might turn to the Internet for a piece of entertainment. This tech note is for version 10 and the uninstaller file name seems to have changed from unwise.exe to uninstaller.exe at some point since then. I don't work on Shockwave and am not familiar with silent uninstall for Shockwave, however, if you're using the Shockwave MSI installer, you can use the MSI commands to uninstall it silently.įor the Shockwave Player EXE installer, I searched in the Shockwave forums and tech notes and found Find current installers for Adobe Shockwave Player which indicates that the uninstaller is saved at C:\Windows\System32\Adobe\Shockwave (C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Adobe\Shockwave on a 64-bit OS). I was going to move this post to the Adobe Shockwave Player (Read-Only) forum for someone familiar with Shockwave Player assist, however, now that Adobe has end-of-lifed Shockwave, the forum has been set to read-only. You're posting to the Flash Player forums, which is completely separate from Shockwave Player.

Shockwave and Flash Player are 2 different products. I'm making some assumption here, however, if you provide more information on your specific use-case we can provide more detailed information specific to your use case. If this is the case, you'll want to deploy the custom mms.cfg file when redeploying Flash Player. Note that if you have a custom mms.cfg file modifying the update options, running the standalone uninstaller will reset the update options to the default update options (notification auto-update).

The embedded versions are managed by the respective browser vendors.įor more information, see the Flash Player Admin Guide Note that the uninstaller will *not* uninstall the embedded versions of Flash Player (PPAPI for Chromium-based browsers and Flash Player ActiveX Control on Windows 8 and above for Internet Explorer/Edge).

To uninstall Flash Player silently, use the standalone uninstaller with the command line -uninstall (e.g. I'm assuming you're referring to Flash Player, and not Shockwave Player
