Hi everybody. I want to use SMS to push out the latest version of Flash
Player, 9.0.47, and uninstall any installed older versions. I have the Install
Flash Player 9 ActiveX.msi file, but I'm not sure what switches I need to throw
at it to have it uninstall all older versions so only 9.0.47 remains in the
end. any ideas?

this kind of tangential to your issie, but I need to know: I have Adobe Flash
Player 9 on my computer, but I think it is broken. I want to download a new
one. My question is: do I need to uninstall what I have before I download and
reinstall?

Dazed,
My personal opinion is to uninstall the old version. In your case, if the
install is damaged in some way it may not be fully corrected by a new install
of the same version. Another reason to uninstall first is that updates do not
always uninstall old versions by default. My current computer is only a couple
of months old, but already it has an outdated and insecure version on it that
was not automatically uninstalled when I updated to the latest version . What
is worse is that Windows add/remove software utility does not identify which
installation is the latest version; it reports both as version 9.
