"flash" verb fails nearly every time #269

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
"winetricks flash" rarely works because Adobe update the .exes often, and 
winetricks tries to compare sha1sums.

"sha1sum mismatch!  Rename 
/home/test/.cache/winetricks/flash/install_flash_player_10_active_x.exe and try 
again."

There's no way to keep up with the Flash downloads so it's probably a better 
idea to disable the checksum altogether. The only vulnerability is DNS 
spoofing, which cannot be that common for Adobe Flash, surely.

In addition to removing the sha1sum check, we'd have to extend winetricks' 
install check mechanism to support wildcards.

If Adobe offered stable download URLs for specific versions, I'd gladly use 
them.

Happily, I think they do for flash 11.  Does that version work for you in Wine?

At the moment, yes, but I haven't been using Flash 11 for more than a couple of 
days.

Same problem.
Will it be fixed?

I think it's working at the moment. 

Still tempted to make flash 11 the default... guess I should and see what 
breaks.
litimetal, does flash11 work for you?

Thank you. The new version works.
I think using Flash11 is a better choice, too.
