Deploying Adobe Shockwave using SyAM
Management Utilities
Adobe Shockwave can be deployed silently to Windows client systems using the Third Party
software installation feature of SyAM Management Utilities. Client systems must have the SyAM
System Client installed and under management by SyAM System Area Manager.
Contact Adobe for access to the Shockwave installers that support enterprise deployment. In
this document we will deploy Shockwave using the full installer executable
sw_lic_full_installer.exe. A slim executable is also available from Adobe; consult their
documentation to determine which one you should use. The installation procedure is the same
in either case.
Upload the Shockwave installation executable to the network share that is defined as the
Default Application Path on the Administration Settings page of Management Utility.
In the Functions menu of Management Utility, under Configure Templates, click Third Party.
