Introduced in Flash Player 8, Express Install is an option for seamlessly upgrading visitors to your website to the latest player using a Flash-based experience (see Figure 1). Express Install allows you to design an in-context upgrade experience for your content so users never have to leave your site. It also lets you gracefully handle user cancellation and avoid system restarts.
This Adobe Captivate demo shows the Express Install experience on Internet Explorer for Windows when visitors need to upgrade their version of Flash Player to view the content.
Note: Even though this demo shows one browser and platform, Express Install is supported on all browsers and platforms that support Flash Player.
