For security purposes I'm investigating what it would take to force Adobe Shockwave Player updates to run under a restricted user account in a corporate environment. I was hoping for a solution similar to Adobe Flash where you could create a scheduled task to run the update as the SYSTEM account but shockwave seems to behave a little differently than Flash.
I've also read that you can enable/disable auto updates by modifying the registry keys "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Macromedia\Shockwave 10\AutoUpdate" and "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Adobe\Shockwave 12\AutoUpdate", however, when I modify these parameters they are not reflected when you right click on the shockwave video player -> select properties -> and then check/uncheck the update options. Am I missing something here?
I have been testing with a somewhat older version of Shockwave to see if it would ever update to the newest version but I can't see where it ever updates. Have others run into this issue? How do you keep shockwave up to date in your corporate environment?
