Hopefully you get the answers you need here at ITNinja. For best result be sure to tag your question with anything related such as Adobe Flash player, and offer a more descriptive title to include the software you need help with. - RandomITPro 11 years ago

In most cases uninstalling the old version of these two programs before installing the new version is not necessary but...
Adobe makes these standalone unistallers for flash:

and for shockwave:

I would write a simple script to call the uninstaller then the installer. If yo need help for what flags and such to use for Flash installation, please reference ITNINJA's Deployment Tip database http://www.itninja.com/software/browse/a?keyword=flash&WithTips=1

Thanks, But I am not able to un-install silently. It does not do anything with the silent switch.
