I am currently trying to deploy version 11.1.102.55 of the Flashplayer ActiveX control, I am encountering a problem with the applicability rules where the update is classed as Not Applicable because the target laptop has version '9.0.1.x' and the this appears to be evaluated as greater than '11.1.102.55'. I know this is because as a true string comparison "9.0" is greater than "11."
I have tried creating my own rule selecting 'Registry Version as String' for the rule type but appears to be exactly the same as Registry String Value and that is what the wizard ultimately saves the rule as.
Has anyone encountered this problem and if so how did you workaround it, my only idea so far is to change the version check to be NOT Equal to 11.1.102.55 but if any of my users have manaully upgrade past this version I will downgrade them to my version which I don't want to do.
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated as this is now beginning to drive me mad.
