In the Flash Player disk image, right click 'Install Adobe Flash Player' and choose 'Show Package Contents'.In Finder, mount install_flash_player_osx.dmg.For this you will need Pacifist by CharlesSoft or another tool capable of opening macOS installer packages (or find out how to extract what you need using pkgutil), you also need a full download of the Flash Player plugin (not the internet enabled one), the correct download should be a disk image of around 15-16mb. If you need to install Flash ugin manually, I've found a workaround, but it's a bit of a pain due to how Adobe packages it. Please support your answer with evidence, don't merely speculate.ītw, Cmd-I when the Installer app is running will list the contents. (I have a feeling that the Mach-O only does installation-support stuff like making sure the old files aren't in use before replacing.) Would the install be clean if I just run the dpkg file, rather than proceeding with their Mach-O binary? I take it that running the dpkg is safer? The file list looks innocent enough, my existing installation seems to have the files under /Library. I also found a single dpkg directory: Contents/Resources/Adobe Flash Player.pkg. The ps command says the installer is running as $TMPDIR/FPUnpackPath/Install Adobe Flash Player.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Flash Player Install Manager.

Is it possible to install without giving root access to this executable?

The Adobe update app opens the password dialog when I click 'install'. I've locked down my /Library folder so even the admin group can't write (only root can).
