Some people re-package other companies installers so that they can easily deploy them. Making a universal binary isn't an option. One would think Adobe would be able to figure out how to make a universal binary. But there are still separate installers for the Flash Player (even though one is called "UB".)

It is odd how Adobe are doing this, but we've tested the UB version on PPC quite a lot, and have had no problems with it.


This also gets around the horrible Adobe installer that asks for elevated privileges and then decides not to use them when it scans / Applications for app bundles that it thinks need updating.
