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.

Are you going to run the script manually, task sequence (SCCM) or through GPO? Adobe have a cleaning tool that does what you ask:
