Flash Player 9 fails to properly install

[donutman]

:disgust; I have tried everything I know to get Flash9 to work. After
uninstalling I restart my computer and install flash. It says it was installed
but when I go back to Adobe site and test the player nothing except Shockwave
comes up. I am using Netscape and never had this problem with anyother
versions. The strange thing is that the install program dumps everything into
c:windows\system32\macromedia\flash. There is nothing in the Netscape plugin
folder. Also when I try to download Flash9 it finishes in about 3 sec. Each
time I try a fresh download I get different results. Sometimes after installing
I am asked to install flash sometimes not. I opened a case with support but
have not heard anything as yet. This is getting to be a real pain.If there are
issues with the download file I hope they get resolved because something just
doesn't seem right.
Thanks for any help-Bob

What do you see in:
C:\Program Files\<netscape>\plugins? (Sorry I don't have Netscape on this
machine so I'm not sure of the exact path)

Should be two items for Flash Player 9.0.45.0:
NPSWF32.dll
NPSWF32_FlashUtil.exe

Bentley,Thanks for the reply. I had prior to this posting opened a case and got
some information from that. I downloaded another uninstaller and the Flash
Player installer. I uninstalled it,restarted my machine and installed flash.
After that I restarted again and the connected to net. I got a window asking if
I wanted to install flash. I clicked yes and got an error message that install
failed. After the install I went to c;windows/system32/macromedia/flash. The
files installed there were: flash player.xpt,install
file,NPSWP32.dll,NPSWP32_flashutil and uninstall plugin. I then went to the
Netscape plugin folder and there was nothing in it for flash. I don't
understand this at all. Prior to this version I never had a problem installing
flash.On other versions once the install was done I would get window asking me
to install and then I wouls go to page to test player and it always showed up
and they worked just fine. Is something missing from the download? Shouldn't
there also be an .ocx file? Why would the install fail to install the necessary
file into the Netscape plugin folder? Thanks for any insight into this. Bob

Bentley-sorry for the double reply.Anyway here is an update. I downloaded the
flash installer again. I then put NPSWP32.dll and NPSWP32_flash.util into the
Netscape plugin folder. What was left in the win/sys32/macromedia/flash folder
is flashplayer.xpt,install log,uninstall plugin and SWflash.ocx. At the Adobe
site I went to test webplayers. The flash movie did not load. I right clicked
on the blank area and clicked about flashplayer. It verifies that the current
version is installed. Where is the.ocx file supposed to be,in windows or
Netscape? I hope this additional info helps. Bob
