Help! I am trying to install Macromedia Flash

[Mrowland]

I have been trying for a very long time to install this program but I haven't
been able to. When I try to install I will see the installation movie, like it
is trying to install it but then it will stop and will not show the
installation complete so I figure that it did not work correctly. When the
movie stops, it looks like it is being blocked by something, I am almost sure
it is being blocked. I lost the program when I installed Internet Explorer 7,
but then I had to uninstall Internet 7 and then install it again. Any ideas,
anyone. Please, I really need help, thanks.

Hi,
I am having the same, long-standing problem!!

I also see the installation movie..

...I even get the following message:
"Version 9,0,45,0 installed successfully"

However, I continue to get the same message from Internet sites such as
Discovery Channel and YouTube - always tellling me that I need to "download the
latest version of Flash Player."
(This starts the entire process over again !!)

However, at one point during the installation I did receive the following
error message
Error 1904.Module
C:\WINNT\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash8d.ocx
failed to register. HRESULT ?2147220473.
Contact your support personnel

The bottom line is - I still cannot watch ANYTHING via Flash Player.

I you have any luck, please drop me an e-mail. This is very frustrating.

Hi Mrowland


Instructions for uninstalling and reinstalling the latest Flash Player:

1. First download the uninstaller to your desktop from here

2. Before running this uninstaller be sure to read the instruction and close
all running programs.
3. Open the following folder C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash
4. Run the uninstaller
5. What files are left in this folder? C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash
6. If there are files left, delete the Flash folder.
7. Install the Flash Player from here: [url]http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer[/url]

Hi there cranberrycountry,

Your issue may be different. Please reply with all the files that you see in
the following folder:

C:\WINNT\system32\Macromed\Flash\

I assume that the file Flash8d.ocx is still in this folder, even after
uninstalling?

I have both of the same issues. I have tried installing from Adobe site, and
get the same symptoms as Mrowland. After installing/uninstalling multiple
times, I found the msi file (Install Flash Player 8 ActiveX.msi) on the adobe
site. I tried installing this and got the same issue as CranberryCountry, about
Flash8d.ocx failing to register. I ran the uninstall app, as suggested by
Darren McNally, and watched the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\Macromed\Flash folder, but
is was successfully removed along with the Flash8d.ocx and other files that it
contains. Any advice?
Thanks,
Ryan
