Shockwave 11.0.3.470 stops installing

[TR4A]

IE7 Vista SP1. Tried installing many times. Uninstalled, set IE settings to
lowest setting. Turned off Protected Mode. Flash Player installed fine.
Previous versions installed OK. At the end of the install a graphic that has
"This site might require the following AtiveX control: 'Shockwave Player' from
Adobe. Click here to install..." placed where the Installation Complete would
be. You end up with two graphics of the same thing on the web page.

One above the:

"Installation Notes
Important message: You may need to click the gold bar at the top of the
browser window to allow the install."

On one below.

Im getting the same thing. (XP SP3 French with latest update to Dec 5 2008)
I installed firefox 3.0.4 and tryed to get shockwave player with it.
It allowed to download the slim version (Shockwave_Installer_Slim) 4.35meg.
I assumed that with a local copy of shockwave, I could install it and it does
install. I even check my hard drive and I see it installed.
But I still cant play any shockwave content in either firefox or IE.
I tryed a new profile on the same machine with the same result.
I tryed to install it on another machine and still getting this same issue.

At this point I remembered that with Adobe Captivate 3, in order for it to
install on XP French version, I had to go into the regional setting and set
everything to english US and apply to all profile. That was the undocumented
Adobe fix that I got from a lvl3 system engenere at Adobe. Anyways, I tryed
that and still can't install the shockwave player.

I think I cover my side pretty well. I hope Adobe come up with some answer
pretty soon.

Same issue here. I did manage to download the full install exe file
and attempted to run it offline. Once it got to the point where it
prompts to install Google Toolbar, I get a Windows alert stating I do
not have the requisite admin priveleges to finish installation, even
though I AM an admin.
