Do you and your coworker have the same permissions on your machine? For instance, if your coworker is an administrator but you're a restricted user that could explain different installations.
My first try would be to completely uninstall Flash and then reinstall it (I had some really weird problem with flash a few months ago where I had to do this 4 or 5 times before it worked). Trying it myself, Flash does not appear in the Downloaded Program Files directory (where the "View Objects..." thing takes you). The file IE is using is at: C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash8.ocx On my other machine with Flash 9, the ocx file is in the same place (just called Flash9b.ocx), though I do have a "Shockwave Flash Object" entry in the downloaded program files directory. The only difference between these two machines is that on the Flash8 one I'm not an admin (Debugger User), while on the other one I am. -Andy On 1/24/07, Merrill, Jason <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
OK, so something I have never understood about Flash player installation and Internet Explorer. I have a co-worker who has 9,0,28,0 installed, verified in Internet Explorer 6: Tools > Settings> Internet Options > View Objects. I have 9,0,28,0 installed, verfied by going to: http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/about/ and seeing the version shown (unless that site is lying to me). However, I cannot see my Flash player 9 object like my co-worker can by going to Internet Explorer 6:Tools > Settings> Internet Options > View Objects. I can however see Flash sites just fine (including Flash 9 Flex sites) as can my co-worker. Why is that? The issue for us is we have a third party Flash player wrapper (Ice player) running in the browser, and the files that run with that work fine for my co-worker, but not for me. We seen to have the same Flash player installation, just not in the same location? This seems to be why the third party Flash player wrapper (both my co-worker and I have the same install, there is only one version of it) does not work for me but works for my co-worker. Can Flash player get installed in a different location? Also, if you have time for a bonus question, how does Adobe's Flash player auto-update work? How can Adobe update the Flash player without my permission? Is auto-update somehow related to my issue? I have also seen times on Adobe's site where it indicated I did not have the Flash player installed, even though I did and could view other Flash sites just fine. Is my registry just hosed or something? How can I clean up this mess?
