Sorry, this may upset you, but FB and Flash player aren't really related... also there's no need to install standalone player, it's just not a program that requires installation, after you run any copy of it it will create a file association to SWF files (will make itself a default program to open files with SWF extension). You may also do that from "folder options" dialog. It is true they may try to change that to whatever version of player they came bundled with right when you install them, but later they never try to change that. Silly thing about FB though is you cannot configure it to use the copy of the flash player that you want... it has no such setting... Regarding your other issue with unistaller, I personally never had it, but, this page seem to have some good info (although dated) http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Windows_and_Mac . Some other adobe products may sometimes try to install their own versions of player. This issue was discussed several times and Adobe promised to do something about it in the future releases... Since I need multiple different versions of Flash player for testing, I first was switching the SDKs (every SDK comes with the set of debug players - find them in the runtimes folder), but that's not comfortable, so, I move them to the Program Files/Flash Player/version/{debug|release}. Could sound a little messy, but once I made it a habit any time I need to get a new standalone version I just put it there, it never gave me troubles.
Best. Oleg
