RE: [flexcoders] Big problem with OCX, Flash 8 release version

Thu, 27 Oct 2005 15:48:13 -0700

I’m now lost as to whether you’re trying to uninstall the Flash 8 OCX or install it or what.  But here’s what I do:

 

Close IE (in fact close all your browsers for kicks)

Close Explorer, do not have any windows open showing folders that could potentially embed IE

 

Open up a command shell (Start > Run > cmd)

 

cd c:\windows\system32\Macromed\Flash

 

regsvr32 /u Flash.ocx (this should disable the installed Flash Player for IE, a dialog will say if it was successful)

 

If this fails you may want to reboot your computer and not launch any IE or Explorer window before trying the above steps again.

 

Launch IE, see what happens, go to a Flash page and see if install works.  If install fails to work you can close things down and try to enable the OCX via windows.

 

regsvr32 Flash.ocx (from the same directory as before, a dialog will say if it was successful)

Not yet, but I have to, this is my production
workstation and I have clients I have to get things
done for.

The uninstall works fine and Firefox, Netscape and
_Yes_ EVEN OPERA (which is more like IE) works
now...but IE does not.

I mean, given all the issues with IE which have
included the ability for MS to obtain all your
FAVORITES when you visit microsoft.com, and many other
issues, I'm very suspect; not 100% sure, but suspect.

If anyone else knows how to fix this I'd appreciate
it.
