Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flash player fails to install on vista!

2009-04-04 Thread Sam Lai
Maybe running the Adobe Flash uninstaller (not the one in Add/Remove
Programs, but the downloadable one) beforehand would help?

I do that every time I deploy Flash, and its been working so far. Not
sure if users would lose their stored shared objects though.

2009/4/3 Rick Winscot rick.wins...@zyche.com:
 I ran across this two weeks ago on a single system... out of 76 machines and
 posted here as well to see if anyone else was experiencing any esplosions.

 Long story short – I ended up finding some wonky behavior in the JavaScript
 used for Flash version detection on just that machine. Go figure. So... I
 swapped out the HTML wrapper (generated in Flex from the default
 index.template.html w/express install) with SWFObject... BOOM BABY! Problemo
 solved.

 For those naysayers on the list that called me ‘crazy,’ ‘stoopid,’ ‘noob,’
 and ‘utterly delicious.’ SEE! I’m not the only one! There are two of us...
 in like... a couple million installs.
