I have this game I am trying to install on an external hard drive that requires Flash Player and even though it is installed on my computer the game keeps popping up with Flash Player is required for this install. Would you like to install it now? Is there any way to install Flash Player on my external or get the game's installer to recognize it being on the hard drive. I don't want to install the game to my computer. Thanks for any help.

Flash Player is installed on the Windows system32 and syswo64 folders; it cannot be installed anywhere else.

What does that game require: the ActiveX control, or the plugin?  If in doubt, install both.

I accidentally intalled my flash player program on my external  hard disk. I try to Uninstall, and pull out my hard disk. Then reinstall.  The flash player doesn't  work on my clomputer without the external  hard disk. I'm  using Window 10. Please help me.

Win 7. Sorry I didn't post it originally. The external is a 1TB Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex with 917GB free.
