Hi,

I've tried to install Flash 9 a number of times but continue to get the same error message:

Failed to install. For Troubleshooting please see: http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_19166

See my system info below. I also tried everything under tn_19166 and the info in the forum posted at the bottom of this post.

Any suggestions on how to resolve the issue?

Thanks,

Chris

Download the uninstaller for Flash Player from "How to uninstall the Adobe Flash Player plug-in and ActiveX control"

http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157

Quit ALL running applications, including all Internet Explorer or other browser windows, AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger, or other Messengers. Check the Windows system tray carefully to make certain no applications which might possibly use Flash Player are still in memory.

Install the new Flash Player from here:

www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer

Check to see if Flash Player is installed:

I too, would like to hear a response as I did the suggested uninstall procedure the same as above. I am on a Windows Me platform and the install process just sits. I get the box for the video to play in but no video,so I assume the install is not successful.
