Flash Player 10 ActivX install

Downloading Flash Player 10 install on Firefox works just fine.

When I open Internet Explorer to install the ActivX version, the page appears in Japanese. Clicking on the Download button leads to http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/flash/trigger/jp/3/index.html.

How can I force it to display the English page, and install the English ActivX? (This is on English Windows XP.)

    Make sure that your browser language preference settings do not include Japanese (ja). You can also just go to http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&Lang=English

    The Flash Player installer is universal so the same version is installed no matter which page you're on. Adobe.com just follows your language preferences according to your browser. :)

    Thank you very much for your reply.

    I do have to use the Japanese language setting for a certain application to run correctly. But your link lets me install the Flash Player correctly. (I actually don't know if the version of Flash Player installed is different [Japanese] if I install it through the Japanese page?)
