Hi,Flash Player is saved to the following location:32-bit: C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash64-bit: C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash AND C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\FlashFor Windows, there are 3 different player types: ActiveX Control for IE, NPAPI for firefox and other NPAPI browsers, and PPAPI for Chrome and Chromium-based browsers. I'm not familiar with the software you are attempting to install, however, most apps use the ActiveX Control. Note that if your operating system is Windows 8 and above Microsoft embeds Flash Player ActiveX Control in the browser and there is on other installer for Flash Player ActiveX Control on these operating systems.--Maria
