Flash Player tries to install to Opera on a Network drive

I had to update Flash Player, and I ran the uninstaller, and when I went reinstall it the installer reports "Copy to: Z:/Opera..." Z is a network drive and I've NEVER used Opera on this computer, the folder only exists on the other computer.

My problem is Flash acts like it's installed but even after disconneting the Z: drive it still tries to install flash to a browser I never use on a drive that no longer exists. I have no idea why it decided to use Opera install of Firefox without notifying or asking me, and I have no idea how to get it to install to Firefox on the C: drive.

Any help? this is really bugging me.

    Ok, I decided to try re-installing one more time and I'm not sure why but this time it worked.

    That "copy to" message threw me off, but I think the line that just registered the components on my computer should have worked, but for some reason it didn't at first so I thought Flash was only going to the network drive.

    Having those lines in the installer is really confusing especially without an error "can't write to disk" or similar.

    It's installed now, I believe if the installer came with options it'd make it a lot easier/less confusing.
