I am running IE 6 (Wintel) and have tried both installers for the most recent Flash player -- activeX and the other standalone one. I cannot view any Flex apps now in my browser - most notably the derby examples. It seems to hang on a screen that has the title "Flash Player Installation" -- like something in the apps is sniffing for the player, not finding it, and then hanging on some "automatic" install hook that has been built for Flex but not completely implemented yet. That is my suspicion, but I just want it to work -- do I need to uninstall/reboot/install again ? Any tips would be greatly appreciated as I need to start a Flex 2 project next week. thanks.

    You definatately need to run the unistaller 1st. Also make sure that all IE browser are closed, and that nothing that could possibly be using IE functionality (things like outlook, file manager etc...) are not running or the uninstall may well fail. Once this is succefully accomplished, re-install.
