Installing Stand alone Flash player on isolated computers

Windows XP

Greetings all,

Background:

I have a group of computers that have no internet access and no flash players installed on them.  I have created a few Flash 6 or Flash MX programs that have been converted to a screensavers *.scr as well as *.exe and *.swf files.    The *.exe works fine since I understand the player is built in to the *.exe file.    The *.swf does not show that it is recognized by the system , thus my guess that the Flash Player is not installed.  The *.scr does not run either.

On another post here "Detecting Flash Player or plugin on stand alone systems" ʇɐb ɹəuəllıʍ states that "Flash Player installs only browser add-ons; it is not a standalone (or executable) application."  Then how can I run stand alone programs?

Question:

Is there a way to download the flash player/installer to my computer, transfer to a flash drive, and run on the isolated computers so that a non-browser related .swf or .scr file will run???

Thanks for all the great info here.

    You can download the standalone Flash Player (Projector) from this page http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html

    Note that the download is the projector (not an installer), so you will need to create the file association from .swf to the projector manually.
