Required file could not be written due to insufficient permisions????

Hi, When Uninstalling Flash Player prior to Installing any new version it is best to use the Adobe Uninstaller. You might want to try the following. Many times that error would mean you didn't use the Administrator Account and didn't have Permission to Install for some reason. I would try this first and see if it is successful.

Download and SAVE to your Desktop the Uninstaller:

Download and SAVE to your Desktop the Installer for IE- use the EXE Installer

Download and SAVE to your Desktop the Installer for FF- use the EXE Installer for plugin based (from the same site)

Close all browser windows, you only want to be looking at your Desktop.

Disable any messenger services, as yahoo, msn, etc in the system tray(area near the clock)

Disable any Anti-Virus/Spyware programs

Be sure to use the Administrator Account.

Run the Uninstaller and when finished, Reboot(restart) your computer.

Now check and make sure the Anti-Virus/Spyware programs are still Disabled.

Run the Installer for IE, Run the Installer for FF and when finished, Reboot.

Then go to this test site and test each browser:

You may want to print these instructions to make it easier to follow. If you have any questions, let me know.
