Windows 2008 Server. I get the message "The procedure entry point SetDllDirectoryW could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll." when attempting to upgrade my flash player.

How does this get fixed?

I have only seen this happening on Windows 2000; it should not happen on newer Windows versions.

Searching Google I also found instances where this occurred on later Windows systems with malware infections.

Whole reason for this was clean re-install of OS because I got to tinkering, and over-tinkered, ...

Got around to installing FF of course, needed to get the latest Java, Flash, and other things so I could use the server on the internet successfully if need be, and this pops up. (Reminds me, still need to do Java, ...)

I don't know why this happens on your Windows 2008 server; do you have all service packs installed?

See this topic for a circumvention (post 14) on Windows 2000: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/965334
