Windows 7 (x64)

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:29.0) Gecko/20100101 SeaMonkey/2.26.1

Flash for plug-in based browsers

When will you fix the installer so that I do not have to remember to remove the old version of Flash before installing the new version?  Most software installers automatically detect old versions and remove them when updating applications.

The Flash Player installer should automatically remove old versions when installing a new version.  If that does not happen on your system, can you post the contents of the FlashInstall.log file in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash

Since I did remove the old version of Flash and then retried the installation of the new version, I don't think the FlashInstall.log file will be meaningful.  I will bookmark this forum item and provide the FlashInstall.log file when the next version of Flash is released.
