This evening at the college where I teach, we installed Flash CS4 on 30 computers.

I have searched for over 2 hours all over the internet and have tried various suggestions... update the software, update the Flash player, delete the configuration folder, disable extenions, and many other things.

Nothing works.  And when I opened up the Extension Manager, there are no extensions installed so that wasn't the issue.

I'm at my wits end.  Does anyone else get these errors and know how to fix it?

Actually, the problem is in the DLL files located in the Common/Configuration/External Libraries folder. It turns out that if you install Flash and these files have the Archive bit turned off, your program refuses to load the DLL files. We have confirmed this by watching the DLLs being loaded.

All you have to do is open this folder (/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Flash CS 4/Common/Configuration/External Libraries) in a command prompt and type:

ATTRIB +A *.*

For some reason, the software developers are watching for the Attribute flag on these files and refusing to load them if this is not set.

Bad programming by the Flash developers. You don't rely on file flags being set in order to load/unload DLL files.

Yes, but I'm clot to DOS. I made the following: search the files in the folder  /Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Flash CS 4/Common/Configuration/External Libraries/ and change the 6 dll. files  attribut for Archiv. I made it in Total Commander. Now it's OK.
