Adobe Flasher Player install not working properly

Report · May 28, 2010

I tried to download the lastest version of AFP for IE 8 (32-bit) on a 64 bit system and the download manager says it's 100%. I then checked the file it was supposed to be downloaded to, which is C:Windows/SysWoW64/Macromed/Flash, and the only file there is text document named "install". Here is the screenshot of it:

Please help! Thank you.

Why on earth is it downloading to the WoW64 folder?

That is supposed to be ONLY for the Windows on Windows 64 files that allow 32 bit apps to run in 64 bit Windows.

Download the standalone installer from here

http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html or

http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/

and save it to your downloads folder. Run it from there.

And change your browser preferences so it doesn't download (even temp files) to WoW64.
