HELP! Can't install Flash Player 9 on a Mac OSX v.10.3.9 Power PC

I have a Mac OSX v.10.3.9 Power PC - and have downloaded the appropriate plug in for Flashplayer 9 (only the newer Macs support Flashplayer 10). When I open the "Install Flash Player 9 UB.dmg" icon I unpack two icons - Flash Player.plugin and flashplayer.xpt. When I try to open either of these I get the message "There is no default application specified to open the document ...". This seems like a fault with the Adobe download (other Adobe products automatically carry an installation file with them). I used to have Flashplayer installed - but it's disappeared! Tearing my hair out - any help out there please?

    I just installed the Flash Player 9 on my Power PC based Mac OS X 10.3.9 and
    now no Flash elements work in Safari 1.3.2, or even Explorer. I have been sure to close all browsers, uninstall first etc. The
    installations appears to complete successfully, but I get the following error
    message on any page that has flash: Maybe Flash Player 9 is not compatible with it.

    I haven't anything useful to add, except that when I try to open the plug-in item, my computer tries to start up OS 9, which will no longer completely load.  So it is useless.  Can't anyone please offer a solution?
