Hello,

is 2 days I try to install in a PC Flash Player for IE 9 (Windows 7 64 BIT).

I try all but the installation fail when the installation try to register the ocx!

I try to register the ocx also manually (with regsvr32 from prompt) but I have always the error 8002801C that you can see below (I paste the log of installation, you can see the problem).

Please note that installation in Firefox work fine (because the installation dont try to register ocx, I think) and Flash Palyer in Firefox work fine also.

I have control all the permission but I see other user have my problem.

This is crazy, as had say another user!!!!

Please can you help me?

I'm assuming that you've tried to do a clean install, so I think the next step would be to try and fix your file/folder/registry permissions.  Can you try the steps outlined in this FAQ and let me know how it goes?

How do I fix Windows permission problems with Flash Player?

Thanks,

Chris

You might also want to try to create a new, temporary user account and see if you can get it registered there.  This is not normal behavior, and very rare which leads me to believe that we're dealing with permissions in your user account or possibly at a lower level.

Out of curiosity, when you tried to register the activex by hand, did you do this from an elevated (open as administrator) command prompt?


Hi,

thank you for all answer.

When I try, about ten days ago, the procedure suggested from Pat I dont know why FP was installed correctly.

Unfortunatelly today the problem return adn I made the ProcMon log file and I jaust send it to Pat.

I hope this can help to resolve this problem (and I see in the forum that I'm not the only I have this problem!).
