New version of Adobe Flash Player 9 Active-X install

I'm testing the latest version of distributable Adobe Flash V. 9 Active-X MSI package. I will need to deploy this package to upgrade the old version of Flash Player due to security issue. The installation only takes about 15 seconds which is great. The issue we're having is... looking into the Windows XP Pro Add/ Remove Programs, it shows both the old and new versions installed. I tested another workstation and installed it directly from Adobe website and it appears to have upgraded the old version 9.0.115.0 to the new version 9.0.124.0 with only one version showing in the Add/ Remove Programs list. That is what we wanted to happen. Is there another version of MSI package that we can get to "Upgrade" the old version?

Kind Regards,

Don

    Thank you for replying with the information. Do you know about when a new build for the new Flash MSI package will be released for download at Adobe Licensing Center?

    It is recommended that you remove older versions of Flash Player (unless they are needed for developer testing) when deploying the new MSI.

    There is a known issue when attempting to uninstall using the current MSI version 9.0.124.0. It will not completely remove all entries in the system registry. This will be addressed for a future release of Flash Player.

    You can include the Adobe Flash Player uninstaller in your deployment process. The uninstaller can be downloaded from here:

    In addition, the MSI is only available for deployment via the Adobe Licensing Center:

    Please let me know if you have any further questions.

    I also had older versions (4.0.7.0, 6.0.79.0, 6.0.80.0, & 7.0.19.0) when I loaded 9.0.124.0 but none of them went away. So, I went to TechNote 14157 (as mentioned in McNally's response) to get the uninstaller -- after running it I no longer had 9.0.124.0 but the rest seem to still be there. How do I get rid of them? Thanks, Dan
