is there an official version of the flash player for Vista? and more importantly, Vista 64bit? if i install it from the adobe site i get multiple entries in my add/remove programs list and, sometimes flash content in IE7 works, sometimes it doesnt.

does adobe at least have an official response??? are they going to release a Vista version? whats the deal?
also, where can i download the latest version in the form of an actual setup file? the fact that i can only seem to install the ActiveX version is probably part of the problem! SETUP.EXE could be ran ad administrator and might help! IS there a downloadable version ??

    My company recently started using Flash Media Server to stream audio and video content. My boss just installed Windows Vista Ultimate and now no streaming content will play at all. Simple Flash animations work, but nothing that accesses the Flash Media Server for content. I've uninstalled and reinstalled multiple versions of the Flash Player on his machine but nothing seems to work. I also tried the new "Reset" feature in IE that is supposed to return it to it's shipping state and that didn't work. I navigated to the "System 32" folder and ran the Flash Updater EXE. I downloaded and installed all of the available updates through "Windows Update". I also tested Flash Objects that stream video on Adobe.com and they don't play either. Has anyone heard of this happening or know what I need to do to fix it? I don't know if this is a bug in the Flash Player or with Windows Vista.

    forgot to mention... i have 2 or 3 entries for the flash player in add/remove programs, and they wont leave! uninstalling (or attempting to) does nothing... they still stay there. i even tried the uninstall utility that you can download from the adobe website and THAT doesnt work! and how pathetic that you even NEED a separate utility to remove this garbage.
