Installing flash from Adobe?

[Leythos]

Anyone having problems installing Flash from Adobe on their 2003
Terminal Servers?

I can download it, it shows that it's installed, but it doesn't work (IE
6) and using the ADD PROGRAMS method or just a install from the console
doesn't change anything.

TIA.

Hi,

I have seen cases in the past where the registry permissions
are set wrong and thus prevent flash from installing and/or
working correctly. If I remember correctly it usually is a
handful of flash-related keys under HKCR.

I usually just check through the entries by hand using regedit
but if you are unsure of which keys to check it would be
easier to use Process Monitor to direct you. Run the flash
install with PM running and then look for errors that occurred
with keys under HKCR.

I tried about 100000 things and finally found a Active-X installer on
Adobe's site. Strange thing is that it doesn't work with the local admin
account logon, but all Remote connections now have Flash
