Macromedia Flash player 8

[Nick_Coffey]

Hello everyone,

I am running Windows XP HOME edition SP2.

I'm new to this forum, but I found the page where the Macromedia Flash player 8 is, and I tried to download it but I get this message:

("Directory not found"

Setup could not find your browsers plugins directory

Click Browse and locate the plugins directory

To install this directory, click install

And for the destination, it set to: C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash"

End of instruction page.)

So I click install - and it does a short 2 sec install and thats it - no dialogue for me to install it or nothing. So I go to the directory where its supposedly at - and the only file there is this:

("NPSWF32.dll
8.0.24.0
Shockwave Flash 8.0 r24")

And thats the only file it shows - and if I visit a flash site - it prompts me to download Adobe flash which I don't want.

Can anyone please help me?

Thanks alot,

Nick Coffey

Would you like to share your resolution?

I'm also desperate to know the resolution to this problem- I've just downloaded the most recent version but am having the same problem. I've hunted high and low for this plugin directory but just cannot find it!

Although I never ran into such problem, I have seen it before.

Sometimes removing the flash player completely and reinstalling it solves the problem.

To uninstall flash player go to this page.
