Macromedia Flash Player 9.0 for IE

...running XPsp2 with current Flash Player 8 version. Can I simply intall this new 9.0 over current version? I'm thinking yes.

 

Setup for 9 said it couldnt find browser plugins location, so I found it in C/ProgramFiles/IE/Plugins and clicked to install it there. It installed a NPSWF32.dll for the new version in that Plugins folder. Add/Remove shows no new Macromedia FP 9 nor do CCleaner and Spybot show new 9 version in the uninstaller lists. Should I have let the setup install new version in C/Windows/System32/Macromedia? Setup message said app may not fully work properly if not installed in the plugins directory. Seems like add/remove should show 9 version just installed. Do I really have new version installed or not?

 

yes, you should have, because some new site supports only the latest Macromedia
Just install it

 

if you have restarted and ccleaner dont show it, its not installed. ed

 

I installed both 9.0 versions (IE and non-IE) over the top of their respective 8.0 versions without any problems.

 

You done it right

 

The only result I get when attempting to install 9.0 is the NPSWF32.dll placed either in C/Programs/IE/Plugins or C/Windows/System32/Macromedia, depending on where I direct it. My current version 8 remains in place in add/remove programs, uninstaller lists, etc.

 

does it possible you uninstall the version 8 and install the version 9 alone?

 

That's what I'll try tonight when back at the home pc...uninstall 8, then try the version 9 installation. Thanks for the posts.
