Hi,
I'm going mad here. I'm trying to install the Flash Player browser plugin,
and it keeps failing. I've found that the reason is that there are two
existing files in
C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash9f.ocx
C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashUtil9f.exe
It is suggested that I have to delete these two files and try the Flash
installation again. I have a Home Premium Vista, I am administrator and I
have switched off UAC.
-I tried to do it in safe mode
-I tried to do it from command prompt (run as administrator)
-I tried do remove the read-only flag from the file, both from command
prompt (Access is denied) and from Explorer (You will need to provide
administrator permission to change these atrributes) and I AM THE
ADMINISTRATOR and only user!!!
-I tried to take full ownership of the file by going
Properties-Security-Advanced-Owner (it says that I'm the current owner)
-If I go to "Effective permissions and type my name, "Full control" is not
ticked, but I do have absolutely everything (INCLUDING Delete) except "Write
attributes"
Help please, for the love of God, I'm going mad.
