Anthony A Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 What are people doing here when they update Flash? Are you just downloading over the older version or are you using the uninstaller from Adobe to remove the old version and than download the new version?

Moderators Andavari Posted August 10, 2007 Moderators Share Posted August 10, 2007 I just install over the already installed version which works just fine with the Firefox/Opera/Compuserve version. Depending upon what they do with the IE version sometimes you have to do a little bit of manual cleaning "deleting" in C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed to get rid of unused files.

Anthony A Posted August 10, 2007 Author Share Posted August 10, 2007 Well on one of my machines I tried the uninstaller from Adobe. It removes all flash from everywhere. It gives you a little report of what and where it removed it. It cleaned out C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed and Opera's plugin folder entries of Flash. Also removed the IE Active X flash. This the recommended method from Adobe but I haven't had any problems installing over the old version. I guess if you have problems and need to do a clean install of Flash the uninstaller will do it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeeCee Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I have nowadays used that uninstaller, before installing new version, and i recommend doing that. Path Copy TeraCopy Unlocker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Adobe should make the update process better. Having to uninstall Flash everytime an update is released is stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
