I am running Windows Server 2003. When I login directly as administrator, I
can install Flash Player from the Adobe website. Then when I login via Remote
Desktop as administrator, Flash Player is detected and works in IE. However,
when I login via Remote Desktop as a regular user, Flash Player is not
detected. I believe the problem is that I have to install Flash Player from
the Control Panel->Add/Remote Program. To do this, I need a setup.exe file for
Flash Player. Do you know where I can one? Thanks in advance.

while no users are on, and before you install open a command prompt and type

change user /install

run you install but before you reboot type

change user /execute

(this is how it was done before there was wizards)

The change user (/install & /exchange) looking promising. Unfortunately, it
did not work. I checked the IE Manage Add-On's option. When I remote desktop
in as the Administrator, I see the Shockwave Flash Object loaded in IE.
However, when I remote desktop in as a regular user, I do not see the Shockwave
Flash Object loaded in IE. For comparison, with regards to Acrobat Reader, I
see it in both instances. So I am still looking for help...

I am encountering the same issue with flash on Terminal Server 2003. Flash
works in the Administrator profile but no Domain User can install Flash to IE
on the terminal server. The web istallation fails at the point that flash is
trying to install an ActiveX control with the common "Administrator must
install" error. I've not been able to find a Flash download for local
installation. I've applied for the free license for redistribution, so we'll
see if that helps get to a real program.

Sidenote to Adobe; Please dump the ActiveX controls, this was never an issue
before you bought Flash and started messing around with it.

Did you get an answer to your issue. I'm running into the same problem. I use
the "change user /install.../execute" prompt when I install things on my
Terminal Server but still not fixed...
Please help

Hi, you could always try downloading one of the archived installers from here

http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14266&sliceId=2

Still nothing. This is getting annoying. I wish Adobe would do something about
this. I have had this issue forever it seems. I might try to use some older
versions of Flash but then I know already that I will have some problems with
some of the websites that the terminal server users access. Doesn't seem worth
the time and effort. I have also sent in a case file but have not heard back.
Not cool.
Well if anyone hears anything or if I figure something out lets stay in touch
on this.
Thanks to everyone that cares.

No go on the free distribution... I am REALLY lovin' Adobe on this one.

We tried the fix ajgalbraith98 suggests via RDP (no users on the system)
without luck. We then tried it from the console and suddenly a random few users
could access flash. Unfortunately for Adobe I don't consider this a fix.

Next we are going to try killing a user profile and rebuilding it from
scratch. That'll make a happy customer for sure...

Yep I've done the same but you have a few more users that can access flash!!
I wish Adobe would get on the F*%&ing ball.

I have solved this issue by changing the permissons to "READ" for everyone on
the two registry keys below. (Ensure it is replicated to the child objects.)

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{D27CDB6B-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000}]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{D27CDB6B-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000}]

Next time the users login, it works.
By default, EVERYONE is denied. Hence the error.

This is the solution that worked for me. Thanks so muchTerminal Server Tech.
You are a life saver!!!
