macromedia players flash : Flash Installer Does not Create Output Files

I have Win XP Pro 64 SP2 running on an AMD 64 X2 Dual Core 4200, 2 GB RAM.

Flash worked fine on this computer until I installed CS3 Master Collection.
Flash player stoped working.

I have removed the program using the control pannel and the Adobe Provided
utility.

I rolled back to IE 6 thinking that was the problem. It's not, what I have
found is when I run the installer, doesn't matter which version I have tried 8
and all version of 9, the installer acts as if it is unpacking the files but
never actually does.

In the folder c:\WINDOWS\system32\ there is no Macromed Directory.

When I try to use the web install for flash player 9, it goes into an endless
loop.

I have another CPU that Flash is working fine on and I copied the
C:\WINDOWS\System32\Macromed\Flash directory onto this computer. Did not fix
the problem...

I look at the add-ons in Ie and Flash Player is not listed???

Has anyone delt with this issue before, I did browse the forums and didn't
find this exact issue.

Thank you,

Robb G

Try the EXE installer from this technote:

Downloaded the ZIP, extracted the file and ran the EXE.

It went through the motions as if it was doing something, go check the
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash Directory and there is nothing there.
