FLASH: install Flash 4 player in IE

[Helen Triolo]

OK, here's a moronic question, but if I can't do this, how can I expect

my clients to?  Yesterday, I disabled the Flash activex control to test

something by following the instructions at macromedia.com (uninstall

from registry, etc).  That worked fine -- it disabled.  Today I went to

http://www.shockwave.com/aboutus/ready_to_play.html to reinstall it, as

directed in the mm instructions on the remove_player page.  There I get

Shockwave Error:15 "The shockwave plug-in cannot be used on IE. Please

install Shockwave from www.macromedia.com"  followed by "The plugin did

not initialize properly."


So I went to macromedia.com to try and get it installed again, but then

it hung on the AutoInstall page (the Step 3, when you see the Flash

player movie playing below... page) and never installed.  The page where

it hangs is

http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=Flash4


I tried turning off Enable Install on Demand and running the

autoinstall, and then turning it back on and rerunning it, but it won't

install either way.  WinNT, IE 5.0 -- what to do next?
