Flash installation error

[Omahaddict]

I just tried it as you suggested.

Here's the error message I got when I tried installing the MSI.



After digging a little deeper, it seems to be a bug caused by the MSI update of Flash, while previous versions were installed via the web installer (which is the case on some machines...).
Flash provides a tool for uninstalling it, `flash_player_uninstaller`, which can be run silently with the `-uninstall` option.

What do you recommend for cleaning up my system?
I thought about creating a package with the uninstall tool that would be a dependency of the Flash Player package so that it runs first, and then incrementing the Flash Player package so that it redeploys correctly on all machines. What do you think?

I tried at one point to include flash_player_uninstaller in the package. But that didn't solve the problems. A cleanup should be included at the beginning of the package

I'm encountering this problem too, have you found a solution?

Okay, sorry about this message, version 8.0.131 seems to work better...
