Flash Player 8 Installation Problem Resolution

Solve | The problem

Today, I downloaded Flash 8 Beta 2 from the Forum, after installation, click SWF Unexpectedly or Flash Player 7, I believe many friends also encountered this situation, the Forum also gave a solution by the way, but I feel that no need for such trouble, Now let's talk about the problems and solutions that are encountered during installation (for reference only):

①, as I said above, the window title still shows Flash Player 7 instead of Flash Player 8 when you open the SWF.

Workaround: Locate the players folder in your Flash 8 Beta 2 installation directory, click Enter and see two folders, and then click into the Release folder, and then you will see Install Flash Player 8. MSI this file, click Install. But the problem again, the installation process will be a pop-up error prompts the window to say what can not be registered, to solve this problem is not difficult, is the C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\ folder in all the files deleted, and then reinstall, The error prompt window will no longer appear.

②, after we solve the first step of the problem, excited to click on the SWF file is not displayed SWF content, but a Flash Player update window, naturally we will choose to remind later or not install the option, but it will let you down, Because whichever one you choose does not display the contents of the SWF, the window closes, and when you click the SWF file again, the annoying window is still displayed. Is the so-called wave surging, but only choose to update, but who can expect the problem again, when the file download to 100%, pop-up window unexpectedly tell download file error, had to try again, but no matter how many times you try the situation is a sample!!

Workaround: Open the C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\ folder and delete the GetFlash.exe file inside, and then open the Players folder under the Flash 8 Beta 2 installation directory, Copy the SAFlashPlayer.exe file inside to the C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\ folder and rename it to GetFlash.exe.

Now you try to open the SWF file again, there will be no more problems, and without restarting the computer, you can open the SWF file, Flash Player version is also like your 8
