[new feature] Put the ActiveX and NPAPI Installer in one file or use a small webinstaller

Hello Adobe,

because the windows users don't understand why they (sometimes) have to install both types (ActiveX & NPAPI) of the Flash Player, the installer should install both types at once !

I see lot of messages like "I have Flash installed but getting a message Flash is not installed".

 

I think the best way is to use a small web installer with these options (two checkboxes, both active as default):

- ActiveX for Internet Explorer and some other Programs (like Outlook Express)

- NPAPI for Firefox, Opera, Chrome*, ...

[next button]

 

The webinstaller should then download the (offline) installers based on the the user selection.

 

This will solve many user confusions.

    I have already made a similar request over a year ago at https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=2945082

     

    However, since Internet Explorer 10 will come with Flash Player embedded, I do not think that this is going to happen.
