Hi, first of all, sorry for any misspelling, I'm Argentinian . I'm writing here because I've tried a LOT of ways and solutions to install Flash Player for IE, here some facts:
I mostly use Google Chrome, that has the FP already installed, but i have a problem with the ActiveX control, I can install Flash player 11 for windows but Not ActiveX... i read that that's a tool for IE, so i thought i wouldn't be needing it, but when i tried to execute a program (Game Ranger) it said that i needed ActiveX control and that i didn't have it in my computer.. So i started to check for solutions, etc etc. and finally give it up because i just couldn't do it, but well now I started again because I want to know if it's something important to have..
The problem when installing is this: It starts to download Flash Player.. then install it and when it's in 51% it stops and a message appears saying: registry error. this is what happens when I try to install ActiveX, not Flash Player itself because as I said earlier I can install it...
All I want to know is if there's some way to allow Flash Player installation to change registry values.. because i think that's the main problem.. i think. Thank you for reading.
Edit: Forgot to tell information about my system.
OS: Windows 7 32-bits
FINALLY FOUND THE SOLUTION!!
This is where I found it > http://forums.adobe.com/message/4086663#4086663
Finally, after 6 months I have installed ActiveX, thanks to that person that fixed it
Anyways, I'm grateful with you guys, I was impressed by the speed that you answered my question, thank you very much.

If Carl's steps don't clear this up, you might want to give this FAQ a try in case we're dealing with a registry permission conflict:

Tried it. Same error, which is the last one in this page: http://kb2.adobe.com/es/cps/191/tn_19166.html#main_CommonErrors
As Pat said, here's the list all files there are in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash (after following Carl's instructions)

Some clarification: ActiveX is part of Internet Explorer, you cannot "install" it.
Flash Player is installed either
If you still have problems after following Carl's instructions above, please

Interesting, the script in the FAQ should have taken care of that for you too. Did you have to specifically add your username as a user with full access to the folder? Do you believe that the msi was key in your installation?
If you have a few minutes, I'd like to see what your permissions are so I can try and resolve this for other users. I've got a script in the following post that outputs the user permissions for these folders and files. You'd just need to run it once and send me the log.

I believe that what fixed the problem was the .MSI file, because I then realized that i didn't change any permission (but i thought i did).
So, what i think was more important is the installation via the .msi
I'll run that program and then send the log to your e-mail. Thanks!
Edit: Sorry! I forgot to say that i tried your solution Chris, but it didn't work either
Again thanks for you help
