Upgraded flash player, now it won't work (Win7 64bit, IE9)

[midnightline80]

I upgraded Flash Player last night, and now it won't work, period.  I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling ad nauseum, but to no avail.  Based on some of the troubleshooting information, it looks like it's not appearing in IE's list of add-ons, but I don't know how to fix it so that it does - the install insists it's successful every time.

Anyone know what's going on?

Can you list out the names of the files in your c:\windows\syswow64\macromed\flash folder?

Just to verify, have you gone through all of the steps listed here?

If I go to the versions page, it wants me to install Adobe Flash (again), regardless of how many times I've run the installation before.

It looks like you're missing some files.  Let's try and do a clean install to see if that helps.

How do I do a clean install of Flash Player?

That worked, thank you!

I'm guessing my problem was yahoo messenger, since I had to close it in order to delete one of the files for the clean install.
