Well,

Grab the Uninstaller here:

http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/support/uninstall_flash_player.exe

run it; it will uninstall ALL flash player versions

Next let make sure you have the correct processes closed.

Open a CMD prompt Run a Command as Administrator from the Windows 7 / Vista Run box

copy/paste the following one by one or make a bat file to do it all in one step How to Write a Batch File (with Examples) - wikiHow

taskkill.exe /im plugin-container.exe /f

taskkill.exe /im firefox.exe /f

taskkill.exe /im iexplore.exe /f

taskkill.exe /im flash* /f

taskkill.exe /im battle* /f

That should close any flash dependent programs ( that I know of )

next in the cmd window do the following:

ATTRIB -H -S -R C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash /s /d

ATTRIB -H -S -R C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash /s /d

rmdir "C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash" /s /q

rmdir "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Flash Player" /s /q

rmdir "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player" /s /q

IF exist C:\Windows\SysWOW64 rmdir "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash" /s /q

( note IF you are on 32 bit you can eliminate anything with sysWOW64 )

Next try installing the files at the bottom of this page one by one.

Hopefully that will get you up and running. ( why Adobe does not provide a bat file and automate it is beyond me to simplify it for end users)

Good luck

This worked wonderfully.  Thank you.

No problem! I got this fully scripted but Adobe does not want to use b/c they want you to pull your hair out lolz.

If anyone wants it, they and send me a message and I will provide it, All you need is the uninstaller, and all flash version listed in their pages, place it in the same folder as my script and run, its literally that simple

Kind Regards
