Try open the PSI and find Flash player 9.x on the list. Click on it and take a look at the path.
Should be alot easier to find the program now.

Spreading the word is all: go to www.revo-unistaller.com download and install. It will hunt it down and resolve the problem. From system add/remove to program files to the registry. Happy hunting |

Yes, it is a totally awesome uninstaller and registry file cleaner. If this is who I am replying to. Wonder if the original starter of this thread ever got adobe to uninstall for him? Everybody else is using 10. |

I also have this issue. I know where the version 9 files are and now have version 10 but neither Secunia nor Revo will either offer the option of uninstalling or actually overwriting them or an equivalent action. How do I get rid of these version 9 files safely?

Have you restarted your computer after uninstalling Flash 9.x?

Yes, but as I said neither Windows, nor Revo, nor Secunia gives me the POSSIBILITY of removing these files. I have just checked the "date modified" ... they still appear to be being used.

Have you used Abobes own Flash uninstaller?
Use it, reboot, rescan. Then it should be gone :-)

I suppose I shall have to do that now. It will remove version 10 of course as well and I shall have to reinstall it. As others have said, why can't a company like Adobe get such a simple thing as upgrading software nice and clean and right first time?!

True, they should really make it easier to update flash!
Also, it is really necessary to have a plug in for both IE and Firefox? cant they just use the same one?

Can't have one plug for both SECURITY you would be giving a potential exploit vulnerability via a compatibility stream thus exposing both browsers. I have for about the last month used a update checker from filehippo.com it is free and the really great thing is filehippo handles a direct update install directly from their site. It appears to have a 4 star rating and is highly talked about on the web. Secondly it has a free standing install. |
