Flash Player for 64bit IE

[trebills]

Does anyone know if it is possible to install flash player somehow on IE 64bit?

Not yet. Adobe says they are working on a 64 bit flash player. For the time being you must use the 32 bit version of IE (included in W7 x64) or another 32 bit browser to view flash.

This has been discussed at length on the Vista forums, Adobe are slow at catchingup with everyone else.

i just downloaded the 32bit version of ie. ya know what i got? "internet explorer is not supported on this operating system."

got anything else to offer? that sounded like a good idea. i'm only guessin that firefox follows suit. or opera or safari. anybody running one of those in 32bit?

 

[swarfega]

yep 32-bit flash wont work on 64-bit browsers.

You are a master of understatement.

The 32-bit version of IE is already installed. Try going to C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\ and running iexplore from there (or try clicking the link that doesn't say 64-bit on the end in your Start Menu).

well, i think i've found the solution. i was able to install ie8 x86, and it installed flash (or had flash already installed). when i got to macromedia, things were moving about as if i had flash. so it does work. thanks to everybody for their input.

Ummm - 32bit IE is already installed. All you have to do is run it and install Flash player.

I see this tread was dead for a while...
I installed Win 7 RC 64 bit and am using 32 bit IE, however, every time I get to a website that requires Flash Player, I get this annoying "the web site wants to run the following add-on: Adobe Flash Player..." I have installed it several times. Is there a way to do it once and for all?
Thank you

I understand that and I installed 32 bit player (10.0.32.18 - it is in my installed programs list), but almost every web site wants to install it again every time I visit them. Yow can I fix that?
Thank you

What browser? any addons?

It might help "registering" direct x if you uninstalled then re-installed it Often direct x doesn't completely n-install if you use cpanel to remove. there are specific directx uninstallers for it

[Krout]

Sorry, it's IE8 (32bit)
I did not uninstall direct x (yet), so I shouldn't neet to re-registere it, right?
Here is a shot of my add-ons

IM wondering if its an IE thing or directx thing. You might want to try another browser (firefox?) to see if it happens there. Obviously if it doesnt then you can start looking at IE, if it does then you can confinue thinking its a directx thing.

Have you searched both here and google for direct x problems relating to IE?

That's where I got it from...but strange thing - when I go to Adobe's site it offers me to install Flash Player of the same version that I already have. It does not sound right, does it?

No, I have not. I guess it will be my next step. Thank you
