[SWFObject] Express Install problem

[Geoff Stearns]

it should redirect you back to the the install page.

have you tried any other browsers? adobe was having some issues with  
expressinstall a couple of weeks ago, but i think they were all taken  
care of.

it works by setting a sharedobject on your local machine, and then  
reading that from the 'about' flash player page, so if it's not  
redirecting, that page must not be finding the sharedobject that the  
installer sets.

can anyone else try a expressinstall and see if it works for them?
