[SWFObject] Express Install problem

[andrew at beammicrosystems.com]

Thanks for responding so quickly Geoff.

Do you have any idea where the sharedobject is saved and what it's called? 
I could have a look for it...

I'll also try on a Windows PC when I get a chance.

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?

Hi, 

I am seeing a problem with Express Install where I don't get redirected 
back to the original page. 

My test setup is: 

Mac OS X 10.4.6 
Safari 2.0.3 

Initially installed versions of Flash tested are 6.0.67 (labelled as 
6.0.65 but reported as .67) and 7.0.19 
I am using the 'proper' Flash uninstaller to revert to earlier versions. 

Using Geoff's Express Install example: 

http://www.blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/expressinstall.html 

I get the small panel saying "Installing upgrade package" 
Then the full blown Flash 8 installer opens and tells me I have to close 
all browsers before continuing. 
There is no way around this that I've found so I dutifully close Safari 
and continue the installation. 
Once complete, the following web page opens: 

http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ 

which tells me I have Flash version 8.0.24 installed, however there is no 
redirection back to the original web site. 

Am I misunderstanding what should happen or doing something wrong? 

Thanks for any insight. 

Regards, 

Andrew
