1. Open Computer.
2. Navigate to C:\Windows\SysWOW64\.
3. Scroll down and open the Macromed directory.
4. Open the Flash directory.
5. Right-click FlashUtil9b.
6. Select Run as Administrator.
7. When the UAC prompt appears, select Continue.
8. Follow the Flash Player installation wizard.
Once the wizard completes, Flash Player has been properly installed and will now function properly.
I have tried this on a Dell Vista system and it worked like a charm.
Please try it onto your machines and please let me know if it works.

Many THX for this.


I would like to see more of these posts. Posts that enable us to harness the power of 64 bit.

I only recently found out that we also have a 64bit version of Media Player, and believe me the sound difference is amazing and the sample rate and bit depth are greatly improved.

Don't have the file. It may be a pre-installed OEM app.

Worth a look anyway

I followed this, did not have FlashUtil9b but FlashUtil10a right clicking on this opens an updater, but it fails everytime

Sort of expected it

Pooch

"Flash player for vista(64) bit" - This title is somewhat confusing and misleading.

You "can" use Flash Player on Vista 64, "IF" you use Vista 64's 32-bit version of Internet Explorer. To use Vista 64's IE32, go to "Program Files (x86)", "Internet Explorer", look for "iexplore.exe", from there you can create a shortcut on your desktop or link it to your keyboard like I do.

And no, you can't play flash files on Internet Explorer 64 because Flash is not 64-bit compatible. And yes, I tried the method posted by dinesh. And If you "do" have flash playing in IE, then check the version of IE by going to "help", "About Internet Explorer" and see if it states it's the 64-bit version?

So did you try my method?
Did it work for you?

Since you quoted me

Could you post the information about the browser used on your testing, and also the architecture reported by the taskmanager please.

Since it was installed on SysWOW64 I assume it's a 32bit binary and it wouldn't load on 64bit browsers.

Different sample rate and bit depth? Placebo effect probably?
