Problem with Shockwave Flash Object on Win2K
-
Hi guys I hoep someone can help me out here. I have a C# app that runs on my development machine (WinXP with VS2005) and plays a flash (.swf) file. On the target machine which is a vanilla Win2K machine, I have installed Flash v9.0.124.0 and registered the flash.ocx file. I can play the swf in IE, but my application does not play. Have I missed something? Any help will be appreciated Thanks Paresh

Did you get an error message? Did you try debug it on the Win2k PC? Does the eventlog give you any hints?

IronScheme - 1.0 alpha 4a out now (29 May 2008)nothing, just a blank page where the swf should be playing. My test app has a web browser and the flash object on the form, both pointing to the same file. it plays in the web browser part, but not in the flash object part.

Sorry, cant help. Perhaps MSDN forums will provide an answer.

IronScheme - 1.0 alpha 4a out now (29 May 2008)Found the problem The flash installer creates puts some files in
system32\Macromed\Flash
and one of these files is
NPSWF32_FlashUtil.exe
, which should be run. This file then downloads some additional files into the
system32\Macromed\Flash
directory and registers the correct version of
Flash.ocx
Why can't they put this all into the main installer? This cockeyed install means I cannot install flash in unattended mode on my target machines, and they must be connected to the internet for flash to install!
