TEST POTENTIAL FIX for 1904 Flash Player install issue:

If you have the 1904 error, please test these steps to see if they allow
you to then install Flash Player 8. Reply back to the thread with your
results..

You will need to be comfortable editing the registry with regedit. If
you are _NOT_ comfortable editing the registry then it's probably best
to just wait until we confirm a solution and publish a technote, or to
take your machine to a professional.


STEPS:
In the registry find the following keys (if they exist). Then right
click and grant read/full control to Administrator.


HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash
ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.1
(There is NO ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.2)
ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.3
ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.4
ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.5
ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.6
ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.7
ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.8
