Yes, I had a similar experience, but with IE. It said it was installing 9, but when it finished it said I still had 8. So I uninstalled my flash players from both IE and FF, but then it wouldn't install in IE at all.
I ended up going to weather.com at which point IE gave an ActiveX warning and asked if I wanted to install Flash Player 9 - I said yes, and then everything worked fine and I now have 9. I eventually realized that when I was installing 9 it said to close all other browsers.. Which I didn't, so I'm thinking that may have messed something up? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of neo binedell Sent: Wednesday, June 28, 2006 2:43 PM To: 'Flashcoders mailing list' Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Flash 9 player is public?Whereto getFlash 8 codebase? Yup I went through something similar (in FireFox, IE worked fine). Downloaded installer, closed FF, ran installer, says everythings ok. Load up FF, go to flashplayer/about and says "You have fp 8.0.24" (cant remember exact version). Ran installer three times, still the same. Then installed Flash 9 IDE alpha preview and suddenly it was fine. Quite funny as my Mac was connected over the same connection as the PC and both had browsers open to same address and I got a Mac download page on the PC ;p ~neo -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Merrill, Jason Sent: 28 June 2006 08:43 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Flash 9 player is public?

Then when I did it again with Flash 8, it updated to Flash 9 successfully and THEN said I had Flash 8 installed. So then curious, with Flash 9 installed, I went in and clicked install once more for kicks, and only THEN it said I had Flash 9 installed... not going crazy, that really happened. :) Something screwy with the player detection?
