Re: [Flashcoders] Proxy for Express Install
i think setting up your own proxy for express install would be way more trouble than it's worth... you'd have to have every plugin version and do platform sniffing and return the correct plugin for each platform.. then when adobe updates the Flash player, you'll have to update all your stuff... it wouldn't be very much fun. it sounds to me like the DNS hasn't propagated across to some of your DNS servers yet. so as a temporary fix, you could try replacing the fpdownload.macromedia.com in the express install code with the ip address of the server (make sure you get the ip address from a computer that the install works on) i don't recommend this as a permanent fix, but it might work until adobe takes care of their DNS issues. you should also try e-mailing someone over there - the flash developer relations person (i'm not sure who that is anymore) and see if they have any insight into the problem.

Re: [Flashcoders] Proxy for Express Install
Thanks for the advice. I was thinking about what you just wrote and I agree, it would be a headache. I have, however, tried to reach someone at Adobe via email. With their feedback forms and Flash Player help forms, 5 times already with no response. Do you know of a more direct way to get their attention?
