Flash 8 Video Encoder installation fix ...problem

12:55 AM

does anyone have any information on how to install the flash 8 video encoder.

It keeps telling me that it is unable to find the file
"Macromedia Flash 8 Video Encoder.msi"
at the location
"C:/DOCUME~1/username/LOCALS~1/Temp/{2BD5C305-1B27-4D41-B690-7A61172D2FEB}/"

am I doing something wrong?

....
I solved this one on my own, 5 min after asking the question... Look to my second post for the answer.

I know I should have written my method long ago; yet, it is here now and that is all that matters.

Step 1: go to control panel and select add or remove programs

Step 2: select macromedia flash 8 and click change, and then leave the dialogue that comes up, "macromedia flash 8 - install shield wizard", alone.

Step 3: go to start>program files>macromedia> and click the "flash 8 video encoder" icon

step 4: after the encoder has installed and opened, close the dialogue box that opened in step 2.

step 5: close the application, don't be afraid, it will come back up again.

notes:
remember not to close the flash 8 installation/repair dialogue until the process for installing the video encoder client has finished.
