Reinstall Flash Player 6 After Installing Internet Explorer v5.1.4 Update

1999–2004April 22, 2002Macs Only!Internet
According to Brian Nakamoto, Flash Player 5 was installed with IE 5.1.4 when he updated. He had to reinstall Macromedia Flash Player 6. The plug-in is in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins. The latest version is 6.0r23. You can verify that it's working properly by going here and mousing over "About", if you're not already taken here automatically when the install is complete. We had to manually remove our v5.0r58 plug in and then run the v6.0 installer. [Update: Robert Suznick sent the complete link for the OSX version of Flash 6 and we have updated ours above. Apparently, the Macromedia web site has trouble detecting IE 5.1.4's Mac OS X version.]
