Difficulty downloading latest Shockwave Player

Question

I recently had to reinstall my hard drive and, thus, installed the latest version of Shockwave Player. The installation seemed to proceed normally; however, when I attempt to access a site that uses Shockwave, I get the following error message:
Missing Shockwave Decompression XTRA
When I click OK, I get the error message:
Error playing Director movie.
I'm running Windows XP, with IE 8.0.  I have attempted to uninstall Shockwave, but can't find it anywhere on my add/delete programs menu. All my other Adobe programs are there, just not Shockwave. I have attempted to reinstall Shockwave, and after clicking on "agree and install", it goes directly to "in order to install Shockwave, you must restart computer". Upon restarting, I'm back at square one: same error messages and no way to fix it.
Any suggestions?  Thanks!

Answer 1

Thanks! I tried your suggested download and ran into the following two errors:
1 - Error opening file for writing: C:\Windows\System32\Adobe\Director\SwDir.dll
In the interest of checking to see if it would do without that, I chose "Ignore" instead of "Abort" and then ran into a second problem:
2 - Error opening file for writing: C:\Windows\System32\Adobe\Shockwave11\SwHelper_1159620.exe
Knowing it would probably not work, I chose "Ignore" again.
I'm still getting the same error messages as originally.
