Flash encoder install problem

Question

When I tried to open the Flash Encoder, it tries to install
the encoder software and searches and cannot find an Encoder.msi
file. I point it to the installation cd but that doesn't work. Any
suggetions? I have Sutdio 8 and everthing else seems to work fine
but the Encoder.

You need to override the auto update feature from outside of
flash.

Use their uninstaller again. Then make a file with
notepad(Start>Run, notepad or notepad.exe), call it mms.cfg and
put one line in it with the following text:
AutoUpdateDisable=1
and put it in c:\Windows\system per that page I linked to:
For player versions prior to Flash Player 8, store the
mms.cfg file in the following location depending on the operating
system:
Windows NT, 2K C:\WINNT\System32
Windows XP C:\WINDOWS\System32
Windows 95, 98, or ME C:\Windows\System
After you uninstall, you may want to grab CC Cleaner and use
that to remove just the flash data, but dont mess with the other
stuff.
