Flash9 Error 1904 Insoluble Problem

Question

Each time I try to install Flash, I receive the following
error message:
Product: Adobe Flash Player 9 ActiveX -- Error 1904.Module
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash9d.ocx failed to register.
HRESULT -2147220473. Contact your support personnel.
My permissions are exactly as they should be, but I ran
subinacl.exe anyway. I have uninstalled and reinstalled countless
times--several times with my firewall and virus scanner turned
off--and I have also registered the .ocx file manually
(successfully, according to the message I received). I have used
ERUNT to restore my registry to a date before Flash went wonky (a
little more than a week ago).
I have tried several different installer links. Some of them
refuse to work because they say there is a newer version available.
When I check IE7's add-ons, there is no Active-X control for
me to enable.
I'm at the end of my rope with this, so I hope there will be
a fix for it soon.

Answer 1

I am a network administrator on my organisations domain. We
recently had the 1904 error on a number but not all our machines
after rolling out the flash9 active x msi from Adobe.
After many fustrating hours of research and testing. I looked
at adobe articals about permissions on the Shockwave.Shockwave
registry keys and registering flash9.ocx with regsvr32.exe and had
very little luck.
In the end I created .reg file containing certain keys and
sub keys (the subkeys is partly what fixed it for me) from a
working machine. And copied the full contence from the
c:\winodws\system32\macromed\Flash from the working machine to a
usb drive.
I then deleted the contence of the
c:\winodws\system32\macromed\Flash on the machine with the error
and replace them with the copy I took from the good machine.
I then ran the .reg file I created.
This fixed all our machines.
I have attached a copy of the .reg code below, First backup
the registry and then if you copy the text below in to a txt file
and then rename it to be .reg, and double click it to load in it
into the registry.
Then if you go to a web page that uses flash such as a
youtube video it will all work fine.
----- copy these files first from a working machine.
