I have 64-bit Vista Home Premium with IE7 (also 64-bit). Unable to download and install flash player with that version of IE. I also have 32-bit Firefox and flash player works normally as expected with it. When I view Program and Features, I see Adobe Flash Player ActiveX and Adobe Flash Player Plugin.
Anyone know if its possible to install a version of Flash that will work with 64-bit version of the browsers?

Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

Thanks -- I suspected that.

I came across this fix.
It worked for Firefox 3.0.3 ,I.E. 8 Beta 2, Opera 9.52, and Google Chrome Dev Release: 0.3.154.0.
Here's the scenario: you download the latest and greatest version of the Adobe Flash Player. After it finishes installing, you go to a site featuring Flash content and are greeted with a message notifying you that you need to install Flash Player, but didn't you just do that? To properly update your Flash Player, you need to run the installation as Administrator. Follow these steps to properly install Adobe Flash Player:
For Vista (32 bit):
1. Open Computer.
2. Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\.
3. Scroll down and open the Macromed directory.
4. Open the Flash directory.
5. Right-click FlashUtil9x where x is some letter.
6. Select Run as Administrator.
7. When the UAC prompt appears, select Continue.
8. Follow the Flash Player installation wizard.
For Vista (64 bit):
1. Open Computer.
2. Navigate to C:\Windows\SysWOW64\.
3. Scroll down and open the Macromed directory.
4. Open the Flash directory.
5. Right-click FlashUtil9x where x is some letter.
6. Select Run as Administrator.
7. When the UAC prompt appears, select Continue.
8. Follow the Flash Player installation wizard.
Once the wizard completes, Flash Player has been properly installed and will now function properly.

I want to use Flash Player on my 64-bit browser on Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit. The 64-bit version of I.E. runs about 3 times faster than the 32-bit browser. I contacted the product manager for Flash Player through http://justin.everett-church.com/. I got no reply.
Since then, I found Adobe Flash bug report FP-2726 at the Adobe bug report site for this issue. As of today, it is marked "Priority: None"
