Error message when you start Encarta 2006 on a Windows XP SP2-based computer: "Macromedia Flash Player 7.0 is not installed in this computer"
When you start Microsoft Encarta 2006 on a Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2)-based computer, you may receive one of the following error messages even though Macromedia Flash Player is already installed:
Macromedia Flash Player 7.0 is not installed in this computer. Click Change in Add or Remove Programs or Add or Remove Application from Control Panel to execute setup again, select Restore. Then follow the steps on the screen and install Flash.
Macromedia Shockwave Player 10 is not installed in this computer. Click Change in Add or Remove Programs or Add or Remove Application from Control Panel to execute setup again, select Restore. Then follow the steps on the screen and install Shockwave.
This issue occurs when the MS06-020 (913433) security fix is installed on a Windows XP SP2-based computer. The MS06-020 security fix prevents Macromedia Flash Player or earlier versions of Adobe Flash Player from installing.
To resolve this issue, remove the currently installed version of Macromedia Flash Player or Adobe Flash Player. Then install the latest version of the Adobe Flash Player. To do this, follow these steps:
- Remove Macromedia Flash Player or remove Adobe Flash Player. For information about how to do this, visit the following Adobe Web site:

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
