Just tried installing MacroMedia's Flash5 player from:
http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=Flash4
I've never had 4.x installed on this machine, and I had two problems installing
the FlashPlayer:
1. Flash installer "Cannot find your browser's plugin directory". I had to
drag it by the nose to the "Netscape 6" directory.
2. Once there, the installation didn't complete because it "couldn't find
NETSCAPE.EXE". Apparently, our name change to NETSCP6.EXE isn't sitting
well. (Let alone MOZILLA.EXE!)
For the commercial product, should we consider changing NETSCP6.EXE back to
NETSCAPE.EXE before shipping? I don't remember why we ever decided to change
this in the first place (dveditz? michaell?)...
I'm filing this as an "evangelism" bug, because someone probably needs to go
encourage MacroMedia to rev their installer.

Actually, John Gable of Netscape Client Product Management will be working this
out directly as he handles Flash bundling. DUP of bug 56112.
