How to Uninstall Flash Debugger

Flash debugger helps you write code for Flex.

Adobe Flash Degugger is an application that helps you to look for bugs in your Flex code. When you write code for Adobe's web-based platform, you use a debugger to stop the code and examine it as it's running. The Flash debugger allows you to walk line by line through your Flash code to check for errors. You must uninstall the Flash debugger on a website before you install Adobe Flash player on production websites.

Instructions

1. Close any open Internet Explorer windows.

2. Click on the "Start" or "Windows" menu button, then click on "Search." Click on all files and folders, then type "flash.ocx" into the Search text box. Click on "Search." The Search utility will usually find a path of C:\Windows\System\Macromed\Flash on Windows 95, 98 or WinME; C:\WinNT\System32\Macromed\Flash on Windows NT or 2000; C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash on Windows XP. If your path differs from this, make a note of the actual path.

3. Click on the "Start" or "Windows" menu button again, then click on "Run."

4. Type "cmd" into the Open text box. This will open a DOS command window.

5. Type the following command into the DOS command prompt:

   C:\>cd

   Type the name of your directory from Step 2 into the same line. For example, if the Flash Debugger was found in "C:\WinNT\System32\Macromed\Flash" then your command line will be:

   C:\>cd C:\WinNT\System32\Macromed\Flash

   Ensure you leave a space between the "cd C" and your directory name.

6. Press the "Enter" key.

7. Type the following command into the DOS command prompt to remove Flash Debugger:

   regsrv32 -u flash.ocx.

Tips & Warnings

• You may find more than one location for the Debugger. If this happens, repeat Steps 5 through 7 for each directory where the file is found.
