... However, after installation of the udpate, if I goto some video hosting website, my computer will then update it to Adobe Flash 11. As most video hosting websites seem to require 11. So I update to Adobe 11, then a new Pre-Release comes out and seems to downgrade to Adobe 9. What can I do to remedy this? And, why does OT need Adobe Flash Player 9.0 or even 11.0 for that matter?? Is this even an OT issue? Or, a computer issue on my end? Thanks, Marc ***Sorry I belive this thread can be moved to Technical Support as it seems more appropriate. I put it in General Discussion accidentally.. [Edited by julesrulesny on 5/7/2012 6:59 PM] | ||

However, it does not happen on my Gateway, only my Dell. I run the update , I see a message "Installing Adobe Flash Player 9, this may take a few minutes". And it seems to downgrade from 11 to 9. Anyways, atleast its not an OT problem as it definitely seems to just be a "my computer" problem. Curious tho, does OT/VT utilize Adobe Flash in anyway?? If so, what for? (As I woulnd't expect them too..) Anyways again, THANKS Barry! And, thank you for moving it to the proper thread. | ||

OT updater will force version 9 when a later Adobe Reader version is installed. This happened for example when I just installed 2K. Later on, the windows updater for Adobe will "notice" the old version and offer to install the new version (may be a while afterwards). Then with a later update to OT the seesaw swings back again. I believe this is happening so that when the full Adobe product is installed on a machine, it does not open that but does open Reader. To solve this, y'all apparently hardcoded a check for the presence of Adobe 9 Reader. The necessary fix is simple - just provide a "yes no" option instead of auto-installation.

And when OT installs the prerelease/update - there's no option to choose. Adobe 9 is installed automatically. Then if I were to watch a video online, I am getting a message stating I need "Adobe 11" installed. And eventually my computer will update it back to 11 then anyways. Then the next PreRelease downgrades it back to 9. No option, it just does it automatically. It's not critical to trading or my OT but I do watch video lectures online for Math courses so its important for other reasons.. I do have my other computer which so far seem ok.. And my laptop that I only use for internet purposes anyways as well.. So not OT critical. [Edited by julesrulesny on 5/9/2012 11:33 AM] | ||

Please respond ... The necessary fix is simple - just provide a "yes no" option instead of auto-installation. That way you don't need to "keep up with" the most recent version of Reader. If someone knows that they already have Reader installed, post version 9, they can say "no" to the installation and presumably all the Help files will work fine. | ||

"OT Error, quitting". And that was it. It wouldn't open. I ran the update again hoping it would fix the problem. I can open OT now but still having issues (I'll report it in another thread b/c it keeps closing and freezing),.. see attached screenshot for further clarification on installing Adobe 9. Thanks for reporting it! Marc [Edited by julesrulesny on 5/18/2012 9:13 AM]  Attached file : OT Adobe.jpg (33KB - 525 downloads) | ||

But having said that ... I upgraded to 3a, and I don't have ANY version of Adobe reader installed ... I use FoxIt reader. I was surprised that the install did not force Adobe of ANY type on me. Kudo's! [Edited by Jim Dean on 9/5/2012 5:27 PM] | ||
