Trying to install SMP 7.6 on Windows 2012 R2, but how do I install Flash Player?!!??!!?

Dear All,

I am trying to install Flash Player 10 on Windows Standard Server 2012 R2 for the IRCs in the SMP 7.6 GA installation and I cannot install it!

The get.adobe.com website says that it is installed as a part of IE in Windows 8. Trying to download it from Microsoft as an update does not work, as it says that the x64 or x86 versions are not for my version of Windows.

When I was installing SMP 7.5 SP1, I did find that Flash Player will work if you install the Desktop Experience and so I installed that... ...except, when I rebooted and re-ran the SIM, it said that SIM 7.6 was not compatible with Desktop Experience.

How do I install Flash Player to fulfil the IRCs?

Kindest regards,

QuietLeni
