adobe flashplayer on a powerpc

hi, i know this has been discussed here before and i have read all the advice but there's one piece that i haven't been able to find.

so, like many others, i made the mistake of trying to upgrade. of course, the first thing i did was to uninstall my current flashplayer (don't know what version that was). but then i, of course, couldn't install the current flashplayer since i'm on a powerpc.

i've read that i can use one of the archived versions (apparently 10,1,102,64 is the lastest that can be used on a powerpc). i've downloaded a couple possibilities from the "archived versions" page but (and here's my big question) they don't seem to come with any sort of INSTALL device. i've got them on my desktop but i've got no way to install them ! can anybody help?!

2 GHz powerpc G5, Mac OS X (10.4.11), safari browser

If you see the actual plugin files, not the dmg download, drag them to the /Library/Internet Plug-ins/ folder.

Neat utility but one wonders exactly what you're allowing them to do with:

"* Audit. Plaino shall have the right to audit your compliance with the terms of this EULA. You will grant Plaino access to your facilities, equipment, books, records and documents and otherwise reasonably cooperate with Plaino in order to facilitate any such audit."

Is this one of those "calls home occasionally" things, and when it does, what does it say?

Also try Niceplayer which seems to play a whole host of formats.

I haven't used it much, but Little Snitch hasn't caught it trying to call home yet.

Before you do, please start your owen thread.

Your problem may not be exactly the same as that of the original poster of this thread, and it can be very confusing for everybody if we try to answer more than one question in each thread.

In order for us to give your problem our undivided attention in order to try to solve it, would you kindly start your own thread, describing the trouble you are having in the fullest detail, including completing your details to show what Mac you are using, what operating system, and what version of the application in question.
