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.

Hi bdo3917, and a warm welcome to the forums! 🙂

Download this if you haven't...

http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp10.1.102.64_and_9.0.289.0archive.zip

Once downloaded if it doesn't unzip automatically the double click on that file.

Look for the fp 10.1.102.64_and_9.0.289.0archive folder, open it, look for the Flash Player 10.1.102.64 folder & open and look for 10 1r10264 folder & open it, double click on the flashplayer10 1r102_64_ubmac.dmg file, choose the Install Adobe Flash Player file to install... they don't make it easy! 😟

and this couldn't have been more specific (which i GREATLY appreciated)
