[technote] Installing Flash Player requires restart on Windows

This is an old technote but I was asked about this by a customer at the NAB show this week. Apparently, when installing an ActiveX control through IE on Windows it will ask you (not require you) to restart your machine if the ActiveX control that you were installing/upgrading was already in use when you began the installation. This means that Flash developers should not put any Flash content on their pages that launch visitors in a new browser window over to the player install page on macromedia.com.

I thought it would be nicest to bring this up to eveyone again, in case you weren’t aware. Read the technote here:
