Installing flash ActiveX on Windows Sewrver 2003

How do I install an upgrade to 'Flash' on Windows Server 2003? When I click
on the 'Install Flash' button a yellow toolbar pops up preventing the
install. If I click on the toolbar it gives me a help file that is no help.
I expected an option to install the Flash Active X.

Many thanks.

It's a bad idea to install anything on a server that isn't 100% needed,
in most cases there is no need for Flash unless it's a terminal server.
Most of us download the apps/updates on other machines and then copy
them to the server for installation locally.

Add the site you're trying to download from to the TRUSTED Security zone
and then adjust the settings for that zone to "Default" and try it
again.

I tried that and it did not work.

You have to "soften" your hardened server first...
