Flash updates - note to future self

Sometimes Flash updates OK, sometimes it breaks with an error "Actionlist not found".

That's probably because I'm tucked away behind a web proxy, or maye Sophos sticks its oar in.

If the 990k updater (like install_flashplayer11x32_gdrd_aih.exe)  fails, uninstall completely, then get the whole 17MB installer install_flash_player.exe from

( http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player.exe )
That solves it. You're welcome, Future Self.
