Download Alternative Flash Payer Auto-Updater
Anyone know how to uninstall Alternative Flash Player Auto-Updater? I can’t find it in my Control Panel and I don’t recognize it in my registry. How do I get rid of it?
Thanks.
It uninstalled the beta versions from fileHippo and installed the stables ones instead. Uninstalled it.
For those of you that download it from Adobe’s website, just do what I do and download this from fileHippo, it doesn’t require adobe air download manager.
You can do away with the opencandy “offer ware” by extracting the exe using inno unpacker. Just delete the opencandy folder and you can run the app as a portable!
Tested on xp pro 32-bit. I hate the adobe air download manager. This was a nice change. Just hope it continues to work.
