I am having trouble installing Flashpaper 2 on my computer running Windows 7. It works on a computer running XP. One strange thing during install was an error message that just disappears. It read: Error 1904. Module C:/Windows/system 32/Macromed/Flash/Flash.ocx. Failed to register. Does anyone have an idea as to what may be wrong?

    Hi cacorreia,

    This is caused by insufficient permissions in the Windows registry.

    Verify that you have local administrator permissions when installing FlashPaper.

    1.Log into Windows with an account that has local administrator privileges.

    2.To check to see if you are a local administrator:

    •Right-click on My Computer.

    •Select Manage.

    •Expand Local Users and Groups, select Groups, double-click on Administrators and verify your account is listed.

    3.After confirming that you are a member of the Administrator group, install FlashPaper from the software installer.

    You may also refer the below mentioned link and follow the steps provided.

    How to install FlashPaper2 on Windows 7

    I've wrote the solution here:

    http://sites.google.com/a/imustknowsomething.com/flashpaper2-windows7/

    This required using Microsoft's Windows Print Migrator 3.1 and exporting a working WinXP FlashPaper2 printer to a .cab file

    Step 1: Uninstall FlashPaper2, if applicable

    Step 2: Run uninstall_flash_player.exe

    Low Trust Users: Download latest @ http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player.exe

    Step 3: Run FlashPaper2Installer.exe

    Low Trust Users: Download latest trial @ https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=flashpaper

    Step 4: Run printmig.exe

    Low Trust Users: Download @ http://download.microsoft.com/download/4/5/2/452d431e-5a5c-43bd-b398-6fc27208e001/printmig.exe

    Step 5: Load FlashPaper2.cab @ http://sites.google.com/a/imustknowsomething.com/flashpaper2-windows7/FlashPaper2.cab

    (Low Trust Users create your own on a XP machine w/ successful FlashPaper2 install using printmig.exe via Actions > Backup...)

    Click Actions, or press Alt + A

    Click Restore..., or press R

    Locate FlashPaper2.cab, click Open

    Wait for process to complete...

    Step 6: Open Devices and Printers

    Right-click "Macromedia FlashPaper", select Printer Properties

    Click on the Ports tab

    Verify the FlashPaper port is checked.

    Click OK

    Verify the "Macromedia FlashPaper" printer is online.

    You're good to GO!

    Step 7: Re-install latest Flash Player @ http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

    Hi, 

    This worked for me. Thanks mate. 

    Kudos to you. 

    Well, joy was short lived, installed Flash after testing,  then I ran update for Spybot. Suddenly FlashPaper installation started and gave error stating that C:...\Flash.ocx is not registered. 

    When checked FlashPaper icon was gone from Devices and Printers.

    Tried installing FlashPaper it is giving same, error.

    Will try your method again to see if I can install it again.
