Installed Flash Player Is Not a Debugger – FlexBuilder 3 Error

Recently I and my team started building so-called RIA kinda solutions and we are doing it using Adobe family of technologies Flash, Flex, ActionScripts, blazeds, weborb and etc.

We are using Adobe Flex Builder as the IDE for developing the same. The debug feature for the Flex was working on few machines and in few machines it threw us an error as below.

"Installed Adobe Flash Player is Not a Debugger" with a detailed message saying, Flex Builder cannot locate the required debug version of Adobe Flash Player. You may need to install the debug version of AdobeFlash Player 9.0 or reinstall Flex Builder. Do you want to try to debug with the current version?" Installing the Flash player from the link provided in the error message also did not help.

I searched the internet for a while and could not file anything useful to fix this. This has become annoying and we found it was difficult without debugging.

This is what I had done to fix it. Uninstall any Flash player from Add Remove Programs (appwiz.cpl).

Locate the player directory with in the Flex installation location and typicall C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\Player\win

Execute the installer "Install Flash Player 9 Plugin.exe". After Bang F11 for debug, it should work like a charm.

Thanks for posting your solution. It helped me to fix my same problem.
However, I didn't uninstall all the flash players, I just find the Player\win\Install Flash Player 9 Plugin.exe file and run it, and the error goes away.
