Hello, I am just running the installer when it tells me "Waiting for Flash Player installation" please wait for the Flash Player installation to finish, then reload Launch Pad". Well, I have tried reloading and nothing happens, if I click "Get Adobe Flash" I get an error saying I don't administrator privileges (which is wrong...); I even tried downloading the player itself separately, but nothing changed again. Any tips?

Yes, but...Other than that, is there any way to circumvent this issue? Is it even known to SOE?

Who knows if they know about it. For some reason they took the DCUO beta forums down when they dropped the NDA and the only thing up is a facebook page.

You might want to check the soe forums?

There are beta forums that they would have sent you in the e-mail you received,  from there you can get on and look at the issue on those forums and a fix if one exists.

Not really: I got the key from the legitimate Fileplanet giveaway, but not through a SOE email. I have no idea of the location of the beta forums, can anyone of you point a link since we are beyond NDA anyway?

Just download the latest flashplayer and reboot, it usually helps when you get these problems (but I have no experience in this specific case).

I assumed you tried an older version than the latest before?

Believe me I did, and to no avail. :/

What are you talking about?  The beta forums are up and have not been down at all.  I am on them every day.

The error has nothing to do with SOE, it's Windows. It's the default wWindows security settings that helps prevent malicious programs from installing on your computer without your knowledge.  Vista is less forgiving, but it can happen in Windows 7 too.   Try setting the installer to run as an administrator.  By that I mean, right click on the installer's executable file, select properties, and go to the compatability tab and check the box, near the bottom, that says "Run this program as an administrator".   You should then receive security prompts that you need to accept. Hopefully that should do it. If not you could try setting the compatability mode to Windows XP, but I doubt you'd have to do that.

It does install  2 or 3 updates (Flash, directX, C++ Redist maybe).  I think you may get several authorizzation prompts, and some may get hidden behind the other windows.  Make sure you click them all, or the install will not complete.

Its all good. For some reason the same day they lifted the NDA the website decided to stop auto logging me in so as people do i put 2 and 2 together and came up with 5. I just figured they had taken them down for whatever reason. Managed to work out my mistake eventually.

Thanks for the tip. I already tried to Run as Administrator, but in the end the XP compatibility mode worked! I am now downloading the game. See you in DC Universe ;)
