Multiple versions may still be required if there is no consistent OS version
in place, or if other apps installed by some departments have installed
different versions of DLLs and other screw-ups occur. Multiply the factors
together, and the resulting exponentiating combinations makes "extremely
easy to install" not so true.

not the most recent version though ... maybe macromedia also hasn't heard of
"auto version checking" ;-)
