Reread the initial message: install on demand means the current version is notinstalled. I tried a Flash extraction technique and the install on demand windows kept on coming!
I'm going to assume you didn't bother to read the link?

Had you, you would have seen this....

2. Prevent the "Do you want to install Flash?" dialog from appearing...
So, we still need to stop IE from asking over and over if you want to
install Flash again when you view a page that has embedded flash! (Why
do we have to do this? Because IE and NN don't have options for
disabling and re-enabling flash, the sneaky buggers!!!)
So, add this line to your "Hosts" file using notepad (hosts is in the
c:\windows\ directory in Win 98)... it's probably slightly different for 2000
or others. It often has the line "127.0.0.1 localhost" in there already...
In my case, it didn't exist (only Hosts.sam, a sample file). So I created
it. No extension. Just "Hosts". No sure if capitalization matters.
0.0.0.0 download.macromedia.com activex.microsoft.com active.macromedia.com
(It seemed like I had to reboot for #2 to take affect. If this still doesn't
work, perhaps try a separate line for each mapping...)
Done!
Does that not solve the install on demand pop-ups?

Thanks for the Mozilla hack jkrohn. I'll be applying that tonight.

Oh 2000 and XP systems the Hosts file is called LMHosts and it resides in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc - just where you thought it would be!.
