By following this thread How to remove pre-installed Flash Player in Windows 8? I managed to delete the flash player but one of my games called Soldier front 2 uses flash player IE Active X for launcher and game. I tried installing from Adobe using Internet Explorer version Windows 7 but it says flash player is already installed bla bla. So, my question is how do I undo the process and get back the native IE Active X flash player windows 8.1?

I found a solution at the last line of this thread but it's too difficult http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/152688-win6x-registry-tweak/page-3

It's at the last line; he says

You need to first extract the adobe flash .cab from a .wim that still has it.

What's that ? You don't know how to extract packages from a .wim, try Bubbles Super Nasty SFX Extractor Tool. (written by myself and bubbles) The trick apparently is to do all this under the TrustedInstaller account so that things extract properly (don't worry, instructions included). It helps you create a package that can be re-inserted via DISM add-package command (or something similarly easy).

So any ideas please help me. I don't wanna re-install Windows just for it :(

  • What is confusing about that? I was able to follow the directions without a problem – Ramhound Aug 15 '14 at 19:01
  • I extracted the .cab file. I don't actually have to "restore" the player since it already works. – Ramhound Aug 15 '14 at 19:05
  • Please i understand nothing help me get my flash player back its completely gone -_- – bijay135 Aug 15 '14 at 19:06
  • I ask specifically what step is confusing about the tutorial? The first step have you repaired the `Windows Compontent Store` by running the dism tool? – Ramhound Aug 15 '14 at 19:08
  • My windows is Fine i just want the IE based built in flash player back for windows 8.1 which i deleted using the win6X. – bijay135 Aug 15 '14 at 19:12
  • @bijay135 You deleted Flash Player for Internet Explorer? Just reinstall it at adobe.com/flashplayer – IAmTheSquidward Aug 15 '14 at 19:24
  • I already said i specially need the flash player for IE based its only available for windows 7 sill when i install it says u already have a built in flash player but its deleted -_- – bijay135 Aug 15 '14 at 19:27
  • My a suggestion to run the DISM command is the first step in creating the .wim file you need. Additionally your component store isn't fine of you remove the built-in flash of course the next step is to use the inverse of that command but your unwillingness to follow simple instructions is a problem – Ramhound Aug 15 '14 at 19:31
  • Try manually downloading one of the Windows updates for it. They're at the bottom of this page: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-issues-windows-8.html – IAmTheSquidward Aug 15 '14 at 19:34
  • Ok im trying active X of windows 7 finger crossed and ill try the update too i just want a working Active X dosent matter which one the inbuilt one or from abode. – bijay135 Aug 15 '14 at 19:35
  • Just stop asking him to "install" flash IT WILL NOT WORK! – Ramhound Aug 15 '14 at 19:35
  • I completed wiped out pre installed flash player from system and control panel using the tool idk if anyone knows how to get is back using same tool again – bijay135 Aug 15 '14 at 19:38
  • I read somewhere installing the update brings back flash player but it says package is not applicable although i downloaded right version so this ones not work – bijay135 Aug 15 '14 at 19:44
  • Horray! At least the IE based flash player from windows 7 worked. The flash for IE was listed under windows 7 section i was searching for 8 .Anyway my game works now still idk what should i do for inbuilt flash would this windows 7 IE flash be subustitue for the inbuilt. – bijay135 Aug 15 '14 at 19:49

I extracted the 64Bit Version here.

Download the file and run this command from a cmd.exe which is started as admin: 

DISM /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\Adobe-Flash-For-Windows-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.3.9600.16384.cab

Look if this works or not.
