The Macromedia's flash installer didn't worked here for me because I 
have no IE installed. The "alternate" installer requires Netscape or
some kind of browser to be installed. But it seems that registering
the activeX component with regsvr32.exe should be correct. 

I now noticed that everything works, just playing won't work. I can
see in the "Movie Info" dialog that the plugin was able to detect the
movie size (width, height), frame rate, and even the version of the
macromedia flash plugin that is installed ("6"). So it seems to me 
that the communication with flash is working, just showing the
movie isn't.

Here the application installed correctly in "C:\Program Files\
GlobFX Technologies\Swiff Player\" as SWFPlayer.exe. 

I am using fake_windows btw.

Does your SWFPlayer.exe start and is it able to open some .swf 
file and show the info in the File->Movie Information dialog?

Thanks for your help. :)
