Symptoms that occur

After exiting Elfreina, the following "Program Compatibility Assistant" may appear.

このプログラムには flash.ocx が必要ですが、このバージョンの Windows にはもう含まれていません。

Conditions of occurrence

This happens when running in the following environments:

  • When running on a 64-bit OS
  • When you open Wizard Help

cause

The wizard help determines whether to start as a 32-bit application or a 64-bit application depending on the OS execution environment. If the OS is 64-bit, it is launched as a 64-bit application.

In addition, the wizard help uses IE components to display help, and if it is launched as a 64-bit application as described above, the IE components will also use 64-bit ones.

However, as of 2010/07/04, the 64-bit version of the Flash component is not available, so the above warning dialog will be displayed. (Flash
If you display a page that is even slightly related to )

Countermeasures

There are no failures caused by this warning. Flash just doesn't run when you navigate to a page with Flash. If you click "This program has worked properly" in the above dialog, the warning will not be displayed when Elfreina is terminated from the next time.
