[edit]Uninstalling Flash Player

If you are currently using a previously released Flash Player, you will need to uninstall that Player before installing the new debugger version of Flash Player.

Flash Player Uninstallation Instructions

If you are using Flex Builder 3, the installer tries to uninstall your old Player before installing the appropriate debug Player.

Navigate to the directory where the uninstaller was downloaded to.
Execute the following command:
uninstall_flash_player.exe /clean
