In fact, you do need administrative privs to install universal extractor, catch 22 no?

I am glad I've visited this site. It's interesting and quite usefull.
I've downloaded Universal Extractor, tried to download Adobe Flash Player, but haven't succeded.
I followed your instructions and am not certain, whether righly or not.
I seem to have done everything correctly, but the Flash Player does not appear anywhere.
I.m sure to visit you once again.
Thanks in advance.

if you can't install universal extractor why not try 7-Zip Portable (http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/7-zip_portable) which you can use without administrator privileges.
