found this while testing the new installer of shockwave,assigning to arun 
ranganatan since he has the macromedia contacts

steps:
1 Do not have any flash/shockwave installed on ur box in any browser
2 use 0817 build and go to shockwave.com
3 you will be taken to this page 'http://www.shockwave.com/sw/error/flash4.html'
4 click on 'download the flash player' from here  
'http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=Shockwav
eFlash'
5 close your browser and install flash.
6 Launch browser,go here : http://www.shockwave.com/sw/content/faceball
8 click on 'Play Game'
9 downlaod shockwave player from here:       
http://sdc.shockwave.com/shockwave/download/frameset.fhtml
10  launch shocwkave installer and select only 6.x browser (there is another 
issue here...even when u specifically tell the installer to install only in the 
highlighted browsers, it installs in all 4.x browsers and 6.1 and 6.x browsers 
on my machine). If this is not a bug, then macromedia should change their 
wordings in the install dialog..chek for urself
11 Go thru with hte installation ceremony and relaunch browser and complete 
registration . After clicking 'NEXT' in the registration dialog, this page opens 
up :  http://www.shockwave.com/error/session.html

This is not a serious problem.  It happened to me.  Here's the message on the
page http://www.shockwave.com/error/session.html :
You've reached a page at Shockwave.com or AtomFilms.com that has been moved,
renamed, or deleted. To continue using the site, please try one or more of the
following steps:     

* Click your browser's Back button to return to the previous page you visited

* Click your browser's Refresh button to try reconnecting

* Return to the shockwave.com or AtomFilms.com home page

When I did click on my browser's Back button, everything worked fine!  CC'ing
grandmaison and mtomlin.  I will talk to them about making the process a bit
more seamless.

the last year the flash and shockwave plugins have become a lot better than they
once used to be.
Anyone still having this error?
