Shockwave Error #10
There is little to no information on how to resolve Shockwave error 10. This error also includes a statement about files missing. (" Shockwave Error: 10. One or more Shockwave files are missing ") Un-installing and re-installing the IE plug-in doesn't help either. The method found to fix the problem was to copy files needed. In this case they were on the same computer. In your case, you may have to get them from another system. The files are located in two directories. The two directories are located in the windows system32 folder in shockwave directories under macromed (or macromedia) and adobe. One of these two directories are missing the files needed.
The first step is to run an uninstall of the shockwave player using control panel add/remove programs. for Vista and Windows 7, it's program and features. reboot if the uninstaller says to. Go to c:\windows\system32\adobe\shockwave and also open another explorer window and go to c:\windows\system32\macromed. Copy the files from the directory that has more files to the directory which has fewer. If there are not files in either, get them from another computer running the latest shoockwave player add-on.
Once the files have been populated into the directory or directories, go to a a site or THE site which you have tried to use and discovered shockwave isn't working. Don't use adobe shockwave installation site to test. In the case that I experienced this problem, the shockwave site worked but the actual site I was trying to use didn't. the site that uses the shockwave plyer will detect the player is not installed and give you the prompt to install the component. follow the short procedure to install the plug-in. If the message window has an option to trust the publisher, then check the box to always trust the publisher. Refresh the page if needed or even close the current browser window and reload the page you're trying to view that has a shockwave component in it.
Web Based Remote Support Software
Supporting flash is fairly easy. Most often the user is prompted to install the software when they connect to a web site online that has flash content. For some web based plugin and software desktop add-ons remote support can be built into the solution for remote downloading and installation. If the web site script and software developer built into the web site's pages the proper software code to check if the remote user has the web based plug-in installed then the remote user gets prompted to install. This is one of the better developments in software detection and in particular web based software detection. The remote user is prompted to download and install the flash player web browser plugin add-on and more often than not the user chooses to install it. Once installed on the remote computer either by the automated download or by using web based remote support software, the plugin remotely accesses the server and checks for software updates periodically. Flash then prompts the user requesting confirmation before downloading and installing the update to the software browser plugin online. With the remote user's consent, the software is installed from the remote server and updated.Labels: 10, active-x, error, error 10, IE, player, shockwave

thanks, that helped a lot. I copied the fiels from one directory to another. I went to the web site that I was trying to use that has embedded shockwave in it's pages. I was prompted to install shockwave plugin and this time the installation worked. thanks again.
I didn't think this would work but i gave it a try and it did. after I had tried un-onstalling and re-installing so many times. I could have saved a lot of time if I had found this post sooner.
thanks.
thanks dude. that worked. I just copied the files from the adobe folder and then re-installed again by going to the site that said I had a problem. bam! working it's now.
