try to uninstall flash gives an error mscms.dll

Flash player 11.0.1.152

Cannot install Adobe Flash Player 11.0.1.152. Message: "C:\Windows\System32\mscms.dll is not designed to run on windows or it contains an error." Solution?

If you have access to a computer that is running an identical copy of Vista, copy C:\Windows\System32\mscms.dll to a flash drive, say F:\temp\mscms.dll. Then replace the copy corrupted on your computer as follows:

  1. At a command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER: takeown /f C:\windows\system32\mscms.dll.
  2. Type the following command and press ENTER to grant administrators full access to the file: icacls C:\windows\system32\mscms.dll/grant administrators: F.
  3. Type the following command to replace the file with a known good copy of the file: for example, type copy F:\temp\mscms.dll C:\windows\system32\mscms.dll

If this does not work...

If you can get a copy of the Vista SP2 full retail DVD, you can try an upgrade inplace to repair Vista.

The procedure is described here:

http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-Vista.html

or here

http://WindowsSecrets.com/top-story/WIN7S-no-reformat-nondestructive-reinstall/

(actually for Windows 7, but the procedure is very similar)

It will not work with the disk recovery which is provided with, or created, most computers with Windows preinstalled.

If you can't do either people, you'll probably need backup all your files and restore the factory State.
