  I could use some more information on reproducing this bug. Which context was the Uploader being used in: pop-up, inline, live, demo?

  This looks to me that it might be the IE local Flash permissions bug.

  Here is the error.

  The above error occurs in both the inline and pop-up version.

  It happens whenever you click the 'Browse Files' button.

  For the pop-up version, it will throw the error as soon as you click the 'Add Files' button, but the uploader still loads. The OS File Open Dialog does not open.

  'screenshot-1' shows the Flash global settings manager. There is no "edit locations" option. The permission is set to "Always allow" but the error still occurs

  'screenshot-2' shows the Flash settings manager, running off FireFox 2 from the same virtual machine. Notice that the settings are the same. The only difference is that you can see the "Edit locations" option. There are no errors thrown in FF2

  What version of Flash? I suspect that this may be the same bug as FLUID-679

  updated to the latest version of Flash,

  it is now working, Flash may not have been installed properly before.

  Updated Flash to version 6, appears to be working
