Try copying it to your device and tapping on it or try putting it on your computer and with your device synced tap on it.

Unfortunately, I don't think Flash Player for PPC works on Second Edition.

To install it, you must download the installation executable (exe) file to your "host" computer, not your PDA. Before opening this file, you must make sure your PDA is running Active Sync and connected to the host. Then, when you open (double-click) the exe file on your host it installs the Flash Player plugin on your PDA.

I tried this several times on my X50v and it appeared to work. The plugin was in fact installed on the PDA. However, when I attempted to view Flash content on several Web pages the plugin was not recognized and I received a "no Flash" page instead.

After reading the Macromedia Web site documentation on Flash Player for PPC, including their rather vague troubleshooting page, I strongly suspect that the current version is not compatible with Second Edition.
