We have already contacted GameRanger's Administrator by Twitter:

We're waiting for the answer.

We will try to find the solution/fix for this error message as soon as it's possible, and we will inform you about it in this topic.

Unfortunately the Department of Control still didn't receive the answer from GameRanger.
This problem is known on GameRanger Support forum, for example:
http://www.gameranger.com/forum/?t=8874
http://www.gameranger.com/forum/?t=11177
http://www.gameranger.com/forum/?t=11160
http://www.gameranger.com/forum/?t=11064

The Ministry of Game Affairs (Department of Control and Complaints & Department of Modding, EE2 Software and Distribution Development) found a temporary solution.
You will have to create a new Administrator accout on your computer.
1. Go to the: Control Panel --> User Accounts and Family Safety --> User Accounts.
2. Click on the "Manage Another Account", and then "Create a new account".
3. Create a new Administrator account with any name and password.
4. Log-off from the current account and then log-in to the new one.
5. Install GameRanger (it must be done, even if you had GameRanger installed before).
6. The "Your Adobe Flash Player web plug-in..." error should not appear. If it didn't solve your problem, please contact us in this topic.

Hi, i was hooking two computers up that both said their Gameranger installation lacked a certain adobe flash web plugin.
I looked around and this is what worked out for me:

get.adobe.com/flashplayer/completion/?installer=Flash_Player_11_for_Other_Browsers

.
Downloaded that and installed in both computers and now
both , already , installed Gameranger programs are working. Image

Thanks for the tip, mat-e.
Thankfully we don't longer need to use GameRanger on EE2, thanks to the new multiplayer server integrated with game on Unofficial Version 1.5.
Anyway I find it funny how GameRanger forces people to use Flash player, just to display their ads Image
