>> sudo: cfp: command not found

Good catch. I didnt test javascript detection. Just copy that file into the appropriate version directory to have the script switch it.

A swf will report the correct version of the player, but when I left the .xpt file from the previous version of the player, any JS detection for the player would still report the previous version I had installed, even after restarting the browser.

Does the xpt file need to be swapped as well, or was I just seeing things?
