Flex Data Services 2: Flash Player incorrectly redirects to the Adobe Download Center instead of the initial MXML page

Issue

---

When a user does not have the required version of the Flash Player and browses to an MXML application, the Express Install process prompts the user to install the current version of the Flash Player. After the Flash Player is updated, the user is incorrectly redirected to the Adobe Flash Player Download Center instead of the initial MXML page.
