I have a Terminal Server 2003 and non admin users cannot install and run flash. I have installed flash when logged on as an administrator, with the terminal server in install mode ie
change user /install
install flash then put terminal server in execute mode.
change user /execute

I found the solution here at http://www.brianmadden.com/forums/t/21123.aspx
by Barrie Birchard found this at Adobe's web site
my flash.ocx was found at C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash10d.ocx
Next do EXACTLY THIS:
1. Make sure you have ADMIN privileges to the machine
2. Search your machine for the file "flash.ocx"
3. copy or write down the full path to this file. It -should- be
C:/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash/Flash.ocx
If the file is NOT in that folder, copy it into that folder. Make sure there are NO other .ocx files in that folder. If there is an 'swflash.ocx' delete it.
4. Choose Start> Run
5. In the run dialog, type or paste exactly this line. :
RegSvr32 C:/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash/Flash.ocx
