Thanks in advance for any replies.

They have to register themselves into the OS registry so they can be accessed from any program on the system... so simply copying a plug-in file from another computer won't "install" it into the new one. I think there was a time once when Flash plug-ins were indeed largely stand-alone and could be copied into each browser's "plug-in" folder, but that was years ago.

Flash has its own installer that has nothing to do with Opera. If it says it needs permission then there is nothing Opera can do about that.
