Cannot install Flash for Firefox

I was invited today by Firefox to install the latest version of Flash. Unfortunately, the installer says I have not sufficient permissions for the file C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32.dll. If I understand correctly, that would mean I don't have administrative permissions, but I do. I'm on the only account on this computer, an administrator account.

I downloaded the uninstall program to try to start over. He uninstalled successfully, but when I tried to install, I get the same error. Now, I have no flash at all for Firefox.

I tried to use IE instead and it worked perfectly. I can view flash content in IE now fine. Unfortunately, I guess I have to install for Firefox separately, because I can't always display the flash content in Firefox.

I use the latest version of Firefox on Windows 7 64 bit. Does anyone have an idea what to do?

OK, it seems that this file is really 'stuck '.  There is only one way to get rid of it: use a file unlocker.  Google search for "file unlocker" and you will find a tool that helped me a few times in the past to get rid of stuck locked files or others.

Let me know if you need some help with that.

Once you get rid of this file, try the install again.

  • When migrating from MS EDGE (Flash) for Firefox on a PC laptopis it is necessary to download and install Adobe Flash Player to see the live streaming?

    My computer ASUS laptop was originally a Windows 8.1 OS, and I used the latest version of IE as my browser. I then upgraded to Win 10 and used MS Edge as my browser for the last year, or almost. I know that Adobe Flash Player is embedded or pre-installed in Win 10 or an edge. I'm now migration to Firefox. I was able to watch the live broadcast in MS Edge (athletes on Canadian channels TSN and Sportsnet). Streaming live isn't working / start now that I use Firefox. I thought that since Flash Player is already "installed" there was nothing else I needed to do to watch the live broadcast. Query - do I need to download and install a version of 'fresh' Adobe Flash Player to work with Firefox, well there is a 'work' Flash Player who continues to work with Mrs. Edge?

    Yes, Flash must be installed especially for Firefox.

    Other browsers use their own version of Flash and with some, it is integrated or the Flash plugin is supplied with the browser. NPAPI - Plugin for Firefox and other browsers based on Gecko, PPAPI for Chrome, Opera, Vivaldi and Edge, ActiveX for Internet Explorer

    Firefox needs the NAPAPI - version of the Flash Plugin. which is a proprietary owned by Adobe - not open source as with the Mozilla mission.

  • Cannot install Flash 11 in Firefox

    Hi all.

    After several attempts of frustrating to get flash install, I wanted to post here to try to get assistance.

    Im running Windows 7 Pro SP1, 64-bit and try installing flash on Firefox 7.0.1.  I can download the installer from here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and it allows me to download a file named install_flashplayer11x64_mssd_aih.exe.  I tried to run this file under my normal account and as an administrator.  It will be run the file, bring up the UAC dialog, and then that's it.  There is no other box popping up, no progress bar or whatever it is in the same direction.  However, if I open the Task Manager this process is still running, but does some cycles CPU.  It shows also that the process of his running the installer as a 32-bit (indicated by the * 32 at the end of it in the Task Manager) if relevant. 

    Nothing happens, and I did not flash.

    I purged my temp folder to remove the additional installation files copied it, I launch the program uninstall and rebooted several times and no dice.

    I'd appreciate any insight really and/or assistance that can be offered by anyone.  I'm happy to make an additional contribution if this can help get this resolved.

    Thank you!

  • Cannot install Flash Player as "only one version of this application can run.

    I had problems with Flash Player earlier today and decided to uninstall it (from Windows 7) and reinstall from scratch.  I uninstalled and tried to reinstall it but now I get the following message appears: cannot install Flash Player as "only one version of this application can run" I tried to uninstall I checked to see if there was still a program to install but it does not exist. I checked my files in Windows and there are several files called Install_Flashplayer _16x32... files. I assume that they are created whenever I tried to install Flash Player.  I thought to delete many files install FlashPlayer but decided to ask for help before taking this step.

    Browser: Firefox 35.0.1

    Windows 7 Home Premium

    64 bit OS

    I managed to install Flash Player and it works. I deleted all the installation files except one who did not want to be deleted, then I started to install Flash Player, until I got the message about the conflicting demands. I then used the Ctrl + Alt + Delete to open the Task Manager, then closed all tasks except the Flash Player one. Flash Player finished the installation. Then, I opened a TV Player in Firefox and was able to play a program that requires a Flash Player.

    Why don't I have to use the Task Manager to close applications. I don't remember the last time that I used it ut think that it was a year ago, when my computer would not shut.

    Cannot install itunes for windows - error: Apple Application Support is required to run Itunes Helper. Uninstall and reinstall (as I did twice)

    For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

    The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

    Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

    More information area has direct links with the current and recent buildings if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for old video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with QuickTime software or a third party.

    Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

  • Cannot install Flash Player for Firefox

    I am running Windows XP it with SP4.  IE and the latest version of Firefox are installed.

    In IE and Firefox, trying to install Flash Player with the standard binding, I get an error message in a small window opens, the title "getPlus + (R): error," text 'Cannot load a GUI,' box 'OK '.  I got this by locating a stand-alone installation for IE, who uploaded a file to install it on my computer.  However, this does not work in Firefox, even when access to this link from Firefox.  The file runs, but Flash Player still shows as not installed in Firefox.

    I can't find any program separate stand-alone installers for Flash Player for Firefox.

    This error seems to be generated by the Adobe getPlus product installer.  My thought was to uninstall the Adobe installer and try again.  However, the Adobe installer appears in the list of installed programs, accessible via the Control Panel, BUT by clicking on the button to uninstall the program does nothing.  The program is still present.  I can't find a location for the installer from Adobe on my hard drive.

    Hi Chris, I'm very well know the DLM/getPlus/getPlusPlus/NOS. :-) I see that you are too much now :-) Most users have no problem removing DLM to Add/Remove/programs and features through Control Panel.

    There are a number of things to check. Using IE, go to tools > Internet Options. Click settings, and then view the objects. There that anything appearing on the above?

    When you tried to delete the DLM, were using the administrator account?

    Now, using the start SEARCH, enter in the "part of the name of" gp.ocx and note where it is and right click and delete it. Then, run a SEARCH on gp.inf and do the same thing.

    Did you uninstall Flash Player using the Adobe uninstaller program then try again to install FP in FF?

    I have some info Add ' l on the DLM, etc and will try to get it.

    Thank you

    Flash Player: do not use the DLM - it causes no trouble!  Download executable installation programs from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html

  • I can't install the Flash for Firefox plugin

    I can't install the plugin for Firefox (Firefox version 1.5.0). Flash I tried to install the latest version 9.0.16.0 to the Adobe Download Center. There is no error messages or warnings during installation.
    The Flash for IE plugin works very well.

    I have all tried, uninstall the pre-installed version (7), re - install FireFox, uninstall all plugins, download and install everything again... still the same problem.

    Hello

    I don't think that it has something to do with the software pre-installed Toshiba.
    I recommend the forum of firefox or flash installation support.

    PS: I read on the net that it is possible that flash player has been placed in the right folder and links shows on the wrong file. Someone has checked and changed manually.
    Try a bit of google.

  • Lion 10.7 8.0 Firefox cannot install Flash Player

    I'm having all sorts of trobule with sites... my IGoogle page and on and on and just happened to see this evening that Firefox has guess I got the Flash Player. I had downloaded a week ago. (osx .dmg file) Tonight, I downloaded 3 times and installed 3 times and uninstalled 3 times. I double click the .dmg, double-click the icon of installated, agree, leave or choose Firefox.   He moved to 100%.  It indicates that the installation is successful, but then I go to applications or search the entire computer and I see is to install Flash!  I download the right pair?  I am a basic Mac user and an old lady and I'm completely lost.

    Just re-read your answer and you DO not restart the computer.  You can go to the HD?  PS download (png), that I had said not intel he said osx.

  • My Shockwave Flash for Firefox (and IE) plugin causes computer/browser crash & restart, but only for the worms. 10.2 +. 10.1 & below, no problem. Any difficulty?

    I had this persistent problem of Shockwave Flash crash my system and causing an automatic my PC restart, as soon as I try to play flash videos (any browser, in fact). However, as long as I keep my flash to version 10.1 and not update it, it works fine. The problem is how long can I keep it like that until some future tweak of the same general Web site if flash sites that prevent work?

    I want to know if there is a fix so that I can install future versions of the Shockwave Flash plugin and actually make it work so I don't have to use such an archaic version of the Flash more (gag, even if I say this, I again Flash, it's so awkward in any version, I wish websites would turn to some other standard videos already).

    If anyone has an answer, please let me know. (My computer works on Windows XP with Firefox 12, either said by the way. Oh and I would love it if there was a way to get Firefox to work on the iPad, Safari is such a crude, childish browser, it has almost no Add-ons useful or features custom at all.)

    I just noticed that, in the subject line of your message, you specify the ActiveX of Flash for IE version causes the same problem. I wonder if there could be a problem with your graphics card driver software. Have you checked the firmware updates?

  • Cannot install flash player, download run script error: could not set correctly - undefined reference innerHTML or zero

    Unable to download/install Flash Player, download script error: cannot properly set innerHTML reference undefined or null

    Hello

    The script error is caused by the DPI setting on your system.  If the DPI setting is set to 100%, 125%, 150% or 200% Setup returns the script error. If your DPI setting is set to something else, please set it to one of these and Setup online should work.  To check/change the DPI setting:

    1. Start the control panel and go to control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Display
    2. In the left menu, select set size custom text (PPP)
    3. In the Windows Setup custom DPI select 100%, 125%, 150% or 200% in the menu drop-down
    4. Click OK
    5. Select apply
    6. Open a session/disable
    7. Online installer should now run without displaying the script error.

    A fix for this should be released in the coming weeks.
