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 Flash Player version 10.1!

    I tried to install Flash Player 10.1, and the difficulties I've ever had with previous versions. When I try to install it it comes up with this message: error 1031: [path to FLASH PLAYER] [CODE of ERROR WINDOWS]: the file could not be written due to lack of permissions.

    This should be wrong, because I am the admin of my computer, there is no more authorization on my computer that I currently have. I use windows vista Home premium. I tried adobe support, but they are bloody useless. Someone help me please! I have currently no flash drive because I followed his instructions and uninstalled my previous version.

    Thank you

    Soemthing is definitely wrong with this file!  Let's try a clean uninstall and reinstall:

    The installation of Flash Player folder is now empty?  If not, can you reboot and see if that the DLL file is now gone?  If not, can you try to remove it manually?

  • 64-bit system cannot install flash player

    Help!
    Hello
    I don't see any artwork/photos on Web sites. The photo has an 'x' in a box in the upper left corner of the picture frame always and tells me that I need to install Flash Player. I have a 64 bit system and told me to make my computer a 32-bit system to install FP. No same indication as like going to this topic or if I shouldn't!

    http://pietschsoft.com/post/2006/12/Vista-experience-update-Windows-Vista-x64-runs-32-bit-Internet-Explorer-by-default.aspx

    The Internet Explorer shortcut in the Quick Launch toolbar, and in the x 64 Vista Start menu will run the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer by default. Why run the 32-bit version if IE on the 64-bit version of Vista?

    There are actually two shortcuts for Internet Explorer in the "Programs" menu Why two and what is the difference?

    This is the title of each and they run exe:

    Internet Explorer
    "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Internet.

    Internet Explorer (64-bit)
    "C:\Program may Explorer\iexplore.exe.

    One runs IE in the "Program Files (x 86)" folder, this is the 32-bit version. The second is the 64-bit version.

    See you soon.

  • 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.

  • 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
