• Latest flash player installation fails in IE8/Win XP

  I tried to install the latest version of Flash Player on my XP system for two days. Here is my system info:

  Win = 32-bit Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 3

  Browser = Internet Explorer Version 8.0.6001.18702

  Flash Player - one I used (recent but not a beta) has been uninstalled when I tried to install your latest version on your site in the usual way. After a few attempts to install, I downloaded and executed the Player uninstall program according to the instructions found on your site - Adobe® Flash® Player 10.1 software installation/uninstallation r53 - just to make sure I was doing a clean install. I also downloaded the latest version and it ran manually.

  All attempts to install failed. I saw two different installers, BTW, and all two reported a failure but a reason and suggested to your troubleshooting page.

  I went to the troubleshooting page, where I've tried everything, by the book.

  More recent attempts produced the following message appears when you try to install on your site:

  "The version of adobe flash player ActiveX that you are trying to install is not the most recent version. Please visit http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer_fr for the latest and most secure version. »

  I went to this page, again without success. There is no Flash x components listed in my active browser objects.

  I managed to install the latest version of the Shockwave Player (I tried, just to see if that would fail, but who succeeded).

  I must add that I work from web using Flash 8, so it's also on my system, but I've ever run into a problem installing a newer Flash Player up to now. (And I've been using Flash since before Macromedia, when it was called FutureSplash.)

  Obviously, HELP!

  It almost made me. Countless installs / uninstalls, Poirier, etc later, I finally found a solution that worked for me:

  I hope this works for you, too!

  A damaged Windows system registry or incorrect registry permissions settings may prevent you from installing Flash Player.

  Symptoms may include:

  • During installation, you see the error message "unable to install. For troubleshooting, please see: http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_19166. »
  • Your installation of Flash Player completes without error, but you cannot view Flash content in Internet Explorer.
  • Some sites tell you that you don't have the correct version of Flash Player, even if you have installed the latest version.
  • Some sites tell you to reinstall Flash Player, but after you do, you see the same message.

  Permissions can be tricky, but in most cases, you can install and use Adobe Flash Player, if you are connected to a Windows administrator account. If you are unsure how to proceed, consult your system administrator or read the Windows documentation.

  System administrators

  If you are a system administrator, see permissions for registry required to install Flash Player or update (TechNote tn_19148).

  Solution

  Warning! By following the instructions below, you will modify the Windows system registry. A mistake could cause serious damage to the system, which may require you to reinstall your operating system.

  If you are not comfortable editing the registry, get help from your system administrator or other COMPUTER professional.

  If you choose to proceed, first back up your entire hard drive, and create a Windows System Restore Point.

  Adobe Systems cannot be held responsible for any damages resulting from your following these instructions.

  1. Make sure that you are connected to a Windows administrator account. If you're not, you will not be able to use SubInACL.
  2. Download SubInACL from Microsoft Download Center.
  3. Follow the installation instructions. Make sure you only install SubInACL (subinacl.exe) to the directory C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools.
  4. Download the reset_fp10.zip file.
  5. Open the fp10.zip file and extract the reset_fp10.cmd file to the directory C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\. Note that this file and SubInACL (subinacl.exe) must be in this directory.
  6. Double-click reset_fp10.cmd. A command window will open and SubInACL will run.
  7. Do not use the machine while SubInACL is running.
  8. After SubInACL is completed, you will see a prompt "Press any key to continue".
  9. Install Flash Player on the Flash Player download page.
  10. To verify that your installation was successful, see the about Flash Player page. At the top of the screen, you should see a message that says "Adobe Flash Player successfully installed."

• OSX: Flash Player installer appears easily 10 x per day

  Dear Adobe team,

  On my Macbook Pro with OSX 10.11.6 the app to install flash player launches easily 10 times a day, without asking me for it.

  What is happening is that I do my job and at random, get a pop-up saying that Flash player is up-to-date on my system.

  10 times. a. day.

  Unfocuses some app I work too much so I often in bulk text because of its input.

  I don't know what make the top to open it, I have the following programs open all day: Firefox 48.0.1, Apple Mail, Mailplane 3, Slack, Apple Notes.

  I can't spend a day with these applications closed for troubleshooting, it's my work machine.

  Do you have any suggestions what to do? How do I update the Flash Player installer or why is this application even on my system?

  Thank you very much for your help!

  

  Thanks for the info.

  The reason that the pop - up that happens is that the plugin PPAPI (used by Opera and browser based on Chromium, except Chrome) is an older version of Flash Player.  Update checker runs and tries to check for an update, but the check fails because of an error "unable to connect to the server.  Because he cannot connect to the server, it then returns the message you see.  We have not seen the error returned in your log file and need to continue the investigation.

  Use a proxy server?

  Your system has restrictions on what processes can access the internet?

  If you use the PPAPI plugin, launch the Chrome browser that uses it and go to https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer to download and install the latest version of the PPAPI plugin.

  If you have / use a browser based on Chromium, I recommend you to uninstall.  Unfortunately, the Mac uninstaller program currently does not support remove them that type a (for example, PPAPI only or NPAPI only) Player.  It allows you to uninstall all Flash Player plugins present on the system and you will then need to re - install the NPAPI (used by Firefox) plugin.  To uninstall using the standalone uninstall program or the Adobe Flash Player installed by located in/Applications/Utilities.  After that the player is uninstalled, start Firefox and go to https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer to download and install the NPAPI plugin.

  Restart your system - a hard reboot - arrested, waith 30 seconds and then restart.

• Adobe Flash Player Installer box appears white?

  My laptop is running Windows 7 and I am trying to install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player for Firefox 14.0.0.125. Everything is fine until I get to the Adobe Flash Player installer box, it just looks like a black box empty. I have retried several times now and always empty the box of installation poster. I even waited to see if maybe it was just slow download but I got the install window open for at least an hour now and she is still a Virgin. Is this a problem with my laptop and if if I can help with it or is it a problem with the Adobe website?

  Long ago, adobe has decided not to distribute flash via the believing, but there a workaround for us who do not want to have a Manager to download a 10 MB file. Normally to get flash I go to using flash and download the version of the plugin, but now I go to the same page and the link is not there. using the manager isn't an option, is there another workaround solution or am I forced to download a virtual computer and and taking the plugin like this.

  It is very annoying and a platform that 97% of all PCs have installed, it simply does not exist.

  Hi ctoon,.

  Here is a link to a page that contains the Flash Player installation programs: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html

• Need to force the Flash Player installer to work even if it is out of date.

  There are a lot of PC in our network of the firm has to Flash Player version 11.1, on which is installed. We tried to get version 18 for all these PC, when Adobe released another update and all of a sudden that we used to push the update installation program will no longer work. We must be able to choose a single installer and work with it until all users in our system are up-to-date - regardless of whether or not Adobe releases yet another player update in the meantime. Is it possible to force the installer to work even if it is not the ABSOLUTE latest version? Otherwise, our users will not be just a version behind - they will continue to keep DOZENS of versions behind. I know that Adobe wants to force us to use the latest version of player safety, but in such a case the result is actually less of security.

  Any suggestions? Thanks for listening.

  Hi brandonLancaster,

  Rate of normal release of the flash player is both - per month, the second Tuesday of the month.  Out-of-band releases occur when there are challenges of high-risk security bug, which we had recently.  What seems to have happened, is that client machines have been updated to the latest version, while you try to put a version prior to these systems. We can check this by looking at the FlashInstall.log file on a client computer that returned this error.  The FlashInstall.log file is located in the following location:

  • 32-bit: C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
  • 64-bit: C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash AND C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash

  You can send the contents of the file in your response, or download it by following the instructions that the specified item was not found. and after the URL in the files downloaded in your response.

  To avoid this scenario does not happen in the future, you disable the updates on the computers of your customers and then only deploy updates through your system of the EDSM.  To do this, you will need to deploy a custom file mms.cg with updates disabled for client systems.  The Flash Player Admin Guide examines various deployment strategies in Chapter 3.  Chapter 4 discusses managers features related to security, privacy, the use of disk space and so on, and the AutoUdpates section is on page 31.

  In addition, you can sign up to receive the Security Bulletin and the opinion here notice and Security Bulletins.  When a bulletin/notice is posted you would receive an email notification and can then go download the latest version, when it is validated and remove what to your client computers.
