Impossible to update flash player

Using Windows XP, Firefox 39, desktop PC. I also can't update the latest version of flash player (18.00.209) after MANY attempts. Installation stops at about 50% and then he said: "the Installation failed. I tried download from different sites, that you have disabled the protection against viruses, closed windows browser etc... and get the same results each time. The installation is NOT complete; as a result, I am stuck with the 18.00.203 vulnerable vs, which Firefox has disabled unless I allow it. I am very uncomfortable allowing my 18.00.203 flash player with security issues; However, many sites I visit use flash. I see on this forum, people who know the same update problems; Therefore, it must be a problem on the end of Adobe. I'm so frustrated and would be grateful for any help. I feel that I was in a circle of hell with the directions of installation, all that I have followed closely. I usually put the same installation troubleshooting pages over and over again still no resolution. It's my first time here, so, maybe someone has a solution. Please, I beg you!

Finally, success in updating Flash - a complete accident, but I'll take it! First of all, I checked for malware/viruses...no problems. Then - and this is what seems to have done - I restarted my computer (in general I leave all the time). As soon as he started, I went to FF to 'check updates plug-in' and I saw that Adobe Flash has been miraculously updated! I went to a few flash pages, everything works. At no time during previous attempts to install I was warned to re-boot. Just the installation process stops at 50% and then says 'Impossible' (without reason). I don't know yet why a 'failed' facilities took after a reboot, but this is what must have happened because I did not seek another installation after reboot - was not necessary.

Anyway, thanks a lot for your suggestions and admonitions to update at least to Windows 7. Need a new computer so I didn't want to waste her time with this one (7 years) just get up and keep this as the storage offline and photo processing. He is a computer to measure, the best I've owned and the more stable with my XP. Yes, I know it's time to say goodbye to the old stuff. The small computer shop that built it won't even install Win 8 unless customers insist - they install 7 because it is easier to use and more stable according to them. So you see, it is difficult to rip away from wrong platforms Windows XP users. Maybe they'll have learned something to win 10 - I even Apple due to the terrible browsers that Windows has imposed on us. I don't mind the change, if it's good change.

In the meantime, I'm HAPPY to finally have a flash player update, at least. I met their requirements, so it wasn't my XP that was the question, because that is supported with the new flash. I'm really grateful for the wonderful offers of help in this forum. Try to reboot to others as a possible solution.

Sincerely,

Donna

    I have Mozilla Firefox installed for backup. I checked it. He had the same outdated Flash version, but I was able to update. I prefer to use that is, just because I'm so used to it after all these years. Any suggestions?

    Flash Player is built using Internet Explorer on Windows 8 and higher.  Everything comes through Windows Update.

    Flash Player in Google Chrome is a built-in component of Chrome.  Everything comes through Chrome.

    Flash Player for Firefox and other browsers NPAPI is distributed via Adobe and can be downloaded at http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer.  Settings you change in the configuration panel apply to this specific target of Flash Player.

    Because Microsoft has its own distribution requirements (tests, etc.) which need to be addressed before they can ship, we can beat them occasionally by a couple days when offering security out of the release cycle.  In general, the difference is quite negligible, and synchronization problems are the only practical limitations and a desire to get the fix to the greatest number as soon as possible when we discover something bad in the wild.  We get a bit of a head start on Microsoft because it is our product, but they do a phenomenal job of getting out in timely releases.

  • I can't update Flash player. What I am doing wrong?

    I can't update Flash player. What I am doing wrong?

    I currently have version 21, 22 version is the latest.  I get.

    "Adobe Flash Player could not be installed."

    I did the troubleshooting steps below. Everything is good, as I can tell.

    https://helpx.Adobe.com/Flash-Player/KB/enabling-Flash-Player-Firefox.html

    My Shockwave Flash is set, 'always on '.

    I ran the Adobe flash installer which seems to be successful. Then, I tried a new facility, still no joy.  (He did remove Flash Player version 21, now I have nothing.)

    Suggestions appreciated

    Firefox could block Flash because of security concerns.

    Because of security problems in older versions, Apple has

    updated the web plugin blocking mechanism to disable all

    earlier versions of Flash Player, 22.0.0.192 and 18.0.0.360.

    Information on web blocked plug-ins will be posted to:

    http://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT202681

    The question you should ask is why you have Flash installed. You don't need Flash. If you have not installed Flash, videos will play in HTML5. If the video requires Flash, you can use Google Chrome to play.

    From Sierra, Safari will be is more said websites common plug-ins are installed. It does this by not including not information on Flash, Java, Silverlight and QuickTime

  • Pop - Up Ads and request to update Flash Player

    I did a free trial of mechanic systems and ID Vault.  He was supposed to clean up my computer and run faster.  Couldn't tell any difference, so I uninstalled both.  Now, I constantly get pop up ads and continues to receive the request to update Flash Player.  Can I do something to stop this?  It drives me crazy.  I'm not a technical person so keep things simple.  I just want to use my computer without outside interference.  Help, please!

    Edith

    Hello, Edith,.

    There are a number of things to try. First try this free software: download, install, and run the cleaning for the browser Avast from here: http://download.cnet.com/Avast-Browser-Cleanup/3000-2144_4-75872295.html .

    Who should take care of the pop-up ads. Now for what is already downloaded on your system, try these freeware antimalware scanners:

    Malwarebytes': http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html.

    Super AntiSpyware: http://download.cnet.com/SuperAntiSpyware-Free-Edition/3000-8022_4-10523889.html .

    Then I would run a scan in depth with your antivirus scanner. Don't have one? I use and recommend Avast for free: http://download.cnet.com/Avast-Free-Antivirus/3000-2239_4-10019223.html .

    Let me know if this solve the problem for you.

    Kind regards

  • How install Flash Player via the command line using sudo to install without being invited for the dialog "Preferences updated Flash Player"? Is there a really quiet option, no prompt?

    Since the administration guide, I execute the following commands on a remote host to install flash player. However, the command stalls waiting for "Update Flash Player Preferences" dialog box to decide. I would like to run this command on a remote host and have to install without any warning. Are the other arguments to the "'Adobe Flash Player install Manager" another that '-install ', something that is really quiet? "

    1 extract the bundle to install Adobe Flash Player (install Adobe Flash Player.app) of the. DMG file.

    2 open a terminal window and change to the directory where the .app file is saved.

    For example, if the .app file is saved to the desktop of the current user, type:

    install

    4. type the password to continue the installation.


    Thank you.

    Hello

    You experience this behavior because you use the installer online, download and install Flash Player silently in background, but requires also the user to provide the option to update.  Setup Online is not intended for the distribution of the company.  Distribute Flash Player within your organization, you will need Flash Player (usually free) licenses for distribution.  Apply for a license, go to Adobe Flash Player Distribution. Adobe and complete and submit the form.  After application, you will receive an email with a link to download installers for the distribution of the company.  This includes installers .app both .pkg you can use.  None of these prompts to update the options during installation in silent mode.

    I apologize for not noticing this before, however, I assume that you did not use the installer online since you were distributing Flash Player within your organization.

    Hello

    Thanks for the update.  I am happy that you were able to get installed it.  Always curious to know why the EXE file does not download.  Have you checked your security settings, or maybe anti-anti-virus/firewall settings?

  • I forgot that automatic updates are included when you update Flash Player.  Update was fine, just do not see where to click to get automatic updates.

    I forgot that automatic updates are included when you update Flash Player.  Update was fine, just do not see where to click to get automatic updates.  Please let know us if I need to do anything or not.  Thank you.

    If you use Windows:

    You must be connected starting from an administrator account and not a Standard account.

    Click START, and then click on control PANEL, while the display is set to large icons not category.

    Click the Flash Player icon. The control panel of the Flash drive should appear.

    Click the updates tab. Now, you can check or select automatic update.

    This password is presented by your operating system and is designed to prevent you from accidentally installing the software.

    If it comes to your personal computer and you don't need a password to connect to the computer when it first starts, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to go to this prompt.  If it comes to your personal computer and your normal password does not work, make sure that CAPS LOCK SHIFT is off, and then type the password carefully.

    If this is your work machine and he asks an administrator password, well, you will need to have a conversation with your computer friendly.
