The flash player license agreement: you must be * laughing at me!

After going through this experience each update, which only gets worse every time, I am now convinced that the only people using Adobe Flash Player are liars.

Yes, liars. Because to install each update, we must check a box that says that we have read and understood the license agreement of the Flash Player. And what happens when an honest person trying to meet this requirement?

By clicking on the link takes you to a Web site. Ok. But you can't see it because your view is obscured by the installation of flash player window that has an always-on-top property. At this point, my opinion of Adobe is already in the toilet. But wait, it's even worse!

You go to a page that contains a ridiculous number of links without any indication of those that you must accept. Of course, there is one who says Adobe Flash Player (several in fact), but there are also general terms of use, policies... should accept us these institutions? Do we not have to consent to the entire page of value of licences? How the hell is someone supposed to know?

Since we don't know, let's just assume that one scored Adobe Flash Player is the only one. Now, us open and guess what? It's in a PDF file. So we cannot read unless we agree to the terms of another product. So who brandished in court then heaven help us.

Now, let's say that we have a reader of PDF from another source and it is somehow able to open the file. Guess what, it is 304 pages long! That does not include other documents that it references. Better yet, it starts in Arabic and who knows how many other languages all pile into the same PDF file and no way of knowing where English is without scrolling the huge document, which technically we agree that we understood in its entirety, which is basically impossible because no one knows really all of these languages, then How could they really know what they read? Those who do know all those languages must do more productive things with their time searching this garbage every time Adobe patched their next gaping security hole.

Even if I did read and understand all of this, is it possible to know what the parties has changed since the last update? No, you have to read it all again everytime. The probability that someone is doing it is zero. Now, you're training users to click through agreements without read or understand them then and lie to this topic. I'm tired of going through this every Adobe update. This is it. Good bye.

The folly of trying to read the Adobe Flash Player license agreement

    I get this error message every Helen I try to use youtube.  I try to download Flash player and it tells me that it is not supported in 64-bit mode.  Y at - it a solution?

    The solution is the responsibility of Adobe. They say they are working on the issue. When it will be solved, Adobe can only say.

    Meanwhile, in the start menu. All programs, you have a 32 and 64 bit Internet Explorer listed? I think you should as it is what, in a 64-bit Win7 machine. Otherwise, use the 32-bit when necessary, or all the time until the flash player issue is resolved. I put IE shortcuts on my taskbar for the 32 and 64-IEs. Bruce Hagen MS - MVP [Mail]

  • install the flash player

    Whenever I have install adobe flash player, it is said that he has been successively installed. But, when I try and use it for a video, it says the video must for me to install flash player. I've installed flash player several times, without success. I get the message, I need to install flash player, although I installed it, and adobe has said that it has been installed successively. What in the world gives? Can you help me? Thank you.

    The forum software does not detect your Flash plugin. Can you check if it's disabled? You can do so here:

    Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > addons > Plugins category

    It should be listed as Shockwave Flash. If it is disabled, it is sorted downwards on a gray background.

    To see if the Flash player plugin at its usual location, see this file:

    C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash {based on Windows 7 64-bit}
    

    You want to find NPSWF32_11_7_700_224.dll

    If this file does not exist, you may need to install again. Be sure to specify that you want the player for non - IE browsers.

    http://get.Adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/

    If it's there, but Firefox is not found:

    (1) you will need to exit and restart Firefox to re-scan for new plug-ins. (After that, you can use history > restore previous Session to recover your most recently used windows and tabs.)

    (2) if it does not help, the setting to scan the registry for the new plugins may have been disabled. You can see here:

    (A) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (B) in the filter box, type or paste the scan and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (C) If plugin.scan.plid.all is not set to its default value true, double-click it to activate it by default. You will need to exit and restart Firefox to trigger another analysis.

    If this change does not stick, find a user.js file as described in this article: How to fix preferences that will not save.

    Fingers crossed we solved somewhere along the line!

  • 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.

    -Brandon

    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.

  • How to accept the end user license agreement in adobe reader?

  • I have a MacBook Pro. I can't install the Flash Player updates. Help!

    I can't install the Flash Player updates.  Every time I try, I get an error message that says that the installation will not be interrupted; until I closed Safari.  Well, when I left Safari, then press Retry. I get an error message indicating that installation cannot arrive at this time.  I don't want my exposed computer, due to having an outdated version.  I need help.

    You must close the Safari, not only the window of the browser process.

    If you do not know how to restart your Mac and then run the installation program downloaded before anything else.

  • How to block all the videos and ads on all the site as how it is when it shows the gray screen when the flash player needs to be updated

    Hi there please help me. I didn't have this problem until two days ago when the browser updated itself. I have the youtube video downloader add on and always use it. I'm on a data plan and it used to block videos and add ads which I like, but now is not because of the update, I came back to the old version, but it did not help and I downloaded the flash but block it does not work. It makes the slow loading of pages and uses a large amount of data that I tried many things like all the plugins of switching to add it on the menu to activate ever and it doesn't quite work. Before it used to show the gray screen, where it says "the flash player is out of date" on videos and commercials, but he does not do this because of the update so please help me to do it again.

    I solved. On the firefox support page they will give you information about the HTML5 player and they say there that firefox uses it only 38 version before so I'm 36 version and it worked in blocking it as before.

    So its all sort and if everyone wants to do the same thing go to https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/ and all previous versions will be there.
