Adobe flash doesn't install

The following error: 

Hello,
I am not able to reproduce the behaviour you are experiencing.  The installer downloads fine and launches without getting the damaged disk error.  Have you tried downloading the installer again?  Please delete the file you downloaded and try to download it again.
Thank you.

  • Adobe Flash will not install. (Shows errors.)

    I tried to install the Trial version to at least know what I'm buying, but it stopped and showed all of these errors.
    OS: Windows XP Service Pack 2
    It's also a 32 bit system. Is that why I can't install it?

    Thanks in advance. I would really love to work with this Flash player.

    Hi, I'm not sure what you are trying to Install. Adobe Flash Player, the browser plugin? Or the CS5? If the former, then you are on the correct Forum. If the latter, you may want to start a thread on one of the other Forums from here and use the "Select Forum" drop down arrow.
    http://forums.adobe.com/index.jspa
    However, it appears that your system is a 32bit and this WARNING #5 on your list shows that what you are trying to Install is for a 64bit OS. You may need to make sure you are using the correct version.
    See if that is what the problem is.
    Thanks,

  • After the latest version of Adobe flash player was installed, movies and tv shows will not play, and

    After the latest version of Adobe Flash Player was installed,  movies and tv shows  will not run, and most of the news videos will not play. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but that does not help.

    I have windows (crap) seven and internet explorer.  When I try to access movies or tv shows, I'm always asked to install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.  When I check the programs list, it indicates that Adobe Flash Player Active X is installed.  I have uninstalled adobe and reinstalled it several times.  Do you suppose this is a virus, and I need to redo the hard drive completely?

    Does someone know what to do?

    1. Draw your button (a rectangle, circle, your graphic)
    2. Select it and choose Modify> Convert to symbol
    3. Choose type "Button"
    4. Give it an instance name on the "Properties" window, like my_btn
    5. Create a new layer and place your cursor on the first frame for the layer you just created
    6. Press F9 in Windows or open the Actions window Windows > Actions
    7. Write code to indicate the function for the button:
    function playVideo(event:MouseEvent):void
         myVideo.play();
    my_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playVideo);
    function stopVideo(event:MouseEvent):void
              myVideo.pause();
    myStop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playVideo);

  • Adobe Flash doesn't stop downloading content if told to do so

    Couldn't reply to this: [http://example.com https://support.mozilla.com/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?locale=en-US&comments_parentId=369682&forumId=1#threadId738381], but have the same problem.
    Adobe Flash doesn't stop downloading a once started embedded video if you close the tab/firefox or right click on the embedded flash content and choose Stop Download.
    Only workaround for me so far is to go into my Windows Firewall Advanced Settings and then there opening the Windows Firewall Properties Dialog and '''blocking Outbound Connections in the Private Profile tab''' to stop the flash plugin.

    why does facebook say adobe flash is not installed when it is - windows 7 IE11????

    Unless you're on a company computer and locked down to prevent using anythng else, I'd recommend you drop Microsoft's pathetic excuse for a browser and download Firefox.
    Then install the Flash Player Plug-in (For other browsers), and free yourself from the chains of the guys in Redmond, WA who can only seem to get things right 50% of the time.

  • I just installed Lion and now my adobe flash doesn't work at a website where i like to use it to cam

    I just installed Lion and now my adobe flash player doesn't work to allow me to cam at a website that uses adobe flash to support camming there.  It worked fine yesterday when I had  Snow Leopard installed but right after I installed Lion it stopped working.

  • I too have ADOBE flash player 11 install problems.

    Hi folks.
    Yes, I have seen the other posts.
    I can't get it installed.
    I have a version but not the latest.
    Sorry I don't know the version I have installed, but it would be about 7 or 8.
    I've read other people's posts who have had their problem/s resolved.
    Alas they don't help me.
    Originally I didn't know I had to exit FF, so I tried again.
    Downloaded the program, exited FF, and ran it.
    When I run the .exe file I get this:
    Initialisation encountered errors.
    Failed to initialise.
    And that's that.
    File gone, and it doesn't install.
    Anyone?
    I hope I am not making a fool of myself, but there again, it may be of benefit if I am for the sake/help of others.

    You can also try this Adobe link: https://www.adobe.com/go/getflash
    If the OS (XP) and browser (Firefox) is not detected correctly, click '''Do you have a different operating system or browser?''', choose '''Windows (32-bit)'''*** in Step 1, wait a few seconds and choose '''Flash Player 11 for Other Browsers (32 bit)''' in Step 2. Exit Firefox ('''File''' > '''Exit''' or '''Firefox''' button > '''Exit''') and try to install the downloaded file.

  • Adobe Flash Player Issues (install.....not working!!) PLease help!

    A couple days ago Youtube stopped working for me saying
    Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old
    version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player.
    So i did.. First it didn't work, (saying it installed
    successfully) but there was no movie showing it installed. I did
    this installation at least 15 times. Then i started getting the
    Failed report telling me to go to the troubleshoot site for Windows
    adobe flash players.
    i have Windows Vista (a 32bit i believe) and IE 7
    I did what it said. when i got to the uninstall everything. i
    did and then i couldn't get Adobe to install it back on! I tried
    everything i could think of, i went to all sorts of sites to try to
    find answers. I did the sublnACL and it didn't work. My internet
    settings are fine.
    Somehow i got the flash on my computer by saving the
    installation on my computer and then installing it. But still it
    didn't work. I tried to repair it. or open the documents and
    install the update but it didn't work. Usually the Adobe flash
    would seem to delete itself when i did that. it seems i have
    restarted my computer a million times for all of this....
    I've deleted my temporary internet files and everything it
    tells me to do on YouTube (i love youtube BTW) and it still wont
    work....
    java seems to be working fine all updated and on and
    stuff.....
    when i try to download Adobe Flash PLayer 9 again it tells me
    it installed completely but i don't see the movie...and YouTube
    STILL doesn't WORK.... :(
    i don't know if i have left anything out that i have
    tried.... but PLEASE help!!! BTW this was after the Adobe Update i
    think

  • Can't run Adobe Flash player after install

    I installed Adobe Flash player as administrator in Windows
    XP. Now when I'm logged in as a non-administrator user, I cannot
    run the Flash player. I just get a message suggesting I download it
    when I go to a website that wants to use it. If I go to the same
    website logged in as the administrator, it runs fine. Has anyone
    encountered this problem?
    Thanks.

    Try another browser.   Here's why I say that.
    "User-Agent Strings"
    That doesn't mean a lot, I'm sure, but it's the root of your problems, and Flash Player has nothing to do with it.
    Microsoft "rewrote" the User-Agent Strings for the abomination they call their latest and greatest browser. User-Agent Strings are what websites use to identify the browser you're using and provide the proper content for it's browser engine, like ActiveX stuff, and Flash or HTML5 video. Thanks to the geniuses in Redmond, WA, the User-Agent Strings for IE11 (which has a Trident engine), ID it as either "Gecko" (Firefox) or "Webkit" (Chrome). Problem is: when the site the directs to the content for one of these two engines, the Trident engine in IE can't intepret it and the site then sees IE as an "unidentified" browser.
    The problem with an unidentified browser is that the plug-ins in that browser aren't recognized either, so even though you're up to date, it says you need the latest Flash Player when you use IE11. YouTube... has converted to HTML5 video so if it doesn't detect Flash Player, it can display HTML5 (MP4) video which requires no plug-in to play. Facebook can't do that, because HTML5 doesn't apply to games... only video.
    Microsoft has no plans to "fix" the mess thay've created because they think it's a great idea to block you out of the websites you visit.
    They recommend using "Compatibility View" and pretending that you're using an older verison of IE... Problem with that is that it's seen limited success, and you have to enable it for EVERY page that has problems... individually.
    I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
    Firefox (from Mozilla)
    Opera (from Opera)
    Safari (from Apple)
    Chrome (from Google)
    ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

  • Can't find adobe flash player after installing

    I have downloaded and installed the latest version (12) of Adobe Flash Player on my Windows 7 computer.  I checked the help page and it says it is installed and I see the clouds moving.  However, I cannot find the program on my computer.  I am trying to watch some movie video clips from a website and it keeps saying I have to have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player to watch it.  I have downloaded and installed it 5 times now to no avail.   I have turned off my computer and turned it back on each time.  I have Norton Internet Security but I told it to allow it when it installed.  I really want to watch the movie clips.  Where can it be and why doesn't it run?  Thanks to anyone who can help me.  (I am not really technical so please make it not too difficult if you can).
