Adobe Flash Installation Gray Screen Error

Hi,
When installing adobe flash and other adobe products (adobe reader) I get a gray screen once I load the program. Does anyone know how to fix this? I am on a Windows 8.1 64 bit machine.
Also, when installing Adobe Air the installer worked perfectly, I would assume this is because the installer was in a different format.
Thanks.

Hello, I came across your situation, and am having the same
problem. I was wondering did u ever find a solution? I called the
adobe people but they never helped, if you found a solution could
you tell me, cuz I have tried everything i could think of.

Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX -- Error 2753. The File 'InstallAX.exe' is not marked for installation

Adobe Flash GPO Deploy error “InstallAx.exe” Flash won’t uninstall
correctly from a GPO deployment
Error message from EventViewer: Product: Adobe Flash Player 10
ActiveX -- Error 2753.The File 'InstallAX.exe' is not marked for
installation.
I am running Windows 7 and I am trying to uninstall Adobe Flash
Player 10 ActiveX yet I can't find it on the list of Add/Remove
Programs. I have cleaned the registry with CCLEANER application. I
also followed instructions for removing the registry keys of the
following website
http://faultbucket.ca/2010/12/adobe-flash-gpo-deploy-error-installax-exe and still nothing.
I am stuck and I don't know how to remove Adobe Flash Player 10
ActiveX from my computer. Can anyone help me Much Appreciated!

We had this same problem recently and the faultbucket link pointed me in the right direction however the registry entries were different for us.
Most of our computers were fine but some had problems with Flash Plugins and some with Activex and some both.
The best way to fix a computer or set of computers is to first uninstall all Flash and then note all remaining Flash entries in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products.
These entries can vary based on what versions got corrupted on your systems.
This ended up being the fix for us for both Flash Plugin and ActiveX version. We tested it and had great success as a .reg file and are now deploying it via GPO.
(We had 4 defunct registry entries for Flash plugin and 3 for Activex)
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

Unable to install Adobe Flash Player 11 ActiveX -- Error 1722

Hi,
I am unable to install Flash Player 11.5.502.149 on Windows 8. The error reported is:
Adobe Flash Player 11 ActiveX -- Error 1722. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action NewCustomAction1, location: C:\Users\Nick\AppData\Local\Temp\InstallAX_11_5_502_146.exe, command: -install -msi
We have tried running uninstall_flash_player.exe to try and clean things up but this still fails. Is there a known problem with installing Flash player ActiveX on Windows 8? Flash player Plugin works fine just the ActiveX version which does not.
Thanks,
Nick

Flash Player on IE10 for Windows 8 is delivered by Microsoft; use Windows Update to obtain the latest Flash Player version.

There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash:
*an '''ActiveX version''' for IE only
*a '''Plugin version''' for most other browsers including Firefox
*On a Windows system, you should always update both individually.
'''''You do not appear to have the Plugin version for Firefox installed. ''''' If you did, in Add-ons > Plugins you would see "Shockwave Flash ''(version)''". If "Shockwave Flash" is there and is disabled, click the "Enable" button.
Check your Plugins often --> http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
*only the most popular/used Plugins are known by this page
*page will detect only installed, '''''enabled''''' Plugins
'''Install or update Adobe Flash''' 
#'''Using Firefox''', go to the following link and SAVE the download to your desktop so you can find it later. Un-check any items on that page that you do not want to download (i.e., "McAfee Security Scan Plus":
#*http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
#When the download is finished, close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
#Click or double-click on the file you just saved to your desktop
#*In the installation window that appears, click the box to the left of "I have read and...." to place a check mark in the box
#*The "Install" button in the lower right corner will now be highlighted, click it.
#*The installation is quick.
#Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
#To update/install the ActiveX version for IE '''''only''''', repeat the process, '''but use IE to go to the above website'''.

Adobe Flash Installation Problems

Adobe Flash Player will not install on OS X ML 10.8.5. I think that problem is in Firewall or Safari Preferences...

Problem is with Adobe On-line installer of Flash player, which is very buggy and almost always crashes with some error. Please use full Off-line installer of Flash player, download from here:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac/install_f lash_player_11_osx.dmg

Please fix the adobe flash player intergrity check error as soon as possible..

Earlier I did not have this problem but now when I download the adobe flash player , the adobe download manager says at 100% that the flash player did not pass the intergrity check. I tryed every possible solution but nothing is working , it seems there is something wrong with the web page that offers the flash player download.
this is how it happens
adobe DLM starts downloading the flash player
stucks at 2.2%
reconnects & starts downloading
stucks at 4.7%
reconnects & starts downloading
then at 100% an message appears saying that the flash player did not pass the intergrity check..
if I resume the download process it goes on & repeats the same thing
or if I stop the download process then it stops but the flash player completion movie appears saying that I have install flash player version 8 ! ( pretty weird )
I hope adobe will take immediate action for this.
Thank you.

Thanks it worked ! , but I need to know why I cant download it using adobe DLM as usual ? because this wasn't a problem earlier about 3 weeks ago
this happened after re-installing the operative system ( but I have installed the flash player using DLM many times after re-installing the OS , therefore this was not a problem )
my OS is windows XP service pack 2
web browser - internet explorer 6
additional information -
I installed the flash player using DLM for mozila firefox in the normal way & it worked perfectly , no errors at all. it seems this problem arises only for internet explorer. I even tryed the installation after upgrading IE 6 to IE 8 , but the problem is still there
anyway thank you very much for the alternative download link.

Trouble with Adobe Flash Installation

I am having an issue installing Adobe Flash on my MacBook Pro OS X 10.9.2 using Safari. When I try to run the installation, it begins running until about 50%. Then it says installation was unable to be completed. It does not give any more detailed error code. I have enabled pop ups and plug ins, made sure my firewall is off, updated my Safari, etc. Not sure what else to do. Please help!

Meggy644,
try downloading the standalone Flash Player installer from here, then exit all browsers and run the standalone installer.

Trying to install Adobe Flash - receive blank screen

I've been trying to install Adobe Flash 17 from Adobe's website. I have a Windows 7 64bit machine. I have tried to run the file or save and run the file but after the UAC box, another box pops up that would typically show downloading is just a gray box. I cannot download this successfully. The file is flashplayer17ax_ra_install.exe. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Adobe Reader Installer Grayed Out

Hi there,
I've been working on trying to install Adobe Reader XI for the past 3-4 hours to no avail. No matter how many times I reinstall Flash to the latest version, restart my computer, or try installing in a different browser, I inevitably get this screen while trying to use the installer helper (With "Adobe Reader Installer" as the window title instead of "Adobe Flash Player Installer"):
Imgur
It's been an incredibly frustrating 3-4 hours, and I really don't know what else to do. I don't understand why this basic plugin is so hard to install. Currently, I'm running Windows 7 Home edition. Any ideas?

This same problem is posted several times a day, and the answer is always the same: use the offline installers:
Adobe Reader
Flash Player for Internet Exporer - ActiveX
Flash Player for Firefox - NPAPI

Adobe flash: iOS application loader error, error itms-90179 & itms-90096

Hi,
I made ipa file via flash pro cc 2014, then uploaded using application loader which is provided from Apple. (I don't use Adobe Flash Builder.)
The application loader shows 2 errors as below.
- I use the distribution provisioning profile, not the development provisioning profile.
- I made 960*640 app and it's OK on my iPhone 5. (Flash automatically generates the black space on the both sides.) Should I change my resolution for iPhone 5(1136*640)? If so, how can I support iPhone 4?

I solved 90096 error by adding [email protected] file to my root folder which has the .fla file.
I also added this image to Air for iOS settings > General > included file.

Adobe flash installation crashes

MacBook Pro OS X version 10.9.4 Safari version 7.0.5
The downloading of the flash installer is successful, but when it is launched, the installer automatically crashes.
Apple has told me that the program re-runs through the coding hundreds of times until it crashes. Some applications that require adobe flash do work (some youtube videos) but 75% of the time do not.
I have uninstalled and deleted the unnecessary libraries, reset safari, and so on....
Help Please? I'll probably need this for my online class that starts in 2 weeks.....

Try this installer: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player_osx.dm g

Adobe Flash installation launcher never pops up

i somehow uninstalled the Adobe Flash. After downloading the adobe flash player launcher from the official website and opening it no installation guide pops up, but Task Manager shows its running, I am using Win 8.1 64-bit & Firefox as my default browser... No plugin also displays in the plugin finder of the browser..... I have tried a lot and read solutions but nothing was fruitful... So please help

Hello,
If flash is not working and you are not sure what happened to it, try using the uninstaller from here to remove the files if you can before reinstalling:
* Windows: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
You can double check to see if it is still installed on your computer by looking at your list of installed programs (Control Panel > Programs and Features).
Install the latest version here: https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Note that the link usually has an "Optional offer" for the McAfee toolbar in the middle pane - you can uncheck that box as it is not needed to use Flash.
