Another one that can't install Flash

I have W7 with IE9. I tried to install flash but it fails, even when IE is closed. I checked the background processes to make sure there were none running and it still says to close IE. I have also looked in the Add-ons and unchecked Active X filtering under Tools/Safety. I tried loading it thru the MSI but get the same results. I found a couple of articles that talked about a couple of MS updates, but none of those were loaded on my machine. I was able to load it using Firefox with no problem. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks

Vikram,
Thanks for the help, but that didn't work either. I got the following error message, "Flash Player could not be installed because an existing version may still be in use. Please close all applications using Flash Player and try again."
I didn't have IE open and I checked my processes and IE was not running in the background. The only app that was open was Word.
Thanks,
Jim

  • Have had crashes with one computer but not another. one that crashes has adobe flash payer 15 active x installed. should I uninstall it

    I have two dell computers - one with 7 and one with 8. have numerous crashes on 7 but not 8. noticed Adobe flash player 15 active x is installed on 7 but not 8. is this the problem. should I uninstall it?

    It’s very sad, but many of the software down-loaders / installers will trick you
    into installing not only their program, '''but other programs as well'''.
    You have heard of the '''fine print in shady contracts''', right? Well, some
    installers you need to look at the '''itsy bitsy teeny weeny fine print'''.
    You are thinking you are giving the installer permission to install the program
    you want by using the '''recommended''' option. But if you use the
    '''Manual Option Instead''', you discover all kinds of stuff that
    '''you do not even know what it is or what it does'''. From now on,
    everyone needs to '''Use The Manual Option''' to put a stop to this.

  • Another one who can't Install Itunes Version 6

    I am trying desperately to download Itunes version 6. Everything was fine until I downloaded the update and now I cannot get Itunes to install. I go through the entire install process, and everything seems fine, until the very last page and a popup comes up saying "Itunes has encounted a problem and has to close..." When I try to open Itunes this popup occurs.

    hi Sakmak!
    "Itunes has encounted a problem and has to close..."
    check to see if your Quicktime currently launches. if quicktime gives you an error message when you try to launch it, first try the following technique:
    iTunes 6 for Windows unexpectedly quits when opened
    ... but if no joy with that, let's try a careful standalone QT 7.0.3 reinstall. download and save a copy of the QT installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off all antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install:
    Quicktime 7.0.3 Standalone Installer
    if you get an error message on the standalone QT install, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.
    if after the standalone install itunes and/or QT still don't launch, BUT you no longer get any error messages associated with the failure to launch, post back to let us know the results of the following observations. (there are three main causes of "error-less" launch failures, and the observations will help with sorting out which treatments we try applying first.)
    reboot the PC. open Task Manager to the Processes Tab. now launch itunes again.
    does an itunes.exe process appear in Task Manager? if so, does it persist in there or does it disappear after a few seconds?
    keep us posted.

    Apple does not have a "trade in" program for iPods, other than the recycling program that gives you a 10% discount on a new iPod (at an Apple Retail Store).

  • Can't Install Flash on Mac

    Today Firefox prompted me to update my Flash Player when I logged onto my laptop. I've done this many times before so this shouldn't be a big deal right?
    Well I was able to download and start the installer but after about 11%  the installer fails and points to the Support website.
    I tried running the Flash Player uninstaller, rebooting, running new Flash Installer and it still fails everytime.
    I even tried downloading an archived version of Flash 10 to see if I could at least get some version of Flash installed, but that failed in the same manner.
    Has anyone else had this issue?
    Jenn
    Firefox 3.6.11
    Mac OS 10.6.4

    You've never heard of the installer asking for an admin password? You must not have a Mac then. Flash is not the only program that asks for one, and it's not the only program that's not going to get one from me.
    LZMA (not lsma) is a form of compression which the downloadable flash plugin uses. As previously noted, I haven't found anything yet that can uncompress the Flash Player.plugin.lzma file, which is why I can't install it.
    So what I want is a link to the bare Flash Player.plugin file. Not to a Flash Installer program, just Flash Player.plugin, the actual plugin that goes into my internet plugins folder. This is Adobe, Adobe makes it, so they should have it available somewhere. It's only 30 MB. Adobe is a big company now, they can afford the bandwidth.

  • The old permissions problem - Can't install Flash

    I know this is an old problem but I have tried every remedy in the book and some I never heard of.  I simply cannot get access to the old dll file.
    Vista tells me I don't even have permission to view the permissions of this object.  So, to put it simply I can't install Flash 10.1 and the old one has been uninstalled except for the troublesome dll file. 
    I have tried every method of either lowering the permission level or raising my authority without success. I have even tried some risky approaches.  Is there a way to force the installer to install the new version to a new location?
    TIA.
    [I have spent hours on this both yesterday and today.]
    Len

    Hi, Forgive me for omitting the essential info. I am running Vista Home
    Premium (32bit), My primary browser is Opera 10.61.   I also have a
    recent version of Chrome and IE 8 on my machine.
    The error message on installing Flash 10 is that it doesn't have
    sufficient permissions to write to
    Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\NSPWF.dll:5).
    Since my previous note,I have temporarily solved the problem by
    downloading the xpi version of Flash and putting the appropriate files
    in the Opera plugins directory. However that does not solve the problem
    for Crhome or IE8.
    The larger problem is that I have run the installer as administrator,
    logged on as administrator, tried changing the properties and owner of
    the dll file and the entire Macromed folder.  I even tried renaming the
    folder. Permission is always denied.  The most offending notice is one
    that tells me that I don't even have permission to see or edit the
    permissions of the dll.
    Note: I did check to make sure that no identifiable processes were
    running that would not let me access the dll.
    Thanks.

  • Can I install Flash CC 2014 with the $9.99 Photography Package?

    I just bought the $9.99 CC photography package for Photoshop because that's what I originally wanted. Now I see that Flash CC also has a button that says "Install" instead of test with the trial version of CC. Can I install Flash CC for no extra cost? $50/mo seems a bit too much to download more than one application, especially since I'm not using it for anything but my own enjoyment.
    Thanks

    NO. The photography bundle really only contains PS and LR. This may  simply be a glitch.

  • I can't install flash it says I'm vulnerable

    This morning I was told to up grade Firefox. I clicked the clickers and It seemed to work. Then I was told to adapt it to firefox. I got as far as the advice to click the end of the yellow bar. There is no yellow bar. Tonight I tried to figure it out. I found the Plug in Check window.- - At the top of the list of plugin the was the Flash "f", a red button, and a note saying "update now" I pressed the red button and the installation .began- - The little green dots ran by again -- No yellow bar.
    The flash player seems to work. I can play at least one game- I have looked in the various trouble shooting windiws
    == This morning

    Ignore the instructions about a yellow bar, they relate to old versions of Firefox.
    You can download the version of Flash Player used by Firefox from http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
    Run that file to install Flash.
    The download link came from the Adobe troubleshooting guide for installing Flash - http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html

  • Want my JFrame to be the *only* one that can end the program when closed

    Hi all,
    I have an application that is essentially a launcher for other applications -- it's a holder to allow us to demo our work and other Java examples (not necessarily our work). The launcher will either run methods to launch an application or will find a class's main method and invoke that.
    In all cases, the other applications open up their own JFrames, separate from my launcher (this is a good thing). The problem is that, in general, the other JFrames are set to EXIT_ON_CLOSE. This means that if the user closes the second window, everything will close.
    Is there anyway to prevent this from happening? I'd like either a way to say that my JFrame is the only one that can exit the program when closed, or to say globally that JFrames can't exit on close, and then re-work my initial frame so that it is still able to exit.
    Note that changing all the other applications so that they do not include the EXIT_ON_CLOSE line is not an option (several of the applications we have the right to use, but not the right to modify, for instance).
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Sam

    I have a similar launcher application and this is how I tackled the issue....
    Window[] windows = Window.getWindows();
    This seems like a great work-around. The only problem is that Window.getWindows() is only 6.0, and unfortunately I can only assume 5.0. I can't see another method in the Window class that will return unowned windows -- is there another method that you know of?
    Edit: I found I can use Frame.getFrames() instead, but unfortunately I've discovered this doesn't solve my problem. One of the applications is listening to window closing and is calling System.exit(0) itself, and is not using EXIT_ON_CLOSE as I previously thought. So I think that launching a new JVM may be the only option.... Any advice on how to do this? I'm a little stuck with the ProcessBuilder stuff above.

    edit In future (not this time), Swing related questions should be posted in the [Swing forum|http://forums.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=57]
    I guess I was thinking this as a process-oriented question (I had already been thinking of the "different JVM" tactic), but the other option was to think of it as a pure-swing problem, like your solution above. Guess I should have just cross-posted -- everyone loves that! ;-)

  • I can't install flash player on my mac 10.6.8

    I can't install flash player on my mac 10.6.8, it supposedly downloads but then I can't find it, when I search for flash player in downloads in the finder, I get three choices:
    1. Adobe flash player install manager:  when I click on this, the options are either to quit or uninstall.
    2. Flash Player:  when I click on this, it shows me Flash Player in the finder, when I click on that, it leads me to install it again.
    3. Install Adobe Flash Player: just taked me back to install it again.
    But it never seems to install or open.
    Any help would be great, thanks!!

  • I can't install Flash Player on Mac, because of Dashboard Client

    I can't install Flash Player on my Macbook Pro OS X Mountain Lion, because of error it keep showing me, that my Dashboard Client is running and i need to close it.

    Unfortunately, going through all the widgets, closing them, quitting the dashboard, installing Adobe whatever, then reinstalling all the widgets is a complete PITA.
    There is a widget called Dashquit 3.0 which is supposed to turn dashboard off. When I tried it with 10.9.3, It quit dashboard, but dashboard started back up immediately, preventing the Adobe install. I then looked at other answers which recommended turning the dashboard process off using Activity Monitor. Same results - using either Quit or Force Quit, dashboard stopped for a millisecond then restarted.
    The thing that finally worked for me after all of this was to restart the computer. I shut down Safari before restarting so that it would not appear immediately on restart. As soon as I was able to after the restart, I opened the Adobe .dmg file and started the install process. It finally installed without any further intervention.
    Adobe, it sure would be nice if your installer-writers were to ignore the Dashboard Client since it doesn't use Flash as far as I know, and it would be even more convenient if the installer shut down Safari or Chrome or Firefox or other browsers automatically with permission from the user. It sure would make things a lot easier. Other installers do this routinely, so why can't you?

  • Can't install flash player on Mac OSX version 10.4.11

    Hello
    I've spent the morning trying to do this and still no joy. I had flash player already and when trying to use the 4oD website it asked me to download or upgrade flashplayer. I did, the correct version according to my mac version. All goes well and the window message says 'installed successfully'.The only thing I find strange is that just before this message appears I hear the sound of items being put in the 'trash' ... and there they are. Other times the message error -1409 appears. The only icon that appears is the Flash player installer.pkg so not sure whether the application was installed or just the installer!  All web searches prompt me to download the missing plug in, both in safari and mozilla. Java script is definitely enabled on both browsers.
    I have use the uninstall package three times, restarted the computer, downloaded flash player again but no change.
    Forgive my limited use of jargon - this doesn't make any sense to me but I've just spent 3 hours following instructions to no avail.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Can't install Flash Player upgrade

    Can't install Flash Player upgrade on Windows 7 system. Get it downloaded and get message "an exception Runtime error has occured in script".  Message says "new instance of MS Script Editor".  Try to debug and get message "can not create application folder"
    What do I do?

    Hello,
    I've seen another report of the installer throwing a script error, however, I've been unable to reproduce.   Can you please do the following to provide a log file for further troubleshooting:
    Download the installer from get.adobe.com/flashplayer and save it to the desktop
    Launch the command prompt, click the Start orb and in the search field, type: cmd.exe
    When the command prompt utility launches, drag the installer from the desktop onto the command prompt window hit space key and type /debug
    It should look similar to (the actual file name may differ): C:\Users\labuser\Desktop\install_flashplayer14x32_mssd_aaa_aih.exe /debug
    Note there IS a space between the file name and the / and there is NO space between / and debug
    If there are spaces in the directory path, the command needs to be encapsulated in quotes, for example: "C:\Documents and Settings\labuser\Desktop\install_flashplayer14x32_mssd_aaa_aih.exe" /debug
    Click Enter to proceed
    A file named host.develop.log will be saved to the same location the installer was saved toYou may notice the the online installer file is missing. This is because it deletes itself once executed, so it will no longer be saved locally.
    Post the contents of the host.develop.log file here in your response, or share the file following the How to share a document instructions.
    Thank you in advance.
