Flash Player 11.8 Will Not Install

When trying to install the Adobe Flash Player 11.8 with the MSI I get a 1722 error, then I try installing it with the .exe and it will install but errors out during registering the ActiveX controls. I removed the Reg keys noted in the Adobe forum, but I still have the same issue. The problem is that it installs on some computers and not others. It doesn't matter whether it is a workstation or a laptop, XP or 7, 32 or 64, or the version of IE we are running.

It seems to be centered around McAfee not Adobe. The McAfee agent installed on the workstations is stopping the activex from being registered. I removed it and it installed perfectly from the MSI and the .exe

Flash Player 10.2 will not install - not same problem as Audrey below.

Hi,
Using Win 7 home deluxe, was using Flash player no problem until the office had me uninstall it to fix another problem but now will not reinstall, keeps insisting on installing Mc Afee alongside it and then Mc Afee won't install correctly and won't allow Flash Player to install either.
Have repeatedly uninstalled the full Adobe free software suite, and Mc Afee and started from the beginning have tried using the 32 bit IE instead of thr 64 bit, when the window comes up showing the registration it only shows the Quit button will not let me use the Agree or Install button and again and again it keeps installing Mc Afee without being asked, I don't use or need Mc Afee as have Nortons. I have also been turning off the norton antivrus while doing the installation as i know that can interfere with it.
been trying this on and off for some days now, multiple times, and I do need to get this fixed I would appreciate some advice thanks

Yes Friend and I posted a message of thanks also which I'm very pleased to send to you personally, the missing link was that little check box you mentioned, I had done the install or tried to many times but never seen that small box so that was the problem.
Very grateful - thanks very much for your time and patience !!
Best Regards
Tim

Flash Player and Shockwave will not install

All Adobe download pages seem dead. I click on the 'install' tabs and nothing happens.
I've disabled my firewall and it's still the same.
Uninstall tabs work but not install tabs.
Any idea what's happening?

You will need to furnish your Operating System, 32bit or 64bit. Browser(s) used and versions.

Ziatron is correct that Flash does not work on an iPad, but it does work on a Mac. See Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.160.

Where are you trying to get Flash Player from? Downloading is different from installing but many malicious websites offer to supply Flash Player as a means of installing malicious software and gathering personal information (e.g., passwords). You should get Adobe Flash only from Adobe and this link lets you download the full installer (Mac OS X (Intel) DMG) and run it locally. At that point OS X will ask for your password and if you've been using it successfully for other purposes (e.g., changing some items in System Preferences), it should work there too. Note that once Flash Player is installed, a Preference panel is installed too, and in it you can authorize Adobe to update Flash automatically.

Flash Player 10.1 is not installed even though message says it was successful.

Hello,
I use W7 Ultimate, 64 bit, and IE 8. Whenever I try to watch video a message says I need to upgrade Flash Player and gives me a link to version 10.l
I uninstalled version 10.0.32.18, then downloaded and installed version 10.l. A message says the installation was successful. However, I still get the same message and link whenever I try to watch video. I tried repeatedly with the same results. Each time Update Checker identifies the installed version as 10.0.32.18 even though an Adobe message says the installation of v.10.1 was successful.
Can anyone help?

Hi,
I got rid of Update Notifier, and I use Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro but am not a developer.
I honestly thought I was following all your instructions to the letter. I skipped some steps in my last post, but here is everything I really did.
I used the Administrator account, closed all applications, set the Internet security to Medium, put *.adobe.com in Trusted sites and set Internet security to low for it, removed real time protection for my antivirus, used Advanced Settings to disable the firewall, downloaded the Flash Player installer and uninstaller to the Desktop, disconnected the Internet, and closed all browsers.
The uninstaller was then run. Then the installer was run. The computer was booted . It was then rebooted. The insaller was run again. The computer was rebooted. The Internet was connected.
Please look over each step and if I'm skipping something I'll add it before trying again.

Hi gb, I think that you are relying on this Update checker too much. Early on, you confirmed what Flash files were installed. What the Update Checker reports is not correct, sorry. The proof in the pudding is what Flash Player files are Installed.
In Post#2, you had the correct Flash files Installed, regardless of what the Update Checker said. I can't use the Update Checker as the Standard on whether you have Flash Player Installed or not and you shouldn't either. This is getting too confusing.
The only issue you had was the Shockwave Flash Object did not Install and I posted the reasons in Post#6.
There is a procedure to Uninstall Flash Player and to Install Flash Player and it appears that you are relying on other programs to dictate.
Also I have never heard of anyone using the Adobe Update Manager for Flash Player. Perhaps you should read up on it and see if you really need it.
Are you a Developer? My suggestion would be to take a look in Programs and Features via Control Panel and see if all of the Adobe Programs you have Installed are needed. Then check your IE add ons for the same.
My Post# 6 still stands. Until that is corrected, there is nothing more that can be done. That Update Checker, does is have a website? If it is identifying those 2 files as Flash Player files, then I know I wouldn't be using it and you shouldn't either.

What do I do when I install Flash Player and it's not installed?

All of a sudden my laptop didn't have adobe, so I went to install it again. I am Stuck in a loop though. I go to the support page. It says to check if I have Flash Player and I do not, so I go the next step of installing it. I go through the whole installation and it says finish and takes me to the step three page (the website). I wanted to see if it worked, so I clicked to return to previous page. I clicked on the button to check if I had Flash Player and it says no again. I really want to watch Hulu. Can anyone help me out? I've had adobe for years and this just newly happened. Quite frustrating.

What OS?
What browser?
Without this basic information, we're completely in the dark.

Adobe flash player download page will not load up

firefox will not load up adobe flash player download page.
Will load the site, but not the download links.
This was a previous problem in firefox 4 so I had to fall back to 3.6,
that eventually got fixed so I came back to 4, updated with version 5.... and here it is again, same problem.
Any fixes or recommendations would be helpful.

I suddenly cannot startup Captivate 4 for reason Flash Player for Internet Explorer not installed or older version, but I have verified that Flash Player 16,0,0,235 is installed. Please help.

Hi,
I haven't used my Adobe Captivate 4 for a bit, but when I try to start it up, I get the following message:
"The Flash Player for Microsoft Internet Explorer, is not installed or its an older version.
You will automatically be redirected to the Adobe website to download the latest Flash Player.
Please note that the Adobe Captivate cannot be used until the Flash Player is installed."
Even if I click the OK button and reinstall the Flash Player, I still get the same message, when I try to startup Captivate.
I have verified that I'm running Flash player 16,0,0,235, which is supposed to be the latest version.
I'm running Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 11.
Please help.

The problem is that your version of Captivate 4 needs to be updated with a patch that Adobe used to supply. (I don't have a link anymore to it.)
Captivate 4 was unable to recognise Flash Player versions beyond a certain number. It gives you a misleading error message that makes it look like you have the wrong version of Flash Player. But the real problem is that Captivate needs to be patched to recognise the latest FP versions.
I'm hoping that someone from the Adobe Captivate team will chime in here and give us another link to download the patch. Otherwise, you really might be forced to upgrade to a newer version of Cp. However, if your current projects are being built in Cp4, your next issue will be that if you purchase Cp8 it will NOT be able to upgrade your Cp4 projects. You'd need to download a trial version of Cp5 or 5.5, and do a two-step upgrade.

The flash player installation program will not complete because it thinks Internet Explorer is open.

In trying to install Flash Player, the installation won't complete and I receive an error message saying Internet Explorer needs to be closed. I do not have any instances of IE open. How can I get the program to complete the installation?

FLASH PLAYER INSTALLS BUT WILL NOT RUN

I have installed Flash Player multiple times. The installation indicates it was successful, the Control Panel and list of programs installed indicate that the program is present but when I run a web site that requires it, I get a message that I need to install it. The Adobe Flash Player Help does not indicate that it is installed.
Running Windows 7 Home Premium , 32 bit; service pack 1; IE 9.0.8112 The computer is a Dell Laptop with Intel (R) core(TM)2 Duo CPU T5800 @ 2.0 GHz 2.00 GHz with 3.00GB RAM. Tech specs say 2.33 GHz is required. Is this the problem? Are there earlier versions of Flash Point that will work?

I went to the discussion you referenced and did the following ;
Under Internet Options, I disabled Protective Mode and restarted the computer. Flash Player did not work. I then removed Flash Player using Windows uninstall via the Control Panel. I reloaded Flash Player with Protective mode still off. After Flash Player successfully loaded, I turned Protective mode back on ( I didn’t want to run in unprotected mode) I restarted the computer and Flash Player worked and has been ever since. Thank you.

I have downloaded flash player many time will not complete download.

I have tried to download many, many, times to download the latest version of your flash player!!! I have called geek squad to help me fix the problem. It still has not been resolved. I have visited you trouble shooting sites and followed all steps explained and still will not complete download. I have deleted all flash on my computer and tried to down load and it starts to go through the steps and completes the download but does not complete instillation. When I try to play a game it tells me that I have to download the new version. I am getting very frustrated!!!! When I look in my programs the icon is not complete, and when I uninstall the program it says that there was an error in the installation and download not complete. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

My problem is a little different.
Yesterday, I received a notice to download an update to flash player. I did so, but it was just as Microsoft Word started up. The installation took forever and eventually I received a message to the effect the installation was incomplete.
I also discovered a new user account had been created on my computer. Its name is 'bimvhcba'. Inside the account is a Windows-free zone -- basically a black screen. I deleted the account through control panel and rebooted. I do not seem to be able to rid my computer of this account.
My computer is a laptop running Windows Vista with Chrome as the default browser. Through this site, I checked to see what version of Flash Player was running on my computer. It is the most recent one.
I have run comprehensive virusscans and spyware scans. No malware turns up.
I'm baffled. Any suggestions you have would be welcome.
