Flash Player Install Manager[681:16322] Install failed with error code: 30

Question

OS 10.10, MBP 2011 i7, latest updates. I ran the installer by opening up the app package and invoking the install via terminal. at the 75% mark ( download finishes ) the installer fails. in the terminal I got this maybe helpful error message. any idea on getting flash to install ? its worse because I've run the uninstaller so parts of various websites don't work now

Answer 1

ok, its a permissions error because the installer isn't at the right run level, even asking for my admin password. if I do
sudo Install Adobe Flash Player.app
[enter password]
Installer now runs. it generates a bunch of error messages in the terminal

the install actually finishes though  and flash is working… YAH ! but only a semi uber geek would ever figure this out or think to try it. please fix the installer as its got a problem under 10.10
