I keep getting message "cannot contact reliable source" when trying to install Flash Player.

I turned off AVG anti-virus and uninstalled old Flash Player versions.  I keep getting message "cannot contact reliable source" when trying to install Flash Player.

I cant copy and paste the install file but it was not a or b above.  It was copied from the adobe website, downloaded  successfully, but will not install.  I get the download from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header

  • I get the message "sliprt.dll is missing" when trying to install Flash Player

    I have Windows 7 64 bit, and get the same message in Internet Explorer 10, Firefox and Chrome. I have tried all the actions that Adobe has on its site (including uninstall and removing all the files) without success. What should I do?????

  • Does anyone know why I am getting a request to close qbw32 when trying to install flash player?

    I am trying to download adobe flash player.  It was half way through the install when it asked me to close the qbw32 program.  I am assuming that is my quickbooks 2013 program....which is not open.  It won't let me progress any further.  Any ideas?

  • I keep getting time out error messages when trying to install flash player

    I've put a new install of Win 7 64 bit pro onto a new hdd.  All other s/w has worked fine and not given me any issues except for adobe flash player.  If I just install FP 11 it installs ok.  Issue happens when I try to install the "other" version for Steam.  The install screen stops at 11%, shoots up to 47%, then I get a timeout error message.  If I uninstall and install the Steam version 1st it works then the regular version gets the same timeout error.  I have folllowed all advice from previous threads on this topic such as disabling firewall (I use Panda), a clean adobe install using the flash player uninstall program and removing reader as well then going through the registry and removing all mention of adobe, etc, etc.
    I found a partial way around this.  I installed the Steam version of flash player, then found a website that I could download flash player 10 executable from.  I was able to run that and get both versions of flash player going on my system.  Then the flash player went and found the update to version 11.  I've just tried to install that and I end up with the exact same error messages all over again.
    Is there website that I can download the executable file for flash player 11 from or a link to it on the adobe website?

    I am not sure what you mean by "Flash Player for steam"; the only Flash Player installers I know is the ActiveX (for Internet Explorer) and the plugin (for other browsers); you can find both at http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header

    What are you trying to download when you get that message and where is the download coming from?
    Are you involved with a download of the Premiere Elements 13 tryout from the Adobe web site?
    or
    Have you purchased Premiere Elements 13 and are trying to download the purchased installation files from Adobe?
    or
    Other?

  • Error message when trying to install flash player on my mac

    this is the message i receive.
    Adobe Reader could not open 'AdobeFlashPlayerInstaller_17_ltrosxd_aaa_aih.dmg-2.mdlp' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).

    when i click in the download area on my mac in safari, i double click the downloaded flash, when i do this i receive the previous message, i'm not trying to open it with reader, i am just not sure how to avoid it.

  • During Adobe Flash 11 install, I received the error "cannot contact reliable source." Help?!

    While streaming videos on YouTube and Hulu, I noticed a signifant amount of lag and buffering.  In the past I've resolved this issues by updating my Flash player (even though I typically am on the newest version).  Today I tried to install a Adobe Flash 11 and I received the error, "Cannot contact reliable source" amongst a few other errors (I cannot recall what they said).  I went to the troubleshooting section, uninstalled my current Adobe Flash, and tried to download version 11.  I keep getting the aforementioned errror.  Now rather than a lag time and buffer issue, I cannot watch any videos at all since my Flash player was uninstalled and I cannot download the new version.  I'm currently on a relatively new iMac with OS X version 10.8.4.  I don't think there is problem with my actual computer.  Can anyone help?
    PS: I have an unhealthy affinity for catching up on terrible TV shows on Sundays so I'm saddened by my inability to watch Hulu Plus. 

    Try this installer: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac/install_flash_playe r_11_osx.dmg

  • Error: cannot contact reliable source

    Assuming you have Windows 7:
    Download these two files:
    http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash _player_64bit.exe
    Flash Player for Internet Explorer
    Close I.E.9.

    Reboot.
    Run install_flash_player_11_active_x_64bit.exe

  • Cannot contact Reliable Source IE9 Norton

    Every security setting is turned to its lowest setting on IE9.  Every single Norton setting is turned off, every one.  No file scanning is taking place.
    Nevertheless, the scroll bar goes to 12%, sits there, looks stupid, and then the message appears "Cannot contact reliable source".
    I set Norton to recognize the file as a trusted file.  No difference.
    Is Adobe deciding to make these downloads impossibly difficult as a business strategy?  Never in my decades of using computers (I've been doing so since 1972) have I encountered such a ridiculous procedure.
    And I'm supposed to pay $39 for stupidty?  Why, as far as I'm concerned, Adobe should be fined for the idiocy it is doing to its customers.  Even having to close the browser at the right time (I never get that far) is the dumbest procedure I've ever seen.  Or is this part of a strategy to sell Macs?

    I got flash to install by saving the file then right clicking on the file then choose run as administrator.
    I do not have antivirus installed yet so the problem is not from that.
    Possibly this problem is coming from:
    IE is not your default browser. ??
    Hope this helps.

  • Flash Player will not download past 47% - "cannot contact reliable source" error everytime

    So just as the title states - I uninstalled Flash on my computer because it was giving me trouble. Now, everytime I try to redownload Flash for Firefox - it will not go past 47% download and the "Cannot contact reliable source" error comes up every single time. I'm on Windows 7 64 bit and I have Charter Security Suite for Antivirus if that helps.
    Never had this problem before when I downloaded Flash and now this is just plain stupid.

    That's a two way street. My brother used TrendMicro for about four years before he got rid of it. TrendMicro's stance was "We build our product and update it. The rest of the world can keep up with what we do." When he was no longer able to update QuickBooks because of TrendMicro, he uninstalled it. They told him it was Intuit's responsibility to update their (TrendMicro's) IP database. That kind of arrogance is why Apple has surpassed Microsoft in recent years as the #1 tech company in the world. People won't keep using something that continually doesn't work, like Windows Vista and now 8 - Okay, 8 is more compatible than Vista was but it's far less user friendly UNLESS you're on a touch screen tablet, which means they NEVER should have developed it for desktop and laptop use.
    I worked for Intuit from 2003 to 2006 and dev people in Mountian View ran me through the update process for their websites. There are protocols that remain constant that should NOT blacklist a new update from a trusted primary, secondary and tertiary domain that's properly written. It's what prevents hack sites (like... just an example: "xxx.porn.adobe.com") from getting onto a whitelist. Any GOOD antivirus company will have databases that maintain that primary ptrotocol. If they don't they're doing things bassackwards.
    I spent six years testing all kinds of software for compatibility, including several antivirus apps (but not F-secure). After all that, I made a rule for myself:
    ANY software that interferes with other software, especially software that I use frequently, is gone. If there's a more compatible replacement, I'll use it instead... if not, I'll learn to get by without it.
    I do graphic  and web design by trade, and anything that hinders productivity is a liability. Be it photoshop plugins that crash the app, A/V that screws with FTP, or whatever.
