"the application install adobe flash player quit unexpectedly"

when trying to install flash player update on my mac running osx 10.5.8 i get error message "the application install adobe flash player quit unexpectedly"  is my mac sabotaging the install or what? is there a setting i need to change in order for my mac to play along?

Which installer are you using?  Can you try rebooting your system and try uninstalling and installing using the steps below:
1. Close all browsers
2. Run the Flash Player uninstaller
3. Run the Flash Player installer
Thanks,

  • Getting "the application install adobe flash player quit unexpectedly' error message when trying to

    When trying to install flash player update on my mac running osx 10.5.8.   I get error message "the application install adobe flash player quit unexpectedly"  I've tried uninstalling the application and restarting my computer. But when I click the install icon  it quits unexceptionally every time.
    Please help!

    Hello,
    Flash Player is no longer supported on OS X 10.5.8.  The last version to support OS X 10.5.8 is Flash Player 10.3.  Flash Player 10.3 is available for download from this page: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html.

  • Install Adobe Flash Player quits unexpectedly

    I am trying to install Adobe Flash Player v. 17 on my  mid 2011 iMac with 3.4 GHz Core i7 running 10.10.2.  Every time I double click on the Install Adobe Flash Player.app, I get a crash notification saying that Install Adobe Flash Player quit unexpectedly.  I have downloaded the file several times with the same result. I close Safari and turn off my virus protection software while trying to run the install.

    Same question, same answer: use the offline installer http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg

  • Install Adobe Flash Player quit unexpectedly

    OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.2 I can not update Flash.  After downloading the install package I immediately receive the Above message.  I have scoured the internet forums looking for a solution and nothing has worked including uninstalling Flash and performing a clean install.  I've done multiple restarts and nothing has worked.  Please advise.

  • I have a mac computer.  I am trying to install flash player but get the message "install adobe flash player wants to make changes.  Type your password to allow this." I do not use a password to open the computer.

    I have a mac computer that uses no password.  When installing flash player I get the message "Install adobe flash player wants to make changes  Type your password to allow this.  I can't get past this message.

    Hi,
    To change your password you will need to open System Preferences, then open Users & Groups, click on Change Password.  Change your password to a temporary one, then when you have finished you do the same procedure to change it back, by typing in the temp password then leaving the new password blank.  Hope this helps.

  • Installing snow leopard, got "The application Install Mac OS X quit unexpectedly"

    Installing show leopard from the install disk on white MacBook (2,0 GHz), got "The application Install Mac OS X quit unexpectedly".  What's wrong?

    Haven't a clue, but the machine didn't like something. Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try reinstalling again.

  • Problems installing Adobe Flash Player 14.0.0.125.

    Can not get my MacBook Pro 17" to install Adobe Flash Player 14.0.0.125.  Our iMac installed it.
    The system hangs forever looking for resources

    Hopefully, you'll be installing the 14.0.0.145 Flash update very soon - however the same problem you experienced persists with that.
    Fortunately there is a simple solution.
    There appears to be a problem with Adobe Flash Player Install Manager - the simple answer is to let the system install the flash update instead:
    When you use the Flash updater, it downloads a disk image to a temp folder (inside /private/var/folders but you don't need to know that). This is automatically mounted (briefly) while the app 'Adobe Flash Player Install Manager' launches. Adobe Flash Player Install Manager is supposed to manage the whole instillation but in some case it gets stuck. If this process fails for you (such as hanging on 95% completion), there is a very simple route forward which doesn't require you to open your browser or manually download anything.
    It only requires 3 steps and you can be 100% sure you are getting the correct update - the one Adobe tried to install but failed. I've broken these down into detailed but very simple substeps (further down this post) for anybody who is unsure, but experienced users can probably just follow these three steps:
    Force quit Adobe Flash Player Install Manager
    Locate and mount the Flash Player Installer disk image with Disk Utility
    Locate the Adobe Flash Player installer package within the Install Manager app and run the installation from Finder
    Hope this helps. Enjoy.
    Those steps in detail (as carried out in OSX 10.6.8).
    1. Force quit Adobe Flash Player Install Manager
    Press these three keys together: Cmd + Option (or Alt) + esc
    Select Adobe Flash Player Install Manager in the popup window titled "Force Quit Applications"
    Hit return or click the button labelled "Force Quit"
    2. Locate and mount the Flash Player Installer disk image with Disk Utility
    Open Disk Utility (in Applications/Utilities folder or find it with Spotlight)
    On the left hand side, your attached drives and mounted volumes are listed above a horizontal line. Below that line you should see one or more disk images (named e.g. something.dmg). These are recently accessed disk images - including one containing the adobe updater.
    At or near the bottom of that list you should see something called decryptedFile.dmg
    Under that you might see a (greyed out) volume image called Flash Player
    Double click decryptedFile.dmg (or the Flash Player volume if you can see it - it makes no difference).
    This should mount a volume titled "Flash Player" and automatically open a finder window showing the contents.
    The volume "Flash Player" will show up in your Finder sidebar and on your desktop (unless you've chosen not to show External Disks in Finder preferences)
    3. Locate the Adobe Flash Player installer package and run the installation from Finder
    You should by now have a Finder window open showing the contents of the volume "Flash Player". If not, open a new Finder window and click on Flash Player in the sidebar. The sole contents are an app called Install Adobe Flash Player.
    Right click the item "Install Adobe Flash Player" and select "Show Package Contents" from the contextual menu that appears.
    This opens a new window showing a folder called "Contents". Open it by double clicking to reveal the contents including a folder called "Resources".
    Locate and open the folder "Resources" and look for a file called Adobe Flash Player (Adobe Flash Player.pkg)
    This is the Installer Package for the update. Double Click it.
    Don't be put off by the words "Welcome to the Adobe Flash Player Installer" - this is not the Adobe Flash Install Manager (the one that failed you earlier) this is Apple's "Installer" app.
    Follow the steps to the end then eject the volume Flash Player in the normal way (e.g. Finder sidebar)
    Open the Flash Player control panel to check the current version has now been updated.
    Don't be put off by "PPAPI Plug-in is not installed" - you can ignore it.
    Some steps may go differently if you are running a different version of Mac OS X  - I use 10.6.8

  • Workaround found: Install Adobe Flash Player.app seems to be damaged

    Like many other Mac users, today I tried to update to the latest version of the Adobe Flash Player. The downloaded Install Adobe Flash Player.app (v3.3.9.0) seems to be damaged. It seems to have been inappropriately altered so its code-signing no longer works with the Mac OS X Gatekeeper. Even worse, switching the Gatekeeper off won't give any better chance to run the Installer.
    This is what the Console tells:
    05.02.14 14:29:08,565 coreservicesd[65]: Application App:"Install Adobe Flash Player" [ 0x0/0x7b07b]  @ 0x0x7f93206ca360 tried to be brought forward, but isn't in fPermittedFrontASNs ( ( ASN:0x0-0x7d07d:) ), so denying.

    Google pointed me beside others to this page which informs that users won't have a real chance to fix it:
    http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/62707/how-to-get-installers-not-to-hang-on-waitin g-for-other-installations-to-complet
    It seems as if this isn't new to Adobe:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1151807
    Counting this and the big bunch of error reports in this forum, I guess you Flash developer guys here at Adobe should check and fix the Installer soon.
    Thank you in advance.
    Edit:
    Here is a workaround that worked for me: Download the Flash Player archive 12.0.0.44 from this Archive page:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html#Flash%20Player% 20archives
    When it is unzipped, you will find a folder named fp_12.0.0.44_archive in your Downloads folder. Open its subfolder 12_0_r0_44, and run the flashplayer_12_0r0_44_mac.dmg.

    I have upgraded to Yosemite but had this problem prior to that.  What I did find that work was to use the Disk Utility.app to recreate the dmg file.
    Try this:
    Right click on the dmg in Finder.
    Choose: Open With->Disk Utility.app
    Once open:
    Select the dmg image at the bottom left in the list view.
    Choose First Aid tab
    Choose Verify
    Choose Repair
    On the Top Toolbar choose Convert
    Use standard selections and place the new image on the Desktop
    Dbl click on new DMG image file and it should work.

  • "Install Adobe Flash Player" is damaged and can't be opened

    The subject line of this discussion is what is displayed when I go to try to install Adobe Flash. I have a Mac OS X 10.9.3. I had Flash downloaded for a while, but the last update wouldn't update. It would download, but then when I went to open it it would say "Retrieving Install" and the meter would remain at 0%. It never went a step beyond that. After trying many times, per the instructions of the website, I deleted Flash from my computer using the Adobe uninstaller downloaded from this site. Now that I am trying to reinstall Flash I keep getting the message "'Install Adobe Flash Player' is damaged and can't be opened. You should eject the disk image". What should I do from here? I would appreciate any help!

    You should make sure you do a complete uninstall of the flash player first and then install the latest FP14 version from this link - Use http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player_osx.dm g
    In order to do a complete uninstall - Uninstall Flash Player | Mac OS

    That's a good question. I may have installed FP 10.1 Beta in many of the attempts to resolve the issue. I've scanned my registry for any reference to Flash and removed anything that remotely resembles Flash Player (of course backing up Registry first). I've run uninstall_flash_player.exe, which doesn't appear to do anything. I've checked logs and there's no reference to Flash Player being installed.
    When I go to the link provided ( http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/) I get the messageThe version of Adobe® Flash® Player ActiveX that you are trying to install is not the most current version.
