ActiveX failed to register during install

Great. Running Flashplayer for years. Go to update to v14.0 and now I have none! Same error during install, "ActiveX failed to register." Tried everything. Deleted all. Turned off ActiveX filter. Run as Admin. Nothing works. Google the issue and find a dozen different ideas but none work. How can such a critical component like Flashplayer not download properly? Very disconcerting and disappointing.
Windows Vista Home Basic, IE9.

Hello Pat:
1. I used the Flash Uninstaller, rebooted, then tried to download again. Same issue. I then tried a routine called fix.cmd
cd /d "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Resource Kits\Tools" subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /setowner=administrators /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
which also didn't help. I downloaded flashplayer_14_ax_debug.exe to desktop and ran as Admin, no help.
So now I ran your link, and it said it was successful. But when I went to the Test page, it said I didn't have Flash. So I rebooted and ran the v14. install again, same issue.
Active X failed to register.
What else can we do?
ps I just updated Shockwave without a problem.

I receive the message "Error: Failed to register" at the end of attempting to reinstall Adobe Flash Player 11.5.502.135 (after a complete uninstall of all Adobe programs) on my older machine running Windows XP and the older browser IE 7. I have tried the offline download installer and my Google Chrome browser setting is "allow all sites to run Java". I allowed the program to run from my AVG firewall dialog box. Windows firewall did not ask. I am logged in as administrator. What should I do because some programs prompt me for this install in order for some functions to work correctly.

Apple mobile device failed to start during installing itunes

I got an error message while trying to install iTunes says that apple mobile device failed to start. i ignored this message and continued the installation process but it gave me another error and iTunes didn't work. i uninstalled it many times and tried many of the solutions on the support communities but it didn't repair it and i still have the same problem and now I can't use iTunes at all from the time i tried to upgrade to latest version.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies. The notes below the box include tips on removing troublesome components.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
The "for older video cards" version may well work for you when the regular 64-bit installer does not.

"iPod service failed to start" during install

Trying to update iTunes to the latest version however, I get the message "Service, 'iPod service' (iPod Service) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privleges to start system services"
I'm using the administrator account. I can (sometimes) see the ipod service when i run services.msc from the run dialog box however i am unable to start it from there either as it says there's something missing. I've tried following the complete uninstall of iTunes and quicktime instructions on the apple support pages to no avail.
Whilst the installer wont finish, i can still run the new version of iTunes by opening it form the 'program files\itunes' folder but if i try to close the install box, iTunes gets uninstalled again.
I do vaguely remember disabling / doing something to the ipod service at one point for reasons i don't remember. I realise this is most likely the cause but how to solve it... i'm drawing blanks.
Bring me back my iTunes... Please.

Trying to update iTunes to the latest version however, I get the message "Service, 'iPod service' (iPod Service) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privleges to start system services"
that can happen sometimes if the itunes installer is having a hard time shutting down either itunes or quicktime (or applications using quicktime) prior to the install. so let's try a "download, restart, then install strategy."
leave your ipod unplugged.
download and save a copy of the itunes installer to your hard drive. (do not run the install on line, and do not start the install by clicking on the iTunesSetup.exe (installer) file just yet.)
iTunes 7.0.2.16 Installer
shut down running applications and restart the PC.
do not open any other applications prior to attempting the iTunes install. switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
now start the install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe file.
does the install go through properly this time?

OPMN Fails to start during install

Hello,
I am trying to install Discoverer 10.1.2.3 in order to convert it to use R12. I have installed it many times for 11.5.10.2 without a problem. However this time, I get to the end and get a message:
OPMN has faiiled to start.
I let the install finish cause there is no other option to cancel at that time. I go to check the logs dir but there are no logs?
One thing I would like to know. We are using a 64bit server now for our APP tier in our TEST R12 environment.
Is the problem that Discoverer is 32 bit and I am trying to install into a 64Bit machine?
Other than that, is there something else I can look at or try?
Thanks.

Thanks Paul, really appreciate the update. Spent this morning rebuilding our environment with 64-bit (Win 2008) and starting from scratch. The install has now succeeded. I tell you one thing you pointed out is something we noticed when we proceeded with the second install. That was the WebLogic version. I had initially used .4 and on the second install we used .3. I am guessing that this may have been the issue.
I will verify with our Oracle resources and I hope this post will assist other when doing the 64-bit install as I think it is very vague in the documentation.
I will update the post with Oracles response as well.
Just as an FYI... the reason this issue came up in the first place was we did an Enteprise Install on 64-bit and found that the Gauge Charts weren't working in the SampleAppLite Subject Area. So I will add that to the Tags for this post.
Hope this post helps others and they don't go through the headaches of a wrong install type.

Importent6.dll fails to register on WTS (Citrix & Windows 2003 64bit)

Hi,
I am trying to install the BOE XI 3.1 client tools on a 64bit Windows 2003 R2 SP2 machine (used as Windows Terminal Server) and I get the message that importent6.dll and exportSDK.dll fail to register during the installation.
Did anyone of you out there had a similar problem so far? Due to the error I cannot get the import wizard installed.
Additionally it would be interesting to know if it is possible to use the import wizard XI 3.1 as a terminal server application in a WTS (64bit) environment.
Regards,
Stratos

Hi,
with regards to the "(x86)" folder i would not recommend installing the BOE Client Tools into that folder. Please create a own Folder (you can for sure do this on drive D:) and install it into the folder. You could create a "Program Files" folder instead of installing it into the "Program Files (x86)" Folder.
About the Errormessage of your .dll`s please check SAP Note - 1205687

WRT160N error during install

I just purchased WRT160N and during the install of LELA there is an error. " Linksys Updater failed to start- verify you have sufficient privileges to start system services" pops up during install. Then it asks to retry and it hasn't worked or close window. Then when says this "Setup for Linksys Advisor has failed "Fatal Error During Install" please check your settings and try again.
Help! I am not computer savy, and don't want to start changing anything and screw it up.
Internet is working on the installed computer (I believe this is called the gateway? not wireless uses the ethernet cable)but I can't setup my wife's new laptop til this is fixed.
BTW this is a cable modem hook up if that makes a difference. I have tried restarting, turning power off as well but still get the same problem every time.
Thanks,
Don

As you have mentioned that your Hardwired computer is able to go online throught the router, and now you are trying to setup your wireless computer. You dont have to run the setup disk on your computer, you can configure all the settings on your Router manually and then make your Wife's computer go online wirelessly..
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WEP, Encryption should be 64 bit.Leave the passphrase blank, don't type in anything...Under WEP Key 1 type in any 10 numbers please(numbers only and no letters eg: your 10 digit phone number) and click on save settings...
Please make a note of WEP Key 1 as this is the Security Key for the Wireless Network...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

Flash player installs, Removed Chrome, Failed to register.

I have a couple of machines that will download the flash player update, says it installed, then I go to another web site and it tells me to install again.
So I have uninstalled and re installed the latest flash player. Then somewhere on these forums, I found that Google Chrome was causing the issues. I uninstall Google Chrome and now
it says that it "Failed to Register" when installing.
I have tried the solution here. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/885448 Did not work. I tried http://forums.adobe.com/thread/461168 Did not work (That works great for xp.)
Win 7 64
Internet Explorer 9
Flash Player 11.x
Also I get the same problems in Vista.
It works in Chrome, But that is not the point. The user wants IE9 to work.

Hi,
For resolving these issues please do the following
Open the below link and download the Adobe flash player uninstaller.

Please make sure you the Administrator of the System. Run this uninstaller and restart your system, install latest version of Adobe flash player from www.adobe.com.

Why did you ignore my post about Flash Player failing to register its ActiveX Control?

Three days ago I submitted a precisely-worded description of a persistent installation problem: Every time I attempt to download and install Flash Player V. 16 on my laptop running Windows Vista 64 bit and IE 9, the download completes successfully, but at the end of installation, a dialog box gives this message
"ActiveX Control failed to register."
I presume that your installation software was unable to write something into the Windows Registry. Other software has no trouble writing to my Windows Registry. My anti-virus software is not blocking the Registry.
I expressly asked for an Adobe staff member to guide me on how to debug this failed installation.
All I got was zilch. Your forum software assured me that my request was posted, but I have not seen it on the list of recent posts. You made it disappear and did not respond to it. Your company does not provide any other avenue for a distraught user to obtain technical support. Your dismissive attitude toward your customers and user community is even more distressing than your bloated, malfunctioning software products.
Without Flash Player installed, my computer has been dead in the water for ten days. I can't do my work. If I am forced to write my own Flash emulator just to get my work done, then I won't need Adobe anymore.

Hi Pramananda,
You're previous post wasn't ignored. Assisting users on forums is not staffs primary responsibility and we try to assist users as our time allows, in between our responsibilities. Creating multiple posts for the same issue also doesn't help as it simply forks the problem and results in responses to both, causing confusion.
Failure to register errors are normally caused by registry permissions issues, not user permissions issues. Please review the Flash Player | Windows registry permissions tech note as it addresses this issue.
Maria
P.S. I locked your other thread so that responses will only be posted to one location, eliminating forked responses and confusion.

Installation issue with flash player - failed to register activex

I am trying to install Flash Player 10 on a computer running Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 32 bit. Browser is Internet Explorer 7. Every time I install, either thru the webpage or thru the exe installer, I get an error that the installer failed to register activex. I tried the steps in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/461168, to no avail. I also tried running the Flash Player uninstaller. I am logged in as administrator and have made sure to give the command change user /install. I was able to install with no issues on another server with the same versions of Windows and IE. This system also has Adobe AIR and Reader 9.4 installed. I also uninstalled Shockwave Player 11 and that didn't help.

Yes, I have. I went thru the steps more than once in case.
