Adobe Flash installation launcher never pops up

i somehow uninstalled the Adobe Flash. After downloading the adobe flash player launcher from the official website and opening it no installation guide pops up, but Task Manager shows its running, I am using Win 8.1 64-bit & Firefox as my default browser... No plugin also displays in the plugin finder of the browser..... I have tried a lot and read solutions but nothing was fruitful... So please help

Hello,
If flash is not working and you are not sure what happened to it, try using the uninstaller from here to remove the files if you can before reinstalling:
* Windows: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
You can double check to see if it is still installed on your computer by looking at your list of installed programs (Control Panel > Programs and Features).
Install the latest version here: https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Note that the link usually has an "Optional offer" for the McAfee toolbar in the middle pane - you can uncheck that box as it is not needed to use Flash.

    There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash:
    *an '''ActiveX version''' for IE only
    *a '''Plugin version''' for most other browsers including Firefox
    *On a Windows system, you should always update both individually.
    '''''You do not appear to have the Plugin version for Firefox installed. ''''' If you did, in Add-ons > Plugins you would see "Shockwave Flash ''(version)''". If "Shockwave Flash" is there and is disabled, click the "Enable" button.
    Check your Plugins often --> http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
    *only the most popular/used Plugins are known by this page
    *page will detect only installed, '''''enabled''''' Plugins
    '''<u>Install or update Adobe Flash</u>'''<br />
    #'''<u>Using Firefox</u>''', go to the following link and SAVE the download to your desktop so you can find it later. Un-check any items on that page that you do not want to download (i.e., "McAfee Security Scan Plus":
    #*http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
    #When the download is finished, close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
    #Click or double-click on the file you just saved to your desktop
    #*In the installation window that appears, click the box to the left of "I have read and...." to place a check mark in the box
    #*The "Install" button in the lower right corner will now be highlighted, click it.
    #*The installation is quick.
    #Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

  • Adobe flash installation crashes

    MacBook Pro OS X version 10.9.4   Safari version 7.0.5
    The downloading of the flash installer is successful, but when it is launched, the installer automatically crashes.
    Apple has told me that the program re-runs through the coding hundreds of times until it crashes. Some applications that require adobe flash do work (some youtube videos) but 75% of the time do not.
    I have uninstalled and deleted the unnecessary libraries, reset safari, and so on....
    Help Please? I'll probably need this for my online class that starts in 2 weeks.....

  • Adobe Flash Installation Gray Screen Error

    Hi,
    When installing adobe flash and other adobe products (adobe reader) I get a gray screen once I load the program. Does anyone know how to fix this? I am on a Windows 8.1 64 bit machine.
    Also, when installing Adobe Air the installer worked perfectly, I would assume this is because the installer was in a different format.
    Thanks.

  • Trouble with Adobe Flash Installation

    I am having an issue installing Adobe Flash on my MacBook Pro OS X 10.9.2 using Safari.  When I try to run the installation, it begins running until about 50%.  Then it says installation was unable to be completed.  It does not give any more detailed error code.  I have enabled pop ups and plug ins, made sure my firewall is off, updated my Safari, etc.  Not sure what else to do.  Please help!

  • Mac OS Adobe Flash installation.

    Hello.
    I am currently having an issue while installing the latest version of Adobe Flash.
    I am using Mac Yosemite, version 10.10.1.
    Currently have Flash 15.0.0
    I had clicked on the Flash download link and grabbed the file just fine. I grabbed the .dmg file to my desktop, and proceeded to to installing it, however when the window pops up to retrieve it, the window tab goes blank and does not continue.
    I have backed out of this and gone through the 'Flash player help' page. I have re-installed the latest version of Adobe Reader, which worked fine. I have gone through Safari preferences and checked everything, i have restarted my system; however, when i return to try installing it (Flash) again, the same thing happens.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    There are two issues that I see happen from time to time:
    If the installer runs and fails, typically the offline installer gets the job done:
    http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg
    If it doesn't, try booting into Safe Mode and running it again:
    OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support
    If the installer just doesn't draw, like you get a black window with nothing, then resetting the PRAM frequently fixes that:

    Adobe Flash Player will not install on OS X ML 10.8.5. I think that problem is in Firewall or Safari Preferences...

  • I can't install Adobe Flash -installation keeps failing

    I run Windows Vista, and have been using Firefox as my browser (current version). In May some time Flash stopped working on Firefox. It works fine on IE8. I have uninstalled Flash and reinstalled it - successful on IE, and uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it, then tried to install the Flash plugin, all to no avail. When I try to install it manually nothing happens. Is something changed on a security setting that is preventing this? My cookies/pop-ups allow adobe.com on Firefox.
    Any help would really be appreciated.

    Thanks for your reply. I am the admin account in Vista. I always log in as admin. Is there a setting within admin preventing me from loading the plugin? If so, I have been able to load other plugins without a problem.
    I can't install the plugin with Firefox closed. It tries to load on the browser. For example, I get the message that a plugin needs to be installed from the top of my browser window, I click on it, it takes me to the Adobe license page, I accept, and it takes me to a window where the plugin is being loaded. Then a window comes up that says "Completing the Plug-in Finder Service" which says "No Plug-ins were installed, Adobe Flash Player 10.3.181, Failed" I get the Manual Install button, but when use that to go to the Adobe page, and try to install manually, nothing happens - no acceptance of license, nothing.
    I have another computer - newer - with Windows 7 - and Flash loaded and runs fine on my Firefox browser on it.
    Any other ideas?
