Adobe Flash Player 10 - repeated installations

I have Win 7 (Starter) on a new Acer Aspire One 532. My main (and only) login id is for me which also has admin. privileges.
However I have to repeatedly install Flash Player 10 in order to view clips on YouTube, BBC and my own web site.
Once installed - via the Adobe Download Manager - all clips play OK. If I close the lid and the netbook hibernates, and then when I open it up again, all is well.
However if there is a Windows update, or if I do a restart / reboot, Flash Player gets 'uninstalled,' or maybe Win 7 just 'forgets' that it has been installed. Then I have to go through the whole download process to re-reinstall it until the next time.
Actually this is only for IE8.
I have tried downloading other versions for Opera, Safari, Chrome and Foxfire - and the installation(s) remain permanent.
Flash Player is the only application that exhibits this behaviour. But I do use it a lot. All other apps. once installed seem to remain available for use without fail.
So why is Flash Player with IE8 such a problem, and what can I do to 'fix' its installation once and for all?
Thank you - Chris Brady.
P.S. I have uninstalled McAfee because it was causing lots of problems. I now use MS Security Essentials.

Thank you very much for your help and support.
I only have one user id on the netbook - me with full Admin. privs.
The OS is 32-bit Win 7 (Starter).
So quite awhile ago I removed McAfee using the special removal app. Its all went. Then after removing McAfee I also ran the special rereg.cmd file from MS which re-registers the IE8 dlls that McAfee screwed up.
I now use MS Security Essentials.
Also I've again checked IE8 and Shockplayer is indeed Enabled and the version is correct.
When installed FP 10 works fine. But when I have to reboot / restart it seems to get uninstalled from IE8. Then both my own web site, and YouTube and the BBC etc. all complain that its missing. (I can't install an earlier version, e.g. 9, 'cos then they also complain that its not the latest).
But Flash Player 10 for Chrome, Foxfire, Opera, and Safari - all work OK. They have remained installed for quite a while, and they're always there and work as expected.
I think that this is actually an IE8 issue, but MS on the Answers Forum(s) have not replied. And searching the web I can't find any other similar instances.
Acer Customer Support suggested a full diskless re-install of Win 7 etc. at a cost of £75 (for the CD) - then flagged my post as 'solved.' Then they suggested installing IE9 - until I pointed out that this was likely still in beta (if at all). Again they flagged this as a solution.
However I did do a Factory Reinstall - that is I restored the OS from a special partition on the hard-drive that took everything back to an out-of-box situation - at least I think I did. Acer have a System Recovery / Restore feature which seemed to take everything back to start. (I saved all my data files on a flash drive before hand!!).
Then I reinstalled Flash Player 10 - yet again. But none of the above problem.

P.S. I'm also having problems with Media Player 12 - it gives a 'Server Execution Failure' every time I try and play a file with it.

Adobe Flash Player 11.4 installation via SCCM(Batch File)

Hi Guys,

SCCM program-> i m just calling ->
commandline --> flashinstall.bat
my code in batch file is,
@echo off

EXIT
Can you please help me out regarding how to run batch file in sccm

OK , I just deployed flash player here and it ran like a charmy .
1 - Download the last version of flash ( msi )
- Go to this URL and Download the msi file : http://www.adobe.com/au/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
2 - Create a "install.cmd" file .
- Create a folder , place the flash player msi file there ( install_flash_player_11_plugin.msi) . Inside this folder , create a file with the name "install.cmd" . Open this file and add the follow lines :
msiexec /qn /norestart /i "%~dp0install_flash_player_11_plugin.msi"
exit /B %EXIT_CODE%
Salve and close the file .
I assume that you know how to create a package / program .
3 - Create a new package
- After create the packge , create a new program for the package . In command line field , click in browse , make sure that you list "all files (*.*)" and click at install.cmd . Select the msi file (install_flash_player_11_plugin.msi) on "Windows Installer" option . also , make sure that "Run with administrative rights" is selected on "Environment" .
Thats should be enough , let me know how it go .
Cheers ,

Adobe Flash Player 10.2 installation flaw

When I downloaded AFP 10.2 everything was fine, that is until the installation.
After I "installed" it, "The ActiveX control for Flash Player could not be registered" popped up.
I did everything I saw on other forums, but to no avail. I am currently in a sticky situation here.
Also, my OS is Windows 7 Professional 32-Bit and I'm using Internet Explorer 9.

Hi, thanks for checking. Well Microsoft says if you can see the Clock then you are using the Administrator Account. And it is this Account that has Permission to Install Flash Player, since the Installer writes to the Windows Registry. That's the purpose of the Clock test.
Now, have you had any malware/virus issues?
What Anti-Virus/Spyware programs are Installed?
Sometimes they can block Flash Player from Installing the ActiveX Control.
Thanks,

Adobe Flash player now demands installation of McAfee Security Scan, is there an alternative to Adobe Flash player?

I do not want ant McAfee products installed on my system but now it seems that Adobe Flash player goes hand in hand with McAfee Security Scan, you can't have one without the other. What on earth are Adobe up to and are there any other options? Thank you.

You can download without mcaffe, jus uncheck the '''Optional offer'''

Adobe Flash Player 10.1 installation keeps popping up

I keep getting a pop up message when I turn AOL on with an installation window to install Flash Player 10.1 but the the box install is not highlighted and I have to X out of it to remove the window. This window keeps repeating itself. I tried installing it when the first pop up appeared. The box was high lighted then and the installation started but did not install. I have checked the list of installed programs and it is not listed. I tried to download the program but it starts installing and a message saying remove any previous version. How can I remove this pop up and download the program? Thanks.

I am trying to download Adobe Flash Player 11.0 Installer and it stops 1/2 thru stating I need to disable firefox. What do I do?

How do I download Adobe Flash Player11.0 Installer using firefox?

Download and installation are two separate steps. The Adobe Flash '''installation''' procedure requires that Firefox be closed before installing Flash.
orange Firefox button > '''''Exit''''' or File > Exit to close Firefox. Then wait a minute or so before starting to install Flash.

I continuously get a Firefox pop-up saying that there are missing plug-ins. This seems to be the Adobe Flash Player and the installation fails when I click on the button. I've installed it manually but Firefox still gives the pop-up. Very frustrating.

Pop-up is the yellow bar at the top with the Install Plugin button enabled

Insufficient privileges to install Adobe Flash Player

After I downloaded Adobe Flash Player 13 directly from the Adobe web site, the Adobe Flash Player Installer started installing the player, however the installation could not be completed and a message "The user does not have sufficient privileges to install Adobe Flash Player." was shown.
I tried downloading the player from "Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer), save it and execute it by "Run as administrator", This time "Adobe Flash Player 13.0 Installer" returned a message "The installation encountered errors: A required file (C:\Windows\SysWOW64|FlashPlayerApp.exe:5) could not be written due to insufficient permissions.".
This is for installing the player in PC running Windows 7 Home Premium, web browser is Internet Explorer 11, version 11.0.9600.17041.
When I access the Control Panel, I can see "User Accounts and Family Safety" tab there. However, I have set up user called "James" which is an administrator, password protected. I tried set up another administrator account, download the player and install again, and got the same privileges problem.
At the end I could not install Adobe Flash Player.

Most likely a clean install will fix your issue: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/928315
