Adobe Flash Player 11 "Error: Failed to Register"

I ran the install for Adobe Flash Player 11, and it said "Error: Failed to Register". How can I install it?

"Failed to register" indicates a permission problem in the Windows registry.
Are you installing as an Administrator user?
If yes, try the methods indicated in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/987370

Adobe flash player 13 failed to register, but...

Adobe flash player installed on latest version of Firefox and in my add/remove programs -- Windows XP. But, it failed to install on IE8.
Trying to install adobe flash player 13 gave me an error it failed due to it could not register.
Any ideas on how to have it installed on IE8?

Use the MSI installer: http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_player_ 13_active_x.msi
It cures this.

Adobe Flash Player 10 failed to register

Hello, I don't know much about how Adobe Flash Player works or how to fix this issue. I have a XP Pro SP3 and my flash player worked fine when I first installed it. Then one day, I turned on my laptop and let it load and suddenly my flash player would not work. I then proceeded to uninstall and reinstall the player assuming that would help, however I was wrong. I then tried ridding my computer of all adobe products and was hoping to reinstall them right after rebooting. That was a great idea except excruciating problem, my computer WILL NOT allow me to uninstall Adobe Reader, or Adobe AIR.
When I do try to uninstall the programs, I get this message
" This application requires a version of Adobe AIR which cannot be found.
Please download the latest version of runtime from
http://www.adobe.com/go/getair ,
or contact the application author for an updated version. "
I also get a similar message when I try to uninstall Adobe Reader.
I would really appreciate some help with this as it is a major inconvienence for me.
Thank you in advance,
Cody518

After going through my control panel and looking at my add/remove programs section, I currently have Adobe AIR, Adobe Download Manager, and Adobe Reader 9.3.1
I've also tried updating my adobe reader and I get an update failed notice saying
" Cannot establish a connection. Please try again later. "
I obviously have a internet connection, so why would this happen?

Adobe Flash Player 13 failed to register on Windows 7. Why?

I also had the same 'Failed to Register' problem with Flash Player 12 update install. Was only able to recover by doing a system restore which stopped it asking me to update and then failing. I didn't try to update after the system restore so don't know what is on my machine now.
I've downloaded the cleanup from adobe and ran the program as administrator and nothing worked. I even deleted a registry entry which also had no effect.

Same problem. Flash player 12 just stopped loading one day in IE (only browser I have on this PC) - all I saw was green boxes any time a flash object like a video would try to load. So I tried reinstalling Flash Player and it failed consistently stating that it couldn't be registered. I tried installing the new v13 but I get the same "can't register" errors. This happens with online or offline installer. I ran the Flash Uninstaller utility and rebooted but that didn't help. I found an article in Adobe's knowledge base about running some batch file with SubInACL but that didn't work - it did a bunch of stuff but it still wouldn't install. That file was made for Flash 11 and I see no sign that one was made for either versions 12 or 13.

Flash Player 10--failed to register

I have been trying to download and install Adobe Flash Player 10, but cannot make it happen. I have tried with both IE7 & IE8. I have tried installing from your site and also downloading the executable file. From your site I get the error, "Failed to register". If I use the downloaded executable file, Install_Flash_Player_10_ActiveX.zip, the error I get is "Failed to Install." I have read many of the forum threads on this and, as suggested there, have tried going to the DOS command prompt and typing, "secedit...", but DOS says the command does not exist. What can I do?

the fastest solution is this:
Open register
go to:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{D27CDB6B-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000}
select this number with a right click
select permissions and put a V on averybody and anonimous controll and read
than you can install flash 10 from the adobe site as usual
this works on windows 7 and XP

Can't install Adobe Flash player ERROR. Please help

I tried to download the update of Adobe Flash Player BUT every time I try to download it... Look at the screen shot. ERROR.
Please help me I am really happy if someone here can help me.

Hello,
The log file indicates there are permissions issues on a couple of files and they are not being removed. This is preventing the installation of the new version. Please run the uninstaller, posted here Uninstall Flash Player | Windows, and post an updated FlashInstall.log file, and a screenshot of the files remaining in the /Macromed/Flash directory after running the uninstaller. Please only run the uninstaller and do not attempt to re-install at this time.
Thank you.

Hotmail ad is causing Adobe Flash Player error (REVISED)

Hi,
This is an updated version of my question (see original question posted here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/874194)
I'm now using Internet Explorer 9.0.8112.16421 (32-bit edition) on a 64-bit Windows 7 machine and using Adobe Flash Player 10.3.181.34.
In my original question, I was receiving the following error. I am still receiving the following error. Whenever I check my e-mail on Hotmail, I get the following error:
Here are some problems:
1. When I click on "SETTINGS," the dialogue box closes, nothing else happens, and the problem doesn't go away, even after I restart the browser.
2. I also tried using the 64-bit version of Internet Explorer and Adobe Flash Player Square (beta) and received the same error.
3. The problem appears to be caused by a sidebar ad on the Hotmail home page.
4. I must use Hotmail.
5. I must use Internet Explorer for various reasons.
I would like to not have this error box pop up all the time.
Any suggestions?

Hi, I wasn't sure if that would make a difference or not. I'll see if I can find the Hotmail contact info for you.
Actually, I wouldn't want to prohibit Flash Player from putting this warning up. There is a reason and it is for your Security. As far as that Setting not working, that in my opinion is a good thing. Re-read what that Setting does. Why would that URL/ad site need to communicate with the Internet? For what purpose? Trojans like to communicate with the Internet too:-)
You nor I have no idea what this site is all about or even up to. I'd be very careful with this until I knew more about it.
I would run a full scan with your Anti-Virus and then I would report this URL and the circumstances to them.
My problem is that this URL was flagged and that it wants to communicate with the Internet. Now I've seen hundreds of ads and have not received anything like that message with that wording.
Let me know and I'll get back to you with some Hotmail info.
Thanks,
eidnolb

Hotmail ad is causing Adobe Flash Player error...need a fix or workaround

Hi,
I'm using Internet Explorer 9.0.8112.16421 (64-bit edition) on a 64-bit Windows 7 machine and using Adobe Flash Player "Square" 10.3.162.28 ActiveX 64-bit.
Whenever I check my e-mail on Hotmail, I get the following error:
Here are some problems:
1. When I click on "SETTINGS," the dialogue box closes, nothing else happens, and the problem doesn't go away, even after I restart the browser.
2. The same problem occurs even when I use the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer with the latest Adobe Flash Player.
3. The problem appears to be caused by a sidebar ad on the Hotmail home page.
4. I must use Hotmail.
5. I must use Internet Explorer for various reasons.
I would like to not have this error box pop up all the time.
Any suggestions?
Thanks...

OK, here's the workaround I found:
To fix the pop-up security error:
1. Google "Adobe Flash Player Global Security Settings Panel". Here is the link I found:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.htm l#117502
2. Select "Always allow" from the settings panel.
3. Close the browser and re-start it.
This may not be an ideal solution, but it has been extremely painful to have to close literally dozens -- if not a hundred -- error boxes that kept popping up every day while I check my e-mail.

Hello sunnyskoolof13, Below is some information on the brccmctl file you list. You must have a Brother printer of other Brother device.
brccmctl.exe is a process from Brother Industries, Ltd.. It can be found in the location of C:\Program Files\brother\controlcenter3.
brccmctl.exe is a potential security risk which can be modified maliciously by spyware.
brccmctl.exe should be disabled and removed, if it was attacked and brought you brccmctl.exe error.
Just go to the Control Panel, Programs and Features, ( if using Windows 7) If using Windows XP, go to Control Panel, Add and Remove Programs, and locate and remove this application.
If your Brother Device stops working, you may need to reinstall the application.
Please click the White Kudos star on the left, to say thanks.

Adobe Flash Player download fails

Anyone else having trouble downloading Adobe Flash Player 11.1.102.62 dated July 26th? I've been trying for several days and it always fails to download. Not sure how to get more detail about what part failed other than what is listed in the status page, which just says "Failed to download one or more packages."

Well to answer my own question, had a MS patch that also failed to download. Opened up a ticket and was instructed to delete problem patches and either wait for update that night or force update. MS patch showed back up and was able to download. Adobe patch did not come back, so it either no longer applied or was superseeded, I asssume.

Iweb 08: adobe flash player error messages and crashing when saving

Hi.   I switched not too long ago from an 08 Imac to a mid 2011 with Mountain Lion.    I brought the applications I could from the other computer, including Iweb 08.
today was the first time I tried to tweak my site with it. I opened the old file on the new computer using this method:
http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWeb_Transfer_Site.html
All seemed well at first. Then I got a slew of error messages to the effect of "Adobe® Flash® Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation. The following local application on your computer or network: blah blah is trying to communicate with this internet-enabled loaction: blah blah blah".
My site is used to display my work in the video production field, so it's related to the various players/videos embedded.
In addition, when I tried to save after opening that first time, and any time, since, it crashes during the save.
Any ideas what's going on here?
Here're two of the pages on my site that were making iweb go nuts:
http://videoproduction.joshbass.com/Videoproduction-_ENG_Interviews.html
http://videoproduction.joshbass.com/Videoproduction-_Commercial.html
Thanks.

Whether or not you use iWeb, you may be aware that things have changed. Since you're a professional, I assume the trade must have talked about it.
I'm not a professional, but I have read about it for the past few years.
Adobe Flash is on it's way out. Especially on Mobile devices, such as my iPad, where your movies do not display.
Here's how I do it.
It started with this in Flash :
http://www.wyodor.net/_Movies/rolando/
Then made this with the <embed> code 4 years ago :
http://www.wyodor.net/Tutorials/ImageWidget/ClickMovie.html
And in a similar style, made for iPad :
http://www.wyodor.net/mfi/cultureclub/Movies.html
Then HTML5 came along and made a sample with custom code to explain it :
http://www.wyodor.net/_Demo/html5/HTML5Video.html
And with code from the Interwebs :
http://www.wyodor.net/_Demo/html5/HTML5_Zencoder.html
http://www.wyodor.net/_Movies/sublime/
And regarding the Adobe messages? It's not particular to your situation. It's a warning that you try to use Flash outside the protected area of a website.
You can either ignore it, or prevent it by making separate webpages for each flash video and then display them with an iframe in the HTML Snippet. The HTML5 demos above do that.
So the magic word is : Educate.

Hi there, my adobe flash player keeps on having issues. I downloaded the install file, open it and click install and it instantly fails and comes up with this message.
"Installation failed. Not enough permissions to write disk". Any ideas?

I think 2 options:
- try repair disk permissions
- try to do a flash clean install (https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1267823)

Adl Error : Adobe Flash Player error: could not load cURL library

Hi people,
I am trying to get this code working --
var loader;
$(function() {
loader = new air.HTMLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(air.Event.COMPLETE, complete);
loader.load(new air.URLRequest('http://www.lilpirate.net/blog')); });
function complete() {
$(loader.window.document).ready(function(){
$("#texts").val($("#header",loader.window.document).val());
alert("Complete!"); });
I get the Complete! alert message, but the textarea with id texts is not updated with the data in #header which is on http://www.lilpirate.net/blog
I think this is happening because of the error message adl is throwing.
I'm running Fedora 13 x64 and have installed flash player correctly(firefox test). I also have libcurl and libcurl devel packages installed.

I'm getting the same problem. No explaination of why, and
downgrading all my security to DANGEROUSLY unsafe levels doesn't
help, nor does setting anything in the settings app. (Have you ever
used a slower application?)
I did find (using a Google search) a blog that pointed me to
the article located at this address:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=13530cdd
I don't know yet if it will help, but it appears to be on the
right track.
Good luck.
