Adobe Flash Player 32-bit/64-bit ActiveX 12.0.0.38 for IE - failing to install (via SCCM/SCUP)

Hi, I've been using SCCM/SCUP to update Adobe Flash for some now, and it's been working great. Much better than pervious custom scripting methods. However, the most recent version for IE, 12.0.0.38, isn't installing properly on some machines in my workplace (all windows 7 sp1 32-bit), and I can't figure out why. I can't see any pattern witht the machines that have the error.
The FlashInstall.log looks fine, no errors at all. And "Programs & Features" shows that version installed. However, SCCM keeps trying to reinstall and gives this error message: Installation job encountered some failures. Error = 0x80240022. I've read up on this message from previous flash versions, these seem to relate to different issues.
The few machines with Firefox have all successfully installed that version, which I notice for the first time I can remember, is a slightly different version number? Adobe Flash Player 32-bit/64-bit Plugin 12.0.0.43.
Has anyone else seen, this issue with 12.0.0.38 for IE, and have any ideas? Thanks

May be related to issues with logic in detection which Adobe is investigating.

Why didn't Adobe Flash Player show up as a plugin in the Firefox add on manager after I installed it?

I installed Adobe Flash Player when it was declared missing by a video. It does not show up in the Firefox Add On Manager. How can I fix this?

It doesn't display in your system details on the support forum either.
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

Having problems with adobe flash player..what do i do!! mouse isn't working.. just installed lion

having problems with adobe flash player mouse wont work with it?

Can you post a screenshot of such a request?
I believe that it is not Adobe or Flash Player doing this, but so far none of the other users who made similar complaints have posted a screenshot.

I made several effort to install adobe flash player but it was not successful. it always tells me me it was already installed yet it is not working

I am a student and i cannot listen to my lecturer's online messages or watch his video

At one time often flash player needed special software to ensure it was uninstalled correctly, I do not think that is now the case.
*As a test go to this page: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
The above link will try to start a simple Flashplayer animation, tell you if flash payer is installed in the browser you are using, and what version is installed. What happens when you click on the blue link above ?

Adobe Flash Player update will not download and receive messages that plugin for videos is disabled.

Received message that Adobe FlashPlayer needed to be updated. I try walking through the steps and it will never download. Cannot view news clips or videos sent to me. Receive a message "The plugin for this content has been disabled. Click here to manage." If I click, nothing happens.

Have you blocked a component called ''plugin_container.exe'' with your firewall by any chance? Check the logs.
Try downloading the [http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html Flash Player Uninstaller]
Next, reboot and then go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ It should give you the option to install it immediately without the need to download it.
Be aware though that when you run the uninstaller, it will also remove Flash from IE8 (or 9), so if you use either of those, you'll have to go to the same site again and download it from within Internet Explorer.

I installed adobe flash player, but when I try to watch a video it says I need to install it.

Does anyone know what might be wrong?

It's not talking about a Flash Drive. It's talking about Flash Player. The iPad does not support Flash.
Try using an IPad browser which provides some support for Flash, e.g., Puffin or iSwifter. See the App Store.

When will Flash Player support my 64-bit browser?

I have had my new Windows 7 PC for a couple of weeks now. When I first got it, I kept getting messages telling me I needed to install Adobe Flash Player in order to get the full experience of a website. So I installed the Flash Player. Subsequently at many websites I got a pesky message about the Flash Player. (I forget the precise content of the message, but I'm sure many people using 64-bit browsers are familiar with it.)
I went to Adobe's site and discovered that the Flash Player did not support 64-bit browsers. Adobe's recommended solution for this disturbing news was that I install and run a 32-bit version of Internet Explorer, and Adobe didn't exactly lead me by the hand in explaining how I should do that. I was told to go to Microsoft and get help there. Yeh, right! Suddenly I'm thinking about a couple of hours of hassle. Nevertheless I browsed over to Microsoft and clicked to a few pages. I did not find any easy-to-follow instructions on how to uninstall my 64-bit Internet Explorer 8 and install a 32-bit version.
Is Adobe advising me to take a step backward? Is, or is not, 64-bit browsing better than 32-bit browsing?
I did not, and have not, installed the 32-bit Internet Explorer. Instead I found help at Adobe for uninstalling the Flash Player. Those pesky messages are history.
I really have not noticed any difference in quality between my former 32-bit browsing and my present 64-bit browsing, with and without the Flash Player. My browsing experience has been good, and I think the Flash Player adds nothing significant. Surely it adds nothing critical. Windows Vista has come and gone without Adobe providing support for its 64-bit version. Maybe the same thing will happen for Windows 7. So be it. If a Flash Player comes out that supports 64 bits, then I will use it. If Flash Player never supports 64 bits, then I'll never again use Flash Player.
I saw another post here, a fairly recent one, where a replier said that about 70% of Internet browsers are still using Windows XP. (I guess more than 90% of those use 32-bit browsers.) Okay, I believe that, but what about the other 30%? If only a measly 5% of all Internet browsers use 64 bits, that's a hell-of-a-lot of people. Surely thousands, maybe millions. Are all these people to be fobbed off? Does Adobe really have something more important to work on?
Should Adobe be condemned for its lassitude regarding 64-bit support? I think so, but what about the horde of websites that features the Flash Player? Knowing well that there are thousands, or millions, of people using 64-bit browsers, should not those websites and their organizations also be condemned?

Frankly I think Adobe is treating its customers shabbilly in this regard. There is a much larger 64 bit windows installed base than 64 bit linux, yet adobe have released the 64 bit linux support first, and not even announced the 64 bit windows version in any way for over a year.
Come on Adobe, we understand you and Microsoft are competitors, but don't let your users get caught in the cross fire. There are now close to as many computers running 64 bit windows than there are running any version of linux, or any version of mac os, 32 bit included.
It has been over a year and a half since Adobe even updated its position on this issue on its web site. Search bing for 64 bit flash and you get 32 million hits. 64 bit windows is nearly 3 years old as a released product, and 4+ years in terms of dobe having access to it.
Adobe, surely at the very least, you owe it to your customers to tell them when you plan to address this.

Can I uninstall Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX?

I downloaded the latest version of Adobe Flash Player to Adobe Flash Player 11 but when I look in the Programs and Features, I see:
Adobe Flash Player 10 Active X
Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin
The Flash Player 10 Active X is an old version that was installed 2 years ago. Should I just uninstall that Active X? Or, keep it?

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Adobe Flash Player 10 Active X - This is the Active X Control for Flash Player 10 (Flash Player for Internet Explorer)
Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin - This the plugin for Flash Player 11 (Flash Player for other browser, like : Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome)
If you do not need Flash Player for Internet Explorer, then you can uninstall Flash Player 10 Active X.
Thanks,
Vikram

I need to uninstall Adobe Flash Player Installer/Uninstaller 14.0 r0

I need to uninstall Adobe® Flash® Player Installer/Uninstaller 14.0 r0 but have looked everywhere for how to do this & can not find out how to do this can someone please help? I am using A Sony Vaio, Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit, I use Chrome Version 36.0.1985.143 m.
I want to get it off of my system because ever since I installed it I have had problems with Chrome loading it does not want to load then if I restart my comptuter & I click on chrome 5 windows open up at one time a white box appears saying "Your profile can not be used because it is from a newer browser version of google chrome. Some features may be available. Please specify a different profile directory or use a different version of chrome" then if you click ok it shuts all the windows down. I have figured a way to get one window to stay open so I can use chrome, now I do have other browser I can use but I do not like them at all & do not have a flash player since mine is built in with Chrome. So on to the other problem that began as soon as I downloaded this & I understand it may not be this but I still want to get it off of my computer. I also have been having trouble with my flash player error messages: saying it has stopped working constantly, it says upgrade flash text, a plug in shock wave flash isn't responding then in (stop plug in) it wants you to hit. I have run 3 different Mallware programs through my computer just in case that was one question that was going to be ask. No other programs jave been downloaded wither.
I am not very good with computers so I have to come to places like this for help & I really have to have help explaining what to do because do not know much about computers other then getting on them & surfing the web & some basic things. When chromes message said specify a different profile directory that went right over m head. So that should give you an idea where I am coming from. I want to thank you in advance & hope I have made sense in what I have written I tried to give all the information that I could.

Your screenshot of task manager clarifies things.
When I replied, I had been looking at the screenshot of the desktop from the original poster, which shows the uninstaller executable and it's properties. That executable doesn't install anything -- it can just be dragged to the trash; however, that didn't completely align with the behaviors either of you were describing, and we've been trying to figure out what you were talking about. It wasn't making a lot of sense to me, and it's not a question that I've seen come up before, at least not articulated this way.
FlashUtil32_XX_XX_XX_XX.exe is the sandbox broker for Internet Explorer. You can read more about the sandbox work here: Flash Player Security with Windows 8 and Internet Explorer 10
The description listed in Task Manager is a bug, and the source of the confusion. We've been doing a lot of work modernizing our build systems, and this is fallout from that work. This is something I'd like to see cleaned up, but it's pretty low on the list of priorities.
The broker service is invoked when Internet Explorer is running in Protected Mode. On my Windows 7 machine running IE 10, running Flash content in Internet Explorer with Protected Mode enabled causes the broker service to be invoked (this is probably true for previous versions as well, but I didn't test them). If I disable Protected Mode and restart Internet Explorer, the broker is not invoked, which is expected.
To disable Protected Mode, launch Internet Explorer and choose security. Uncheck Enable Protected Mode. Internet Explorer will restart, and you should be able to verify that the broker is no longer invoked when loading content with Flash Player.
I've included a screenshot showing the expected processes in both scenarios below. As the Flash Player ActiveX control is loaded into an Internet Explorer process, you'll see the child explorer.exe process listed, which hosts the Flash ActiveX control in the process list.
Sandboxing the Flash Player plug-in is an important security mitigation intended to increase the cost of successfully developing and deploying malware. While it's not a panacea, it significantly raises the bar for attackers. As I'm sure you've read in the news and trade literature, the threat landscape has evolved significantly over the last few years, and modern security threats and their mitigations are a necessary reality. New mitigations typically come with some additional processing overhead. The overhead varies based on the architectural choices made by the particular browser vendors, but the overhead in IE is pretty reasonable.
We haven't published a blog post specific to IE, but if you're interested in the implementation details, the sandbox architecture is similar to what we did with Protected Mode for Firefox on Windows. The Flash Player process that handles untrusted content runs at Low Integrity, which restricts access to critical system resources in the event that you encounter malware designed to take control of the Flash Player process. Access to system resources is negotiated through a Medium Integrity broker process. Without Protected Mode, the Flash Player process handling untrusted content runs at Medium Integrity, making it easier for malware to escalate privileges from a hijacked process. Depending on the functionality in play, a lot of message-passing can take place between IE, the broker and Flash Player. We've effectively doubled the number of messages that get passed, plus put a bunch of validation checks in, and all of that consumes CPU. It also makes your web browsing activity more secure.
Some desktop applications (Yahoo Messenger, for example) also use the ActiveX version of Flash Player installed on your machine. This could explain why you see Flash Player and the broker invoked unexpectedly. We're also aware of an issue on Vista where the broker doesn't always exit as expected. In that instance (and on WinXP), I'd highly recommend that people use Google Chrome for web browsing, as Google has extended some security mitigations that would only be available to Internet Explorer users running in newer versions of Windows, and it doesn't suffer from this specific issue with the broker.

Uninstalling Adobe Flash Player

Works on my two PC's that were failing. Need to test on others to verify.
