Adobe flashplayer installation failed

I own a mac laptop with 0s lion operating system. I originally downloaded Adobe Flashplayer in 2011 and have updated periodically. When I joined facebook I decided to play several apps, however my adobe is blocked and I can't figure out what is wrong. I have tried updating the software. It goes to step two and never gives me a button to go on to the next step. I have followed all the steps to download the newest version but I always get stopped at step 2 of 3. I went into my download files where Adobe requested I allow them to make some changes. I did this however, it didn't seem to make any difference. I am wondering if I should delete all Adobe files and start over.

cannot upgrade adobe flash. installation fails to initianize. plse advise

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
'''Install or update Adobe Flash''' 
#'''Using Firefox''', 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/
#To update/install the ActiveX version for IE '''''only''''', repeat the process, '''but use IE to go to the above website'''.

Adobe Flashplayer installer not working with Windows 8.1 and Firefox

I am running Windows 8.1 and attempted to download Flashplayer for Firefox. I have it working in IE, but it will not launch for Firefox. Any ideas on what might be blocking the Flashplayer installer from running in Windows 8.1?

Adobe CS2 installation failed on macbook air

I am trying to install Adobe Photoshop CS2 on Macbook air, but when the installation goes the half way, system generates a message, "installation failed, please contact the manufacturer". Could you please help me to resolve the issue. thank you

Assuming it is not an OS compatibility issue (which it may well be), you would not be able to activate it anyway. The activation servers for CS2 and earlier are dead and gone.
See the page in the link below. Follow the directions carefully. And see if that works for you.

Hi,
Can you please try the following?
- First do a fresh install of Adobe AIR. You can get the latest one from https://get.adobe.com/air
- Download the Adobe Story installer file directly from this url: https://story.adobe.com/AIR/AdobeStory.air
- Double click on the downloaded file to install it.
If this still fails, please mail us the logs at DL-AdobeStory-support<at>adobe<dot>com

Adobe CC installation fails (updates don't work either)

Hi everyone,
When I try to install Adobe CC apps, it says the installation failed (with every app). However, the apps seem to work properly, except for Audition (crashes when started). I tried updating the apps, but updating fails too. I'm running it on Windows 8.1.
Any suggestions?

uninstall everything cc, clean (Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6) and then reinstall the cc app, Download Adobe Creative Cloud apps | Free Adobe CC trial
install your cc programs using the desktop app.

Unable to launch adobe story app, because adobe air installer fails

Hi,
I am having problems launching the adobe story app. Everytime I try to open it it tries to update and it then launches the adobe air installer which always fails and I get the following message: Sorry, an error has occurred. The application could not be installed because the installer file is damaged. Try obtaining a new installer file from the application author.
If I close the message it launches Adobe Story and it happens again, and it goes into an endless loop.
I've re-installed the latest version of Adobe air on my computer, and it still happens. I am able to login to Adobe Story on the webrowser but there's a lot of files missing. From reading the discussions I'm thinking this might be because its a free account, and the app is no longer available, and since it didn't sync for a long time.
If this is the case, is there a way to recover the missing files without upgrading to a paid account?
I don't want to pay for an account and discover that the files are still missing.
or is this a completely different issue?
In case this information is relevant I use an iMac with Mac OS X version 10.7.4, 3.1 GHz Intel Core i5 Processor, 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 Memory.
Thank you.

Hi,
We have recently pushed out a new build of Adobe Story.
If the update is still failing, please mail me(roverma <at> adobe <dot> com) the contents of AIR installation logs.
You can get the contents of the install log using the following steps:
Mac OS X
Open the Console application from the Applications/Utilities folder.
Select System.log from the log list on the left.
In the String Matching filter field, type Adobe AIR.
Select all, and then copy and paste into a text file.
Thanks

Adobe CS6 'Installer failed to initialize' on Windows 7. Help!

I downloaded the Adobe Extended CS6 from Adobe.com on to my Windows 7 (HP) Dell laptop on 64bit.
After unpacking the downloaded file, I tried to run the installer but got the message - 'Installer failed to initialize'. It tells me to dowload the Adobe Support Advisor but the program is no longer available. See- Adobe - Adobe Support Advisor
This new link just gives generic links. (Thanks for that Adobe!)
In trying to fix this, I have uninstalled all Adobe Cloud/Flash software and ran the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner and CCleaner tools. And yet the problem persists.
I've lost half a day trying to fix this, so if there's anyone out there who can help I'd be very grateful!

Have been installing CS6 manually across our site for about a week, suddenly the install has stopped working and I receive the following error;
"We've encountered the following issues

When I click on the link to "Get Adobe Support Advisor", it says its discontinued! - Irritating
