Can not install Flash 10.1 via Active Directory GPO

Greetings,
Starting with the 10.0.45.2 update, we moved to install Flash via AD GPO using the instructions in the admin guide. We are doing zero custom configuration of Flash with this method, just setting up a Computer based GPO install linking to the downloaded and shared MSI installer from Adobe. For the install of 10.0.45.2, this ran with out a hitch. Setup the GPO ran it in a test OU and then on to production and all the pc's were updated just like it should work
Trying to do the same thing with 10.1.53.64 flat out does not work execpt on a system you have manually uninstalled flash on first, then if you have the GPO load the 10.0.45.2 Flash, that works, then if you follow up with removing the GPO from the OU and adding a new 10.1.53.64 GPO to the OU, the pc will uninstall 10.0 and install 10.1 correctly as your would expect it to do. It will not do this on our deployed systems.
On our deployed systems with the currently installed 10.0.45.2 will not uninstall cleanly when the new installer runs via GPO, nor will it uninstall cleanly if the install computer is moved out of GPO scope as it is configured to do. The GPO attempts to do so but the installer fails with 1603 errors.
Does anyone have a workaround to cleanup the current installs so that 10.1 can be installed? We just don't have the time to hit 100+ desktops to update Flash.
Miles

Just to make sure: have you seen that there is a new Admin Guide for 10.1 at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player_admin_guide.html ?
One thing about the 10.1 installer is that it fails if any browsers are running; I don't know if this is also true when using GPO.

  • I can not install flash player activeX

    Hi, For some reason I had to uninstall Flash Player Plugin Istaller Active X and Flash Player. Although he has performed all procedures and automatic aid two days have passed and I can not install the Active X control As part of the 'install it I get a notification saying actual words (translated from Italian into English):
    The Adobe Flash Player ActiveX is not attempting to install the latest. Visit http://......................player_it to get the latest and most secure.
    This message appears just downloading from the site recommended and everything is really frustrating. My OS is VISTA64x Home Premium and the problem persists on both IE8 IE8 x64 x32.
    Also stress that I have not installed any ActiveX flash player so why do I feel that I try to install the version that is not especially since the most recent discharge from the link that that message would you recommend?
    I hope someone is able to say once and for all how to solve this problem.
    Sincerly Jinjetto

    Hi, glad that worked for you. Also thanks for the explanation as how you came about this. Yes, from my understanding any Install of the CS5, even a trial version Installs the 10.1 (beta/prerelease) versions. It is not clear to me or others why the 10.1 was used in the CS5 instead of the latest version (10.0.45.2). My only guess is that the 10.1 is very close to being released as a shipping version (final release) to the public. The 10.1 had a target date of the first half of 2010. Perhaps that was the reasoning. This is just my opinion:-)
    As I said, many users are having this problem, not just with the CS5, but they Install the 10.1 thinking that will solve whatever problem they may be having with the latest version.
    Your thread is very helpful for other users that may be having the exact problem that you were. For this reason if you marked your thread as answered, they would read it first.
    Thanks,

  • Please Help - Can Not Install Flash

    This is not about downloading or uninstalling,this is about getting flash installed.
    I have a Power Mac G4 with 10.5.8 I was trying to install the latest version of Flash Player and it did not work.
    I used uninstaller,then downloaded - install_flash_player_10_osx.dmg.- Everything went fine until the end. I got a - The following install step failed:run postflight script for plug in.
    Then I downloaded - flashplayer10_1r102_64_ub_mac.dmg - opened it,right clicked on it and went to "Show Contents" then "Resources" and tried installing - Adobe Flash Player.pkg. I got a - You cannot install PlugIn on this volume. A newer version of this software already exists on this volume. Even though I used uninstall to get rid of all Flash beforehand.
    So now any website that need flash player I can not use.I have looked all over this web site for an answer.Please help me get flash player reinstalled,the lattest version if possible.

    Via Javascripting. Look for Flash detection kits at the
    Adobe/Maromedia web
    site and also at Internet search engines.
    As well this forum focuses on database access issues and you
    might find more
    takers for this type of question in the Flash General forum.

  • I have a Mid 2009 Macbook Pro 13 with no restore disk; it has OS 10.8.4 I believe there is something wrong with the OS due to I can not install flash player to view Youtube videos and the when we plug in a Bose headset the sound out will work sometimes

    I bough a used Macbook Pro mid 2009 that came with OS 10.8.9 it didn't have a backup restore disk with S/N W8******66D
    When trying to view some youtube videos; a window would pop up saying "it needs adobe flash player is required for video play back get the latest flash player" but after downloading the file and during installation would have errors and will not installed.....tried to reboot and install again.....but still the same.
    The othe thing I had noticed is when using a good Bose headset with mic the sound output would noticed the headset and then switch from headset to Internal speekers and headset.....thinking that there might be something wrong with the plug in port of the computer or the headset.....the headset works with no issues on my iPad so there must be something wrong with the computer.....tried to move the plugin around the port but no change....while the headset is plug in can hear a short clicking noise and the sound would get lost and back again......but with nothing plugin to the port there is no issue with the sound or mic.
    Thanks for your feed back......it looks like I have two different issues one is a software issue and the outher is a hardware issue
    <Edited By Host>

    The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
    Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
    However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
    Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
    I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

  • Help installing Flash Player 12 through Active Directory

    Hello,
    I signed up to for flash player deployment and downloaded the MSI files for IE and other browsers.  I published them in my Active Directory under User configuration for the group policy that is assigned to the workstation's OU.  On a Windows 7 machine, I am trying to install it through Control Panel > Programs and Features > Install a Program from the Network.
    As a standard user, I cannot do this as the install errors out indicating I need admin privileges.  Ok that's fine.  However, I logged into the computer as Domain Admin, and it still errors out saying I need admin privileges.
    This happens regardless of the "Always install with elevated privileges" being enabled or not in that Group Policy, and yes it was set for both User configuration and computer configuration.
    If I right-click the MSI file itself and select Install while logged in as a domain admin, then it works fine, the UAC does popup though to continue and it did not do that during the attempted install from the control panel.
    The domain controller is Windows 2000.  The workstation is Windows 7 Pro x64.  What am I missing that prevents me from installing through control panel?

  • Can not install flash player on Mac

    I was informed by shutter fly that I needed to update flash player. After a couple of hours and several different attempts I was unsuccessful. I have since uninstalled flash player and tried to re-install to no avail. I am running OSX 10.9.5 and safari 7.0.6. When I run the regular install from website I click on the install now tab (step 1 of 3) and then am taken to another page that says initializing with a long blue bar (step 2 of 3). Very briefly am I then presented  with some instructions to go to download folder, etc. I have tried this probably 50 times and can never read the instructions fast enough. It then takes me to a black screen. I have also tried the offline option and it also takes me to a black screen. I have checked my download folder and there is never anything in there related to flash player. Please help!!

    Can't install Flash Player 12 via Safari on my Apple Macbook Pro 13" w/  2.6 GHz Intel i5 processor. Error message says "User does not have sufficient privileges." I've worked w/ Apple Tech Support, tried various fixes, no change-it's not a setting on the Macbook.  I've emailed Adobe requesting a fix. Any suggestions?

    Adobe can't fix user permissions on your MacBook... and "User does not have sufficient privileges" comes from your OS, on your MacBook, NOT the installer.

  • Can any one tell me how to install flash player on powerbookg4.i actully uninstall it to upgrade it but now i can not install new one.it always says get flash player for powerpc when i try to install it after downloading.it is 10.5.8 version

    Flash Player version 10.1.102.64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users. However, this Flash version won't work for many videos on Facebook, YouTube and other sites. Adobe's latest version, 10.2.x or later, is only for Intel Macs. Adobe will not provide a newer Flash version for PPC Macs.
    The message requesting that you download Adobe Flash Player takes you to Flash Player requiring an Intel processor. Doesn't work on a PowerPC processor. I found a hack, installed it & it works with Firefox, TenFourFox & Safari.
    Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.
