Cannot install Flash Player in Windows 8.1

Tried to install Flash Player in Windows 8.1 (32 bit). Used all the instructions; i.e, disable saftey, enable scripting, etc. An install box says Update KB2934802 is already installed. Searched computer for KB.....02 and Flash Player. Says none exist. Any suggestions?

Ever since Windows 8, Flash Player for Internet Explorer is written by Adobe ONLY. It's embedded by Microsoft, and you cannot:
- Update it
- Download it
- Install it
- Reinstall it
from here. You MUST update Flash Player ActiveX (for Internet Explorer) through Windows update. But... Using Windows 8.1 means you were forced to update to IE11, which has it's own problems and they can be summed up in three words...
"User-Agent Strings"
That doesn't mean a lot, I'm sure, but it's the root of your problems, and Flash Player has nothing to do with it.
Microsoft "rewrote" the User-Agent Strings for the abomination they call their latest and greatest browser. User-Agent Strings are what websites use to identify the browser you're using and provide the proper content for it's browser engine, like ActiveX stuff, and Flash or HTML5 video. Thanks to the geniuses in Redmond, WA, the User-Agent Strings for IE11 (which has a Trident engine), ID it as either "Gecko" (Firefox) or "Webkit" (Chrome). Problem is: when the site the directs to the content for one of these two engines, the Trident engine in IE can't intepret it and the site then sees IE as an "unidentified" browser.
The problem with an unidentified browser is that the plug-ins in that browser aren't recognized either, so even though you're up to date, it says you need the latest Flash Player when you use IE11. YouTube... has converted to HTML5 video so if it doesn't detect Flash Player, it can display HTML5 (MP4) video which requires no plug-in to play. Facebook can't do that, because HTML5 doesn't apply to games... only video.
Microsoft has no plans to "fix" the mess thay've created because they think it's a great idea to block you out of the websites you visit.
They recommend using "Compatibility View" and pretending that you're using an older verison of IE... Problem with that is that it's seen limited success, and you have to enable it for EVERY page that has problems... individually.
The REAL solution, like the original problem can also be summed up in three words:
"Use another browser"
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

Cannot install Flash Player on Windows 7 64 Bit

I have a Dell with Windows 7 64 Bit laptop. I cannot install the adobe flash player. I have seen a lot posted on here, but am really lost. Can anyone explain to me what I can do to fix the problem. Really upset because this is a new computer. Thanks for any help.

Hello All, I want to first say I appreciate your help.

Here is the link to what I used.

How can i install flash player for window 8.1(64 bit) on my laptop

how can i install flash player for window 8.1(64 bit) on my laptop?

For Internet Explorer, you don't. Microsoft has already done it.
For Firefox, Opera or Safari, use the Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
For Chrome, you don't need to wither because Google puts it in the browser.

I cannot install flash player on my MAC - (osx 10.8.4) - it downloads 50%, then clicks to "finish"

I cannot install flash player on my Mac - running OSX 10.8.4 and Safari 6.0.5. The progress bar show is as downloading to 50%, then converts to "installing" and immediately goes to 100% and says it's installed. But it's not. I get another Adobe Flash installer icon on my desktop instead. Help!

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
First, remove Adobe Flash Player completely using Flash Player uninstaller for MAC : http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html
Download offline installer for Adobe Flash Player (MAC) from here : http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac/install_flash_playe r_11_osx.dmg
Once the file is downloaded, run the installer
Thanks,

I had installed flash player on Window 8.1 for 32 bit and now I have to change it to 64 bit.

I had installed flash player on Window 8.1 for 32 bit and now I have to change it to 64 bit.

I don't understand what you are saying: you change Windows to 64-bit?
Just reinstall Flash Player, and it will automatically install both 32-bit and 64-bit players on a 64-bit system.

Cannot install Flash Player for Firefox

I am running Windows XP HE with SP4. IE and the latest version of Firefox are installed.
In both IE and Firefox, on attempting to install Flash Player with the standard link, I get an error message in a small window opens, title "getPlus+(R): Error," text "Unable to load a GUI," "OK" box. I got around this by locating a standalone installation for IE, which downloaded an installation file to my computer. However, this does not work in Firefox, even when obtaining access to that link from Firefox. The file executes, but Flash Player still shows as not installed in Firefox.
I cannot find any separate standalone installer for Flash Player for Firefox.
This error message appears to be generated by the Adobe Installer, a getPlus product. My thought was to uninstall the Adobe Installer, and try to start over. However, the Adobe Installer shows up in the list of installed programs reached through Control Panel, BUT clicking the button to uninstall the program does nothing. The program remains listed. I cannot find a location for the Adobe Installer program on my disk drive.

As I said in my first message, Adobe DLM appears in the "Add/Remove Programs" dialogue box, but clicking the Remove button doesn't do anything. The screen flickers for a couple of seconds, and Adobe DLM remains listed as an installed program. There is no installed program listed under the description getPlus or NOS.
I found useful information at http://www.findmysoft.com/news/Patch-to-Fix-Critical-Adobe-Download-Manager-Vulnerability- Released/ . Not to put too fine a point on it, information at various locations shows that the DLM has been a troublesome program.
IE did not list Adobe DLM, getPlus, or NOS as an addon. Firefox listed "getPlusPlus for Adobe 16263" as a plugin. There was not other extension or plugin listed under Adobe DLM, getPlus, or NOS.
Based on the information at the link cited above, I tried the following. First, in Firefox, I disabled the getPlusPlus for Adobe 16263 plugin. Removing it was not an option. First, using services.msc, I disabled the getPlus Helper service. Removing it was not an option. Third, I deleted the directory c:\Program Files\NOS and its subtree. I did not find anything relevant in the Application Data directories.
I then went to the link on the Adobe Web site to install Flash Player. (I know, it's already installed, but I wanted to see if the DLM would now function.) This time, the first thing that happened upon clicking the link to install it was that the site completed a new installation of DLM. However, on proceeding to the installation of Flash Player itself, I got the same error message noted above, "A GUI could not be loaded." So nothing changed. Opening services.msc again, I noted that the getPlus Helper service had been reinstalled, and was no longer disabled. The c:\Program Files\NOS directory had been recreated. I tried manually starting the getPlus Helper service, and trying the installation again through the Adobe Web site. Same result, no help. And note that DLM is not being cleaned up automatically as part of this process, as is supposed to happen.
I'm thinking that a previous installation of DLM left behind some corrupted relic that is preventing it from running properly. Very likely an incorrect registry entry. But good luck finding that one without help.
NOS Micro has a link to "Contact Our Support Team" at http://www.nosltd.com/index.php/support . Maybe as a last resort see if they would respond? Note that I can't locate a way to get support from Adobe except by paying $39.95 per incident for telephone support.
Thanks!

Installing Flash Player on Windows 2000

Thanks to numerous past discussions, methods have been found for installing Flash Player 11.2.202.235 on Windows 2000. See this thread, which explains how to use HxD Hex Editor to make a simple change that will allow installation on Windows 2000:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4428785
The original post goes into fine detail with illustrations. Here's a quick redux:
- Download the latest Adobe Flash Player (IE or non-IE) for Windows 32-bit systems.
- Download HxD Hex Editor hereabouts (VirusTotal rates it clean):
http://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/
- Unzip and install HxD.
- Launch HxD and open the Adobe Flash Player Installer, something like:
install_flash_player_32bit.exe
- Hit F3 for HxD's search function, and search for SetDllDirectoryW
- On the right-hand side of the HxD display, change SetDllDirectoryW to GetModuleHandleW
- SaveAs install_flash_player_32bit_Win2k.exe or similar.
- Quit HxD and run the modified Flash Player Installer. It should install fine on Win2k.
This worked for me using Flash Player Installer 11.2.202.235, both IE and non-IE versions.
This is a hack and is not officially supported by Adobe.

I installing the Adobe Flash plugin ONLY by my own hand. Sadly, Adobe did not come up with zip archive with just the plugin dll file, but I install - copy the DLL - and uninstall. Then manually delete the remaining files and just use the DLL or the installer.
To make the installe work at Win2k, the very same hack is need - hack the Flash Util file the same way, as the dll - change in it the SetDllDirectoryW to GetModuleHandleW and that it is!
If someone want, there is Flash Util and Adobe Flash as DLL files, hacked with W2k:
http://rapidshare.com/files/3122942562/Flash%20Players%20for%20W2k.zip
http://depositfiles.org/files/max4wif3c
http://www.sendspace.com/file/z2t9j2
Archive contain Adobe Flash unpacked (ready to copy into Firefox) with their utility files hacked for W2k in these versions: Flash Player 9.0.124.0, Flash Player 10.0.32.18, Flash Player 10.1.85.3, Flash Player 10.1.102.64, Flash Player 10.2.159.1, Flash Player 10.3.183.29, Flash Player 11.2.202.235, Flash Player 11.3.300.273, Flash Player 11.4.402.287
Interesting thing. Fullscreen video won't work on YouTube (only white screen, sound go ok) with Firefox v3.0.14 and Adobe Flash higher version that 10.0.32.18... Strange, strange
(could be that the Firefox is kinda old, but it is weird that v10.0.32.18 works flawlessly and just v10.1.85.3 not at all in fullscreen... I also use relatively old Forceware drivers v45.28 on crap GF2MX400 card :-) )

Cannot install flash player partially uninstalled

Dear community members,
I successfully installed Flash Player back in April. It was working well until a couple of weeks ago, when video clips wouldn't work sometimes, but did with a bit of coaxing. The sites affected were - Facebook, Iview (TV), Youtube,and my bank's website. The same applied when playing games. The situation has now degraded to the extent that I cannot access any of the sites listed, and get video/voice.
I downloaded the instructions to uninstall, and downloaded the .exe file and ran it (no problems). However, the instructions said to delete files in the system32\Macromed\flash directory, but when I tried to I was told I didn't have the right privileges. I have administrator rights. How higher can one Go?
I tried to install again, only to be told that Flash Player is already installed. How do I fix Flash Player, when I cannot uninstall or install it? Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
Regards,
Gazza

You have Shockwave Flash 10.1 r82 installed already.

Cannot install Flash Player ActiveX plugin

It's very interesting that I am able to install Flash Player for Mozilla but not for IE (ActiveX). As I'm a web site designer, I need to surf my design at different browsers to ensure compatibility. I tried many of solutions (such as uninstaller, reset_fp10, ccleaner, registry cleaner) but still not work. I hope the attached install log file may help to find out what's wrong and the solution.
Joe

Hello, I did not look at the install log. However, the first thing you want to do is go to add/remove and find out what of Adobe is listed there.
When Adobe Flash Player 10 is installed and is listed in Add/Remove is says: Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX.
List everything that is Adobe in Add/Remove
Next list each add on that is in Manage Add/Ons and whether it is enabled or disabled.
You need to know what you have before you do anything else.
(I use an 8 year old Dell, running XP3 with IE 6 and I have never used registry cleaners or anything of that nature. I keep Windows updated and never once has Microsoft told me I needed to use a registry cleaner because I've installed an update or an upgrade. I was told long ago to leave the registry alone and have done so. This is just my opinion. I am not a programmer and would never do anything with my computer that I have no knowledge of. )
Sometimes users go where angels fear to tread so to speak with their computers.
Let's see what you have installed and what add/ons you have and go from there.

Cannot install Flash Player without a password and I don't have one.

I cannot seem to install Flash Player without a password and I do not have one. What to do?

The password that's being requested (required) is your user account password ON YOUR SYSTEM (not for Adobe). You CANNOT install without an administrator account, and you CANNOT set up an administrator account without a password.

Installing Flash Player on Windows 7 Professional 32-bit IE closed but still requests closing

Windows 7 Professional is using Internet Explorer 11.0.9600 with update 11.0.15. Installing Flash Player 16.0.0.305. Starts installing and stops at 72%, advising that Internet Explorer needs to be closed and then try again. In Task Manager IE is not open. Tried going to the Active X download and ended up at the same error. We installed Windows 365, if that impacts the installation, though it has not stopped any other installations done after installing 365. Any help you can provide would be appreciated.

First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view#ie=ie-11
If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.
