Cannot install Flash Player using Internet explorer

When I click Dowload for Adobe Flash Player I get a new windo
w that shows 4 steps that might occur during
the download.  I get none of them, so I don't know what to do.  Please help.

I joined this thread because I had the same problem to ernstbandit as per the original post in this thread.
I was also having the problem on the Adobe download page that ernstbandit described in a later post "Depending on your security setting, you may encounter these steps: Steps 1,2,3,4."  Once I get to that spot there are no further things to click on.  None of the steps appear".  Exactly my problem.
I turned off my AV (Latest Norton) as instructed by Adobe message.
I'm confident that the download issue has nothing to do with the Flash program.   The download issue is a problem trying to initiate a download from the Adobe site http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ using IE8.   The download breaks before the download starts.  This is only an IE8 issue.   My Firefox and Chrome can download.
The link http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html downloads and installs from IE8.  But my Flash still hangs (after reboot).
My 2nd problem (and why I was trying to download) was that Flash was hanging in IE8
To get mine working I had to:
Uninstall Flash Player (both Plugin And Active X)
Re install from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html using IE8
This then worked in IE8 but not in Firefox.
I then installed againg from Firefox using http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
To get it working in multiple browsers looks like you need to do IE8 first.   And this may have been my original problem.   As I normally use Firefox I probably initially loaded the upgrade from Firefox.
Why are you asked about your OS and browser when you download Flash?
Why are there 2 choices for Browser IE8 and Other?
And does this mean that Flash may not work if you run multiple browsers?
To the others I would suggest if IE8 is giving you grief try Firefox, I had used IE4, IE5, IE6 and IE7 but have found perfomance of IE8 on my aging and overloaded laptop dire.
I only keep IE8 as my default browser because Automatic Windows Updates don't work if IE is not your default browser.

  • Installing flash player(error internet explorer)

    When I try to install flash player is gives me an error message that I need to get
    out of internet explorer. what does that mean?

    It means that you need to close all Internet Explorer windows.
    If you still get that message after closing IE, check with the Task Manager (Processes tab) if iexplore.exe is still running in the background.
    P.S. you must also close any Messenger applications that are running.

    1. Internet Explorer 11 is the latest release. You might want to check for Windows updates to get IE11.

    There's a good chance that this is a known issue.  We'll have a Flash Player 18 beta later this week that should resolve this at http://www.adobe.com/go/flashplayerbeta/

  • Cannot install Flash Player using IE 11, but Firefox works

    I have an issue in QuickBooks that required IE to use Flash Player to view data.  It stopped working a while ago, I think when I reloaded Firefox.  I tried uninstalling Flash Player (and even Firefox) and then tried to download flash player again via IE and it still will not download anything using the Adobe download page.  If I use Firefox, it downloads and works, however my QuickBooks application still errors out.  How can I download Flash Player for IE11 (Windows 7).  

    Try the offline installer: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player_ax.e xe

  • 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.

  • Fix for Flash Player in Internet Explorer Issue

    I've seen quite a few people with this issue and they all
    seem to have issues finding the fix...I never found a 100% solution
    on Adobe's site, but I found some directions that finally worked.
    Basically, if Flash Player refuses to work in Internet
    Explorer for you (but works in other browsers if you've tried) then
    follow the steps available at
    Fix
    Flash Player in Internet Explorer .
    It's basically a mashup of various directions available on
    Adobe & Microsoft's websites with links to all the files that
    you will need to download. Hopefully Adobe can use the list to
    create a fix that works.

    Hopefully this FAQ will help:

  • Flash Player for Internet Explorer has to be reinstalled

    Every time I'm booting my computer, Flash Player for Internet Explorer has to be installed. I'm using Win7, 64 bits. Without reinstalling, Real Player will not play offline. However, when accessing YouTube with IE, it plays the video without reinstalling. Computers are fun!

    You need to close all iexplore.exe processes; use the Task Manager's Processes tab.

  • 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

  • Solution center suddenly ask for enabling Adobe Flash player for internet explorer for scanning

    Solution center suddenly ask for enabling Adobe Flash player for internet explorer for scanning. However, flash player is installed and enabled, but HP Solution center keeps asking for enabling and doesn't let me scan.
    Any suggestion?

    Hello there! Welcome to the forums @yuvalyanai 
    I read about the issue you are having with scanning, as you are seeing a message to enable Adobe Flash player.
    To begin, I would like to know some more information:
    Which operating system you are running and which printer you are working with?
    How Do I Find My Model Number?
    Which Windows Operating System am I running?
    Can you make copies successfully?
    Can you print from your computer?
    Have you tried updated Adobe Flash player?
    Can you scan successfully from Microsoft Paint?
    How is your printer connected to your PC, wireless, ethernet or USB?
    In the meantime, try resetting the printer:
    Press the Power button to turn on the product.
    With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
    Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
    Wait at least 15 seconds.
    Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
    Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
    If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
    I hope to hear from you, have a wonderful weekend
