Cannot install flashplayer, windows explorer

I am having trouble downloading flashplayer. It won't get past the initialisation stage.
I am trying to download it in Windows Explorer, Version 7, 32 bit. I enabled script as the instructions have said, and again in Trusted Sites, however, it still is not allowing me to download.

Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by right clicking the following link and selecting "Save target as".
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Save it to yoru downloads folder or the desktop (your choice, but make sure it's somewhere you can find it).
Reboot your system.
BEFORE opening anything else, open the downloaded installer and run it.
IF it doesn't work, come back here and follow these instructions: Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer
and: ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer

I cannot install Flashplayer 10.2.152.32. I get the message that :The Active X for Flashplayer could not be registered. The problem started when I "stupidly" accepted the upgrade on Feb 18, 2011. It has not worked since. I have tried every suggestion including all the older suggestions on this community forum, without success. I am using ie8 xp2002 sp3. I am almost going to give up. Please help.

Hi Lee,
"You’re probably thinking this sounds like an administrator issue. However, I’m the only user and Windows 7 is registered to me – which should make me the only administrator."
You are correct but to a point. I thought so too, however, like you, I am "second in command"...under myself.
I was in the same situation and tried others' successful workarounds. Nope. Actually, an ongoing frustration for a few months to no avail...until I came across this link, http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-windows_programs/ this-installation-package-could-not-be-opened/40c3cf33-b155-4dc7-b21e-ca5acce105 f3. It shows you how to access the Administrator login, literally. It worked for me.
This is from a Microsoft support page (SJ has probably been alerted, so I don't have much time, LOL). I did not want to hit that "final" option and reinstall Win 7. The first time was trying enough and I was about to give in.
" I’ve scanned a Microsoft forum for iTunes download/installation problems. Most answers on the forum refer to a system32 error appearing when they attempt to install itunes64bit.exe on Vista or Windows 7."
I was opposite on this one. What led me to think it wasn't the above was seeing this user " ` " , also known as Accent grave. The Users first file is labeled " ` " and has a little gold lock on it. When I scanned Task Manager, under Processes Tab, the User Name column showed " ` " attached to certain processes. I knew it was me, but did not realize it was the Alpha me
I cannot say if the system automatically did this or I or Alpha (I'm blaming Alpha). If there is a way to change this I do not know, and if I should. Either way, I will do some more research and pray another personality isn't isn't lurking about
Hope this helps you.

Itunes 7.7 won't install. Windows Explorer message pops up. ???

Well, Itunes sure makes it frustrating to do business with them. I've tried installing the Itunes update so I can purchase music from the site, but after trying several suggestions, I got to the point where the upgrade install was taking place, then I received a new screen informing me that "the following applications are using files that need to be updated by this installer. Close these apps..." the apps in question is (Windows Explorer, process Id: 1412) However, I'm not using this app and don't know how to close it. I don't usually like to give up on something like this, so I sure could use some help if anyone out there has this problem and knows how to resolve it. Thanks, buddyg.

Hey there, Janelle,
thanks for your reply to my question. I did what you suggested and went to the task manager, and there I found the Windows Explorer system. But before I end the process, a screen comes up telling me that I will lose any unsaved data in that process, and also that it might result in an unstable system. What do you think? What are the risks, if any, in ending this process for Windows Explorer? What is an unstable system, anyway?
Thank you in advance, take care

Creative Cloud Desktop install crashes Windows Explorer and hangs

This all started with my inability to activate Adobe Acrobat on my computer after wiping the hard drive and reinstalling the OS.
I had no trouble initially downloading or installing anything from the Adobe Creative Cloud. I ran several apps and they worked (albeit in trial mode for a day or two)
And then the Initial Problem: Trying to Activate Adobe Acrobat failed to get pass the sign-in screen.
It would hang for about 30 minutes and then come back to the error that the computer's clock must be incorrect or an error with the Internet connection. (It's a standard error documented on Adobe's site that says you need to make sure your computer can really get to all of Adobe's activation servers/sites/etc. I double-checked everything in the troubleshooting list to be sure but found nothing wrong with the computer or the ability to get to Adobe's sites.
Exasperated. I went online for tech support. It was definately Level 1 support (had me checking all the stuff I had already spent an hour checking - and had already told him I tested it all).
Anyway, I spent an hour on the chat with Adobe Tech Support going through the usual stuff.
He had me check virus programs, computer clock, conenctions to Adobe sites (like the licensing servers). But nothing ever helped or worked. Then he told me to try going directly to the Adobe Creative Cloud site and trying to download and install the Creative Cloud desktop manager. I did that but it hangs when it launches the manager on the initial window with a black/grey Creative Cloud bar at the top (with the tool drop-down on the right side) but the rest of the window never loads.
After an hour of going in circles I decided it would be better to try again later with someone in second-level support.
In the meantime, I uninstalled ALL Adobe applications. There is no Flash-Player, no Acrobat Reader - nothing from Adobe in my programs list.
I then tried to download and install the Adobe Application Manager. It works up to the point where it launches the Creative Cloud Desktop tools and then hangs at the same place.
There is a Creative Cloud window with the normal black/grey bar at the top - but the rest of the window (where you would normally see and load the apps from) stays empty.
I have rebooted the computer several times to be sure it is a fresh start. That has not helped at all. One additional thing I have noticed in these multiple attempts is that when the Creative Cloud Desktop Manager installer gets about 95% done, it causes Windows Explorer to crash (not Internet Explorer but Windows Explorer). Once Windows Explorer resets, Creative Cloud continues the installation but then opens the window (above) that has nothing but the black/grey header.
I'm struggling for what to do next. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Right now I am paying $50 a month for something I can't even install or use.
For what it's worth, the system is an HP laptop running Windows 7 Ultimate x64. 8GB of RAM and plenty of HDD space. All security updates applied and Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1. I doubt that any of that last line is relevant since I could run all of this with no problem before wiping the hard drive AND it was all running with no problem - other than Activating Acrobat at the start of this whole issue.

Jim,
You are a lifesaver! I can't think of how many additional hours of frustration you just saved me - but Thank You!!
After posting, I had determined (like you said), that Explorer must be doing that for a reason. I created a new user profile on the system (added a user temporarily) and observed the same behavior of Windows Explorer (stopping/starting) but then continuing to work as it should. At that point I knew the answer was somewhere in the user's profile but I would have had no idea where to look. The opm.db file was indeed the culprit.
I sure do appreciate the excellent help.

Cannot install flashplayer!

aug 27
I cannot install adobe reader or flash player. C disk full. Trying to save to D disk. Error message says C full try saving somewhere else----but computer won't do it/ Also---cannot play DVD's in my laptop. Windows XP 2005 media ctr. Media ctr files seem to have disappeared!

First thing to do: clean up your C: drive, e.g. using CCleaner and/or moving some documents to another drive.
Flash Player installs into the Windows folder, so that cannot be anywhere else than the C: drive.
For Adobe Reader download the full installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ then specify the target installation location on the initial install panel.

Cannot Install iTunes Windows 8 after Uninstall

I have a Windows 8 machine with all the updates, and a couple months ago iTunes stopped updating. It was running, but it just would not update. I decided to re-install it, and now I get the error below. I have used Revo Uninstaller to remove every little bit of Apple iWare (including Quicktime and Bonjour), registry keys, and traces, but still cannot install it. Please help, I have searched for weeks through the internet and have tried everything I can trying fix this problem.

I close PDF file, but cannot rename in Windows Explorer -- file in use error

After viewing a file in Acropbat X Standard, I save and close the file (but leave Acrobat open).
If i try to rename the file in Windows Explorer, it fails and reports this error:
Cannot rename <filename>.pdf: The file is in use by the following program: Adobe Acrobat.
The only way to release the lock is to close Acrobat.
Any solutions? I frequently have several PDF files open at the same time and do not want to close the tool just to release one file lock.
Jim

Been having the same issue here with Acrobat X. Plus, often can't even delete the file after closing Acrobat entirely. It is Acrobat that will not release the file back to Windows.
Only thing that resolves this here, in order to be able to delete the file, is to log user off/on or reboot Windows. Crazy making.
Would be great if Adobe could patch this up. Acrobat X is an expensive program and would be a nice gesture to customers if they fix this.

Cannot install Flashplayer 11

Running Firefox 10.0 or Safari 6.0.3 with Mac OS X 10.7.5 on 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM I cannot install the latest version of FlashPlayer 11. Previous version of FlashPlayer has been uninstalled and the computer restarted. About 50% way through installation, get Error: General installation error.
Cookies enabled, pop ups not blocked.
Tried many times on both browsers with same results.
The prolem started because I was offered an upgrade for Flashplayer and I didn't have the latest version of FlashPlayer.

I cannot install FlashPlayer on windows 7 due to permission issues

Hi,
Really hoping someone an help with this. It has been going on now for 6 months or more. I have a PC - Windows 7 home premium edition and version 34.0.5 of firefox. Everytime I try to install the file it tells me I do not have permission to write a particular file to the drive. I am logged on as the admin and I am the only person who has ever used this computer. Any ideas on fixes.

Cannot install Flashplayer 11 in Windows 7 using either Chrome or Firefox

The installer goes all the way through the installation process, says to finish and then enjoy using flashplayer, but then the program is no where to be found.

That will show you how to disable ActiveX filtering, which screws up a lot of Flash content accessibility in IE. ActiveX controls are the Number 1 (top dog) reason I don't use IE at all for anything other than testing new webpages for compatibility. They're a "throwback" to 1993 (Windows 3.1) that, for some inconceivable reason, Microsoft REFUSES to let go of. NO other browser uses them anymore, and they haven't since Mozilla broke away from Netscape in 2001, and started using the Gecko Runtime Environment as an engine.

Palm Treo 700p Cannot install. Windows Vista looking for Drivers

Installed Palm software and synced on my Dell with no issues.
Went to install on 2nd PC with Windows Vista Home. Issues. Got new download for Vista 32 and downloaded off site.
Same error puts me in a circle. System finds new hardware. Looks to install driver. Can't find Drive on CD or Hardrive and so keeps in loop. Cannot finish 1st "sync" without driver so install does not complete.
Please advise:
Can I use the Palm device on two seperate PC's (One on NT running fine..now adding Vista Home).
How do I get the drive installed?
How do I be sure NOT to overwrite the data on the Palm when I sync the 1st time on the 2nd pc.
Thanks
Post relates to: Treo 700p (Verizon)

Hello jpmill2 and welcome to the Palm forums.
1. Please make sure that your Windows Vista account is a member of the Administrators group. I would also be sure to check that antivirus software is disabled during the install process.
2. You can use the Treo 700p with more than one computer. I sync my Treo with my office PC running Windows XP SP2 and my Vista Business SP1 machine at home. (And a Mac, just for good measure.)
3. The USB driver for the Treo 700p is obtained by installing Palm Desktop 4.2 (bundled on the Treo 700p software disc) or by installing Palm Desktop 6.2 by ACCESS for Windows [Vista]. You should install the software first, and then connect the Treo after the install is complete. If prompted to HotSync during the install, I aways Skip it.
4. If you Skip the HotSync during the Palm Desktop isntall, you can create a new HotSync ID on the computer with the same name as the HotSync ID on your Treo. Then set the conduits to Handheld overwrites Desktop and then sync.
Hope that helps,
Alan G

Cannot install clean Windows 7 64-bit to GPT partition

ASUS Maximus VII Formula
HGST 4TB Deskstar NAS, SATA 3 (6 Gb/s), 7200 RPM, 64 MB
Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC)
Windows 7 Pro 64-bit SP1
SW_DVD5_Win_Pro_7w_SP1_64BIT_English_-2_MLF_X17-59279.ISO
Procedure
On a Windows 7 Pro 32-bit BIOS laptop, I used Disk Management snapin to initialize the virgin 4TB disc to GPT. In Properties, it said it was a GPT disc. I then created a 1.0 TB partition with Quick Format unchecked (equivalent to DISKPART > clean)
so it would check for bad sectors.
I placed the 4TB disc into the ASUS Maximus VII Formula computer.
I made sure the UEFI BIOS was set to only use UEFI mode.
I booted into the Window 7 Pro 64-bit SP1 dvd.
During boot, ASUS screen said it was in UEFI mode.
Windows installer loaded properly.
On the Windows screen for selecting which partition to install the OS to, I selected the 1.0 TB partition. The following error occurred:
"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style."
Since the ASUS boot screen said I was in UEFI mode, why does it not let me install Windows to my 1 TB GPT partition?
I then deleted the 1.0 TB partition.
The partition was deleted leaving unallocated space.
I used NEW link to create a partition.
NEW did not work, it just left the unallocated space and did not create a partition.
Since the ASUS boot screen said I was in UEFI mode, why does it not create a GPT partition?
From the ASUS driver downloads page, I also tried loading the
"Intel_RAID_Win7-8-8-1_V13101058" 64-bit drivers during the installation process with no success.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
How about your problem now? Based on my knowledge, Windows 7 X64 system is support GPT disk, but Windows 7 X32 system not. According to your description, your disk should be already GPT, this problem probably caused by Windows installation disk problem or
motherboard UEFI boot settings mistake.
Therefore, please check these two points for test. If problem persists, in my opinion, it would be better to contact ASUS suppoort for further assistance with this problem.

Cannot install iTunes, Windows 7; error 7

I downloaded the last iTunes update and since then, have not been able to open iTunes. I have followed the instructions from the community posts about uninstalling iTunes and all the ancillary programs several times and still cannot open iTunes. Each time I reinstall, I get an error message about the Apple Mobile Device Support and the install stalls. I cannot get past it. If I hit ignore and let the install finish, I end up with error message iTunes not installed correctly, please reinstall Error 7.
I run Windows 7 on a Toshiba Satellite laptop. All of my Windows updates are current.
Please help. I can't back up my iPhone b/c my settings are for backup on computer. I cannot backup on cloud b/c of this. Because I cannot backup, I have updated my software on the phone yet.
In backup/upgrade limbo.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
