Clarification on Flash Player 11 installation/removal

Hi,
I see that Flash Player 11 now has 32 and 64-bit versions for Windows. Is the bit version in reference to the OS or the Internet Browser you are using? For example, Sun Java also has 32/64-bit versions but they are in reference to the Internet Browser. So if you have Windows 64-bit installed, you would install both the 32 and 64-bit version of Java to cover both Internet Explorer bit versions. If we are running Windows 64-bit, does that mean we should install both 32 and 64-bit versions of Flash Player as I have illustrated in the Java example?
Also, is there a new uninstaller utility that supports this version? Where can that be downloaded? Does the uninstaller utility remove both the ActiveX and Plug-In versions?
Thanks,
Rob

It is indeed not clear from the existing documents. But here it is...
The 64-bit installer is for 64-bit operating systems, and it will install Flash Player for both 32-bit and 64-bit browsers.
The 32-bit installer is, of course, for 32-bit operating systems.
See the links in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/909550 for the uninstaller downloads.
The uninstallers will uninstall all installed FP versions.

Adobe Flash Player 12 installation error

I cannot install Adobe Flash Player 12. I go through all of the setting and just when I think it's about to finish I get the "General Installation Error" message.
I've trashed all the Flash Player folders in my library but it hasn't helped. Any suggestions?

Hi,
I am having the same issue.
This link is probably more useful though not in my case.
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-mac.ht ml
I too get the General Installation error and have followed the advice on the Adobe website.
"Close all browsers if an error message appears."
I have closed all browsers (force quit) but still get the "General Installation Error", interesting I also get update Garmin communicator.
I have 18GB free on my drive.
Any ideas what would cause the Mac Installation packages to fail?

Adobe Flash Player Update Installer

After dbl-click downloaded update file, Adobe Flash player installer DOS-like [i.e. black background] window appears - using Firefox in Windows 8 - then nothing happens
what to do ?

Download and run the offline installer from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header

Flash Player stops installation 50% of way

I have installed Chrome but Flashplayer 11 goes half way through the process and says I have to turn off Internet Explorer. I did the suggested steps as the help guide said but cannot get passed this 50% success mark. Enabled scripting(already enabled anyway) turned off pop up blocker. Java keeps bothering me to update. Is this the proplem?

Java is unrelated to Flash Player, but you should update it anyway (security fixes).
Try this: download the offline installer from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header and save to disk, then close all browser windows and run the downloaded installer.

How to automate Flash Player Debugger installs

Hello,
Everytime we push the latest version of Flash Player, Flash Player Debugger stops working and requires to upgrade. I am working on making this upgrade automated along with our Flash deployments.
I tested installing Flash Player Debugger on a test PC, I don't see it listed inAdd/Remove programs wizard. When I go to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ page, it reports I have the Flash player but when I go to http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/192/tn_19245.html page, it says I have the Content Debugger ActiveX Player. It's unclear if both of these versions would co-exist.
Importantly, I wanted to know what all the Adobe packages/suits that get the Adobe Flash Player Debugger version bundled in. From http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/192/tn_19245.html it seems Flex distribution will have Adobe Flash Player Debugger version bundled.

Hi,
Since Microsoft embeds Flash Player in Internet Explorer on Wndows 8.x/10, the standalone uninstaller does not work to remove the ActiveX control on Windows 8.x/10 (it does uninstall the NPAPI and PPAPI plugins.) Instructions for uninstalling the debugger on Windows 8.x are posted at Adobe Flash Player - Downloads which is the same page that contains the links for the Windows 8.x debugger installers. Instructions for uninstalling are directly below the links for the debuggers.
Since Microsoft embeds Flash Player on Windows 8.x/10 they lock the files to prevent users from uninstalling it as it is an integrated component of IE. Since you have manually unregistered ActiveX components you may have performed irreparable damage to the file system, which is beyond the scope of this Flash Player installer forums. This could by why you're getting the message that the update does not apply to you, however, that's difficult to ascertain at this point. I'd start with running Windows Update and see if it includes an update for "Update for Internet Explorer Flash Player for Windows 8.x". If it's not there you may need to install other updates before the "Update for Internet Explorer Flash Player for Windows 8.x" update shows up. If it doesn't show up at all you'll need to contact Microsoft for their assistance.

Flash Player .MSI installation Windows 7 64bit Permissions Issue

I have published the latest Flash Player MSI to my Companies Active Directory, I have enabled users to install applications that are controlled by the windows Installer "Always Allow Application Installation" GPO setting in Computer and User.
I have not had any issues with other published applications such as Chrome, Firefox.
Both of the MSI files (Plugin and IE) versions both kick back with insufficient privelages.
Downloaded from: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
What I have tried (failed results):
run the installer as a domain admin
run as locally created admin
run in elevated mode
Removed all UAC Settings
Suggestions?

Many thanks for this! I managed to install the Flash Player with this successfully after many failed attempts before.
Thanks again

Flash player only installs the installer as a device on my Mac.

I have tried repeatedly to install the Adobe Flash Player onto my Mac OS X system. It goes through the entire process as described on line, but it only installs the Flash Player Installer as a device. It is a never ending cycle of instillation. The program never shows up as an application. Therefore there is never a Flash Player to be recognized when I try to open something that requires the Flash player. How do I fix it?

The "device" is a disk image (DMG). It's a "virtual" disk that behaves like a CD-ROM. It should appear as a removable disk on your desktop, like a Flash Drive. If you double click it, you should see the installer, a red "box" with the Flash Player icon on the front side. Double click that and it wil install.

Flash Player 16 Installer opens but won't run on 64 bit Wdws 7 and IE 11

I have Flash Player ActiveX Ver. 15.0.0.246 installed on my Dell Inspiron N7010 (Intel Core i3 processor) laptop, running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS with Service Pack 1, 6 GB of RAM, and using Internet Explorer Ver. 11.0, 32-bit browser. Flash Player notified me that it was time to update to Flash Player Ver 16.0, and took me to the website to download the installer. I first disabled my anti-virus (ESET NOD32 Ver 8.0.) and malware (Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Ver 2.0.4) software, and then clicked the 'Install' button on the website. After I gave my security software permission to let it run, it opened the blank black installer window (labeled "Adobe Flash Player Installer"). Nothing happened after that. No indications that anything was happening appeared in either the Adobe website window or the installer window. (The Adobe website window had advanced to "Step 2 of 3.") I gave it 10 or 15 minutes, then clicked the red "X" button in the upper right corner of the window to close it, but the installer window would not close. I had to use the Windows Task Manager to shut it down. I tried rebooting and re-attempting several times, but never was able to get the installer to run.
The installer ran fine on my other computer, which has the same configuration / version nos. of OS, IE, AV, A-Malware, and Flash Player, and I was able to successfully upgrade it to FP 16.0.
I have noticed that several others on this forum are having this problem, but with other combinations of OS and browsers, and I did not find a definitive solution for this problem that appeared to be applicable to my combination of software (defined above). If anyone with this combination of software has solved this problem, would you please be kind enough to provide a step-by-step description of the solution, on this forum, in layman's terms, and provide screen shots where little-known Windows, IE, or Flash Player steps / processes / menu choices are involved.
Thanks,
Spaceadventurer

FlexUnit CI - Flash Player linux installation

I am now attempting to do some CI testing with the FlexUnit Ant task on the Linux platform, specifically RHEL 6 (x64). I am finding the installation of the Linux debug stand-alone player not as straight-forward as I had hoped. I finally found using google that additional packages are required:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/153/tn_15380.html
http://install-manual.blogspot.com/2011/01/run-linux-flash-player-projector-in.html
That is fine (even though the blog post lists a different set of packages than Adobe does). I am wondering about the "bitness" of the sa linux player package: is it 32-bit or 64 bit? I am wondering if I should be installing 32 bit versions of the dependent packages, or using the 64 bit ones that I presume the package manager is going to find.
Also, a colleague told me that he thought the Flash player was 32 bit and that it had to be used in conjunction with 32 bit Java on Linux. Could anyone comment on this?
Thanks,
Trevor

I just found this post in the "More Like This" column to the right. Strange that my search of the forum did not show that thread earlier. Anyway, good Mr. Legros gives some advice that I found helpful: the stand-alone flash player is only available in a 32-bit version. But it can be made to work on a 64-bit Linux server. I just got it working this morning. Both 64-bit and also some 32-bit dependencies must be installed.
On a 64-bit OS like RHEL 6, simply using "yum install <package>" will install the 64-bit version of the package. e.g.
yum install libcurl
To get the 32-bit version, use:
yum install libcurl.i686
I grabbed the latest 10.3 Linux projector sa player from the Adobe site, version 10.3.183.11.
On RHEL 6, here is the list of packages I installed per the Adobe Linux readme (note some were already installed and did not need to be updated). All of these are x64:
libdl.so.2
libpthread.so.0
libX11.so.6
libXext.so.6
libXt.so.6
* libfreetype.so.6 This was listed, but due to a dependency problem, I did not install
libfontconfig.so.1
libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
libgobject-2.0.so.0
libglib-2.0.so.0
libm.so.6
libc.so.6
libnss3
cURL
Then I checked this helpful blog post and installed the following additional modules (32-bit):
libcurl.i686
libcurl-devel.i686
There were more modules listed, but I only installed these... (the less changes to a system, the better).
Ok, at this point, I could run the "flashplayerdebug" executable and launch the GUI window, but I was seeing this warning in the console: (flashplayerdebugger:17237): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "clearlooks". To get rid of this, I also installed:
gtk2-engines.i686
After all the above the player opens fine with no warnings, though I have not ran any SWFs yet. When I close the GUI window, however, I do see a warning and a critical error:
(flashplayerdebugger:19650): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: instance with invalid (NULL) class pointer
(flashplayerdebugger:19650): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_signal_handlers_disconnect_matched: assertion `G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed
This seems to be a bug in the player itself. I just hope it does not cause me any issues.
I hope this is helpful to someone else. I know it will be helpful to me the next time I have to install the player on Linux!
Regards,
Trevor

Flash Player 11 installer started but the installation dialog was not shown

I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and did not have any firewall software installed.
Task Manager showed that the installer “install_flash_player_ax_64bit.exe” was running but the installation dialog did not show. After about a minute, the installer itself closed automatically.
I have tried the following tasks but were of no avail:
(1) Uninstalled previous version via “Control Panel” -> “Programs and Features” and deleted folders named with “Macromed” and “Flash Player”
(2) Uninstalled Acrobat
(3) Reset Internet Explorer settings
(4) Cleaned up everything left behind the Windows temporary folders
This problem also occurred when I tried to install Acrobat Reader X.
Please advise if I missed anything before a fresh installation, or whether there’s a necessity to reinstall my PC so as to get the installer works again.
Thank you very much in advance.

I could install Flash Player 11 successfully using the offline installer.
However, I have no idea about why the online installer of Flash Player and Reader do not work at all - started in the background and closes automatically after about a minute

Adobe Flash Player 9: Installation Problem

I am using MAC OS X 10.3.9. I just downloaded Adobe Flash Player 9.
Instead of step 4 onwards as in the Installation Instructions, i get two files:
-flash player.plugin
-flashplayer.xpt
How do i proceed with the installation?
Thanks
Herman

Hi Herman,
I can't help you I'm afraid!
I have exactly the same problem! I've tried downloading Flash Player 9 several times and I always get the same two files - flash player.plugin and flashplayer.xpt. There's no installer (nothing that looks like the file shown in Adobe's 'installation instructions') so I don't know what to do with the files. I've read somewhere that more than one copy of Flash Player installed can cause glitches so I ran Adobe's Flash Player Uninstaller and then downloaded Flash Player 9 again. But still the same two files arrived!
Is there someone out there who can help please..? I'm absolutely baffled!
Thanks in advance... and fingers crossed x !
