  • Problem installing Flash Player-says to close Internet Explorer, but it's already closed

    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Flash Player, and have checked that it is installed and enabled, but still the application that requires Flash Player asks for it to be installed.  When I try to install it again, it says to close Internet Explorer and retry, which I do, but to no avail.  Any ideas would be much appreciated!

    Empty?  Did you click on the Processes tab?
    Try the following: download the offline installer from http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header and save it to disk.  Restart Windows, then before doing anything else, run the downloaded installer.

  • Close Internet Explorer message

    I have attempted this download a dozen times.... keep getting the Close internet Explorer at th 50% installation mark..... I have attempted all the fixes mentioned on this site:  close Internet Explorer by ending the process..... saving the file to download file and rebooting..... nothing works....Extremely frustrated.... an 800 number would be nice...... Instead of signing up, giving email address, typing my question/message twice...... and who knows if a resolution will be given................

  • Close internet explorer message first when installing CS3 from disk.

    When I attempt to install CS3 from my disk onto my new computer (with Windows 8) I keep getting an error message to close Internet Explorer first.  It is already closed.  What can I do?

    1.  restart your computer, then install.
    2.  you may need to use compatibility mode to install.
    3.  you may need to right click the setup file and click "run as administrator".

  • Close Internet Explorer (Failed Download)

    I have tried multiple times to install Adobe Flash Player. The program initializes and I allow it. When trying to download it asks me to close Internet Explorer. After closing Internet Explorer, I hit Retry, but the same messages re-appears. I don't understand why I keep getting that message after I've already exited out of Internet Explorer... the program will not let me continue.

  • Error: close Internet Explorer to continue

    I keep getting an error message that I must close Internet Explorer to continue but it is already closed, even the Task Manager says so. I have tried at least a dozen times this week.

    Did you use the Processes tab in the Task Manager?

  • Close Internet Explorer Error message

    I am attempting to upgrade my adobe flash player and the error message "close Internet explorer" keeps popping up.  I have IE closed down and yet it still stalls at 50% with the same message. Any idea how to navigate this problem?

    Check if you have any process named iexplore.exe running in background from task manager. You can reboot the machine and check again.

  • How to close Internet Explorer from webforms?

    How can i close internet explorer when i click on the exit button in my form? when i click the exit button (exit_form working behind the scenes) the forms closes but leaves a blank applet window of IE behind, how can i incorporate closing IE from the exit button?

    Create a file called close.html
    Add in some java script to close a window
    e.g.
    window.close
    //This is not the exact code but its roughly like this.
    Then in your POST_FORM trigger call web.show_document("close.html").

  • How to close Internet Explorer and other programs running on Windows?

    In order for Flash Player to be installed or updated, any programs that use Flash Player must be closed.  This includes Internet Explorer or other browsers, instant messengers, Skype, etc.
    These programs may be running in the background, not as visible windows, but need to be closed anyway.
    To close such programs use the Windows Task Manager.  To start Task Manager, take any of the following actions:
    Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, and then click Task Manager.
    Press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC.
    Right-click an empty area of the taskbar, and then click Task Manager.
    Once the Task Manager is running, select the Processes tab.  On older Windows version you may need to click on the Process Name or Image Name header to sort the process names.
    Now right-click on every process that the Flash Player installer needs to close (e.g. iexplore.exe), then select End Process.
    It would be desirable if the Flash Player installer could perform that action by itself; I have therefore created an enhancement request.  If you were affected by this problem, please head over to the Bugbase and vote for this request: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3548136
