Hi Pat Willener,
Let me tell you what I have done before i get to clean install of flash player.
1. I have Unstalled Flash player 10 from control Panel -> Program and Features.
2. Then I have done these steps
Delete all remaining files and folders located in the following directories.  (tip: copy and paste these paths into the path bar in an Explorer window)
C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash (if it exists)
%appdata%\Adobe\Flash Player
%appdata%\Macromedia\Flash Player
Verify that the file “FlashPlayerCPLApp.cpl” in C:\Window\system32\ for 32 bit systems or C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ if you are using a 64 bit system, has been deleted
Download and run the offline installers
for Internet Explorer
for other browsers
Even then I have the same problem again.
At first I did not go for Uninstaller 32-bit because I have done it through Program and Features even then problem exists. So I thought of going clean install process, and it seems Uninstaller is doing nothing......I am attaching a picture of it.... Please I am not sure what I was missing or what is my mistake in here.
I have Norton 360 antivirus s/w.
Please help me out.
Thanks
Kiran

  • Network error during flash player installation

    I accidentally deleted the previous version of flash player and am now trying to download the new version. Can anyone help me with a 'network error' I am getting during installation on internet explorer 8.  There is no problem with the network as I am working on the internet with no other problems.   According to IE8, it has a cipher speed of 128-bit.  I have tried the following:
    - turning off anti-virus software
    - changing security settings as per a previous post
    - manually installing (could not download the file)
    - running the uninstall software even though no other version is showing on my list of applications - could not access the .exe file
    - using a different web browser.  The problem was worse in the case of Opera and Firefox as the download did not start at all in those cases
    This is very frustrating and does not seem to be a common problem.  Can anyone help me?

    Hi, Download and SAVE the Uninstaller to your Desktop:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html 
    Download and SAVE the Installer for IE to your Desktop ( Use the EXE Installer)
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
    Download and SAVE the Installer for the non-IE browsers to your Desktop from the same link as IE (Use the EXE Installer)
    Close all browser windows, disable any messenger services in your system tray(area near the clock)
    If you use Norton or McAfee, disable them also.
    Be sure to use the Administrator Account.
    Then RUN the Uninstaller and when finished, Reboot(restart) your computer.
    Then RUN the Installer for IE, then the Installer for the non-IE, then Reboot.
    Test here when finished: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ 
    If you have any questions, provide your OS and browser versions of the non-IE ones when replying back.
    Thanks,

  • Adobe flash player installer screen won't close

    I was going to install it and found it was going to install Google chrome, and I didn't want that. So, I cancelled it and now I can't get the installer screen off my computer! Any help?

    Reboot.
    Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by clicking one of the following links.

    Nothing in those but the Flash Player plugin.

  • Cannot download and install Flash Player tried numerous times and it says installed

    Adobe Flash Player / Version: 11.9.900.117
    Laptop running Windows 32-bit XP / English M.S.I.E.

    Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by right clicking the following link: Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer) and selecting "Save target as".
    Save it to your Downloads folder - DO NOT run it yet.
    Reboot your system.
    BEFORE opening anything else, go to your Downloads folder and run the installer.
    If IE still gives you trouble, see: Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer  and ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer  to be sure it's enabled and ActiveX isn't blocking content.

  • Problems downloading and installing Flash Player on Windows 7.

    I have windows 7 and when i went to update my current version of Adobe Flash Player i would go to the page and only a few things would show up.  For example: It would say to press the Install Now button to go ahead with the download but that button would never show up.  So i uninstalled the flash player all together.  Then when i went to this page the Install Now button would show up.  So i would go along with the instructions of selecting yes on both prompts for the download.  And when i hit yes the second time nothing happens.  I went through some troubleshooting with my internet options and my Active X controls.  I'm not sure what to do at this point.

  • Flash Player Installer for Mac OS X Yosemite is broken

    I've tried this on 3 different OS X Machines, all running with Yosemite and Safari. I've downloaded the new Flash Player Installer, and attempt to install, but the installer gets stuck at the "downloading" phase, at either 25 or 30% downloading, and will not complete the download or the installation. I've never had this problem before. It seems that the installer / downloader is broken.

    This morning we resolved a problem that prevented Flash Player installations from completing for some of our Macintosh users.
    If you encountered this problem, please delete any previously downloaded Flash Player installer and either:
    1.)      Download the installer again from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
    2.)      Download the stand-alone installer from  http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg

  • Flash Player installation does not complete

    Help! I am at my wits' end! Windows 9, 32-bit. I have uninstalled older versions of Flash Player and appear to be downloading it but after several hours' waiting, am still on 'Step 2' of the download. Task Manager suggests install_flashplayer is a process but never completes. Have followed instructions on Adobe website, security to Medium, ActiveX Filtering off etc. Any ideas gratefully received.

    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 the file to your downloads folder or desktop, wherever you can find it - DO NOT run it yet.
    Reboot your system - a hard reboot - shut it down, waith 30 seconds and then restart it.
    BEFORE opening anything else, locate the downloaded installer and run it.

  • Question about Flash Player Installer

    I downloaded the Adobe Flash Player installer on my Mac -- OS Mavericks.  The installer will not accept my password to install the update.  Gives the message "changed password"  I went to Adobe and changed my password, but the installer still will not accept the password or begin the installation.

    Hi Jean,
    The password being requested is not your AdobeID password.  This is your computer's password, what you use to log into your account.  Please see What userid & password do I need to install Flash Player? for more information.

  • Flash Player Installer downloads from the Adobe distribution site as a generic file without an extension and the file won't open.

    Hi, everyone.
    When I download Flash Player Installer from the Adobe distribution site Adobe Flash Player Distribution | Adobe the file downloads to my hard drive as a generic file with no extension, and Windows can't determine which program to use in order to open/play the file. I am using Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
    Is there something wrong with the downloaded file? Or am I missing required software?
    Thank you for your time,
    -Brandon

    Yes, I've never had a problem before. I've even downloaded the Flash Player Install files from the Adobe distribution site on multiple occasions in the past without issue. The only thing I could think of is that perhaps the ".exe" extension was left off to avoid triggering security measures on a computer or private network that would prevent the download.
    Anyway, it worked after I added the ".exe" extension to the filename, so I have no complaints!

  • Flash Player installation and update questions and answers

    How do I verify that I have the latest version of Flash Player?
    If you receive a message that tells you that Flash Player is out of date or a new version of Flash Player is available, you can verify this by visiting the Flash Player Help page with your browser.
    Simply click the "Check Now" button and you'll be presented with a short message and detailed information regarding your Flash Player installation.
    Where should I download the latest version of Flash Player?
    Because malware authors will often employ misleading tactics to make malware look like something you should trust, it's important to get your Flash Player updates directly from Adobe.
    Please verify that your Flash Player downloads and updates come from only the adobe.com or macromedia.com domains.  You can always download the latest version of Flash Player directly from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
    I've selected the automatic update option in Flash Player, why do I continue to get update notifications?
    Periodically, users are presented with the Flash Player update dialog notifying them that a new version of Flash Player is available for download from adobe.com.
    The automatic update mechanism is used for some updates, security patches that address zero-day vulnerabilities and when users, who have selected to be updated automatically, have not updated within 45 days after a regularly scheduled update release of Flash Player.
    What should I expect when I receive notification that Flash Player has an update available?
    When a major update to Flash Player becomes available you will be presented with a Flash Player update dialog
    After reviewing new features, pressing the Download button will open your default browser and load the Install Adobe Flash Player page.
    Clicking the "Update now" or "Install Now" button will then take you to the next page which will start the download process and give instructions for completing the Flash Player install.
    Finally, once the installation is complete your browser will display a page confirming a successful installation.
    If you encounter installation problems, we recommend you review our Windows and Mac OS installation help documents. Further questions and information can be found on the Flash Player installation forums.
    Why does Adobe Flash Player installer include the option to download additional software?
    Adobe offsets the ongoing development costs of Flash Player, which is made available for free, by offering users the option to download select software from Adobe partners.
    What options do I have when installing or updating Flash Player?
    You have a few different options available when updating Flash Player. We recommend that you choose "Allow Adobe to install updates (recommended)" when initially setting up Flash Player
    or by going into the Flash Player control panel and choosing this option in the Advanced tab.
    Once selected, most updates will occur in the background without requiring any interaction. For those regularly scheduled major update releases, you will be presented with an update notification dialog
    If you decide not to update, you will receive an automatic update within 45 days if you have the "Allow Adobe to install updates" option selected. Please note that when this update occurs, only Flash Player will be installed.
    If you want to be notified about every Flash Player update, select "Notify me to install updates" when initially installing Flash Player or from the Advanced tab in the Flash Player control panel.
    Finally, if you'd prefer not to receive any updates, select "Never check for updates (not recommended)". We do not recommend this option as we believe keeping your system up to date improves both security and stability when using Flash Player.
    For network Administrators we offer additional update options, including the ability to host your own internal Flash Player update server. Please see our Flash Player distribution page and Flash Player Administrator guide for details.

    Sunil, I just want to verify you are pointing me to the link under "Progress bar hangs during download / Unable to connect to server / Unable to download metafile."
    If yes, then that is the file I originally downloaded based on a March post I saw here.
    I just tried it again, and it (by "it" I mean the Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers from download.macromedia.com) installed 11.6.
    After the installation process completed, the dialog box notified me it was version 11.6, and when I went back to, the "find version" page, 11.6 was confirmed.
    I did not download the exe for Internet Explorer, as I almost never use that browser.

  • Latest flash player installation fails in IE8/Win XP

    I have been trying to install the latest version of the Flash Player on my XP system for two days. Here's my system info:
    Win = 32-bit Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 3
    Browser = Internet Explorer Version 8.0.6001.18702
    Flash Player - the one I was using (recent but not a beta) was uninstalled when I tried to install your latest version at your site in the usual way. After a couple of attempts to install, I downloaded and ran the player uninstaller according the instructions found on your site - Adobe® Flash® Player Installer/Uninstaller 10.1 r53 - just to make sure I was doing a clean install. I also downloaded the latest version and ran it manually.
    All attempts to install have failed. I've seen two different installers, BTW, and they both reported failure but a reason and suggested your troubleshooting page.
    I went to the troubleshooting page, where I tried everything, by the book.
    Most recent attempts produced the following message when attempting to install from your site:
    "The version of adobe flash player active x that you are trying to install is not the most current version. Please visit http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer to obtain the latest, most secure version."
    I went to that page, again without success. There are no Flash active x components listed in my browser objects.
    I was able to install the latest version of Shockwave player (I tried, just to see if that would fail, but that was successful.)
    I should add that I do some web work using Flash 8, so that is also on my system, but I have never run into a problem installing a newer Flash Player until now. (And I have been using Flash since before Macromedia, when it was called FutureSplash.)
    Obviously, HELP!

    This one nearly did me in. Countless uninstalls/installs, headstands, etc. later, I finally found a solution that worked for me:

    I hope this works for you, too!!
    A damaged Windows system registry or incorrect registry permissions settings may prevent you from installing Flash Player.
    Symptoms may include:
    During installation, you see the error message "Failed to install. For Troubleshooting please see: http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_19166."
    Your Flash Player installation finishes with no error, but you cannot view Flash content in Internet Explorer.
    Some sites tell you that you do not have the correct version of Flash Player, even though you have installed the latest version.
    Some sites tell you to reinstall Flash Player, but after you do so, you see the same message.
    Permissions can be tricky, but in most cases, you can install and use Adobe Flash Player if you are logged into a Windows Administrator account. If you don't know how to do this, check with your system administrator, or read your Windows documentation.
    System administrators
    If you are a system administrator, see Registry permissions required for Flash Player install or update (TechNote tn_19148).
    Solution
    Warning! By following the directions below, you will modify the Windows System Registry. A mistake could cause serious system damage, which may require you to reinstall your operating system.
    If you are not comfortable editing the registry, get help from your system administrator or another IT professional.
    If you choose to proceed, first back up your entire hard drive, and create a Windows System Restore Point.
    Adobe Systems cannot be held responsible for damage resulting from your following these instructions.
    Make sure you are logged into a Windows Administrator account. If you are not, you will not be able to use SubInACL.
    Download SubInACL from the Microsoft Download Center.
    Follow the installation instructions. Make sure you install SubInACL (subinacl.exe) to the directory C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools.
    Download the reset_fp10.zip file.
    Open the fp10.zip file and extract the reset_fp10.cmd file to the directory C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\. Note that that both this file and SubInACL (subinacl.exe) must be in this directory.
    Double-click reset_fp10.cmd. A command window will open, and SubInACL will run.
    Do not use the machine while SubInACL is running.
    After SubInACL finishes, you will see a prompt "Press any key to continue".
    Install Flash Player from the Flash Player download page.
    To confirm that your installation succeeded, visit the About Flash Player page. At the top of the screen, you should see a message that reads "Adobe Flash Player Successfully Installed."
