Downloading Flash Player 10.3 onto Vista 64 bit machine

I lost the ability to use flash player on my machine. I have attempted to download a new verion, but saw that it was not supported on Vista 64 bit. I attempted to download an older copy of 10.3 and copied the zipped files to my machine. The 10.3 plug-in successfully loaded, but the 10.3 ActiveX load produced an error 1722. "A problem with this Windows Installer Package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. location: ...\InstallAX.exe, com...."

The 64-bit Flash Player installer does not work with 64-bit Vista, use the 32-bit installer.

How to download flash player 11 on windows vista 64 bit ?

how to download flash player 11 on windows vista 64 bit ?

Just download it from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ - the installer will automatically install both 32-bit and 64-bit players on a 64-bit system.
[topic moved to Flash Player forum]

I've tried to download flash player several times onto my iMac, but still can't run any videos.

I have tried downloading and installing Flash Player on my iMac several times. It goes all the way through the finish screen, but I still can't view videos. I still get a flyout that says I need Flash Player. I cannot find Flah Player anywhere on my iMac. I have looked under Applications, Devices, Documents, and even Utilities. Nothing. I do find the installer program, but it only wants to uninstall a Flash Player program that doesn't exist. Any ideas as to what is going on?

You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
(If you are running Mavericks: After years of fighting malware and exploits facilitated through Adobe's Flash Player, the company is taking advantage of Apple's new App Sandbox feature to restrict malicious code from running outside of Safari in OS X Mavericks.)
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
You can also try these illustrated instructions from C F McBlob to perform a full "clean install", which will resolve the "Blocked Plug-in" message when trying to update via the GUI updater from Adobe.
Use the FULL installer for 12.0.0.44: Flash Player 12 (Mac OS X)
And the instructons are here: Snow Leopard Clean Install.pdf

Flash Player not working on Vista 64 Bit

I too am having extreme difficulty w/ installing the new flash player. At first I didn't know I had too. Two days ago I was watching a show on YouTube, and last night it said I needed to install the latest version.
Windows Vista Home Edition 64 Bit
Preferred browser Mozilla Foxfire / secondary browser Internet Explorer
I did all the uninstalls and removed files from the download directory.
I followed all instructions making sure I chose the appropriate download version for 64 bit.
Below is what I chose:
Adobe Flash Player 11.8.800.94 (16.9 MB)
Your system: Windows 64-bit , English, Firefox
Do you have a different operating system or browser?
I downloaded, saved and ran it. Made sure all Firefox windows were closed including weather network. Then it stated 'installation complete'.
I went to YouTube and then it said I had to install the Flash Player. I did this too. Still, nothing worked. I am somehow being forced to upgrade a perfectly good computer?
I hope this can be resolved. I read through everyones comments, tried them all and still nothing.

Surprise to me!!! It worked!!!
I decided to try for the 87th time and it finally worked. What I did was (incase someone else wants to try this) well, it worked for me ... thought I did this before ...
Uninstalled all flash players
Deleted all flash players from download directory
Deleted deleted items from garbage bin (you never know)
Re-started the PC
Went to YouTube and it prompted me to install a Flash Player - did this and guess what ... it worked! Only 5 hours in ...
Now, if I can just figure out how to properly use my new sewing machine hem foot and try to finish measuring (after 8 times) the duvet I am sewing then I will be well on my way!
They say it comes in three's. Had mine. Done !
Good luck everyone!

The following information would be useful:
- A direct link to the video / videos where you encountered the crash
- Your Operating System and Version
- Your Browser and Version
- The Version of Flash Player (right-click on Flash content, look in the context menu)
Do you see the crash in only your preferred browser, or all browsers. (The Flash Player for Firefox/Safari/Opera, Chrome and Internet Explorer are all significantly different. Isolating it to one or more browsers is useful in understanding the root cause.)
Have you tried the video troubleshooting guide? If so, please detail the steps you took and the results you saw. This is extremely useful in isolating a root-cause.
Video playback issues
If you're encountering the crash in Firefox, a direct link to the crash report would be extremely useful:
In the address bar, type about:crashes
You'll see a list of links with random letters and numbers
Click the first link. It will take you to a crash report page. Hit back, and the link will change to start with bp- and a new set of letters and numbers.
Right-click that link, and choose Copy Link Location.
Paste it into a reply here.
Repeat for the first few if you have multiple crashes.
Thanks!

Flash player 11 problem with vista 64-bit

Firefox browser 64-bit, I think
OS - Vista Home Premium - 64-bit
Adobe flash player 11 does not work with the 64-bit version of vista (it's a fact)
Can I download a 32-bit version of FP 11 on my 64 bit version of Vista?
Can I try loading a 32-bit version of firefox and then download the 32 bit version of FP11?
How do I get to a 32-bit version of firefox to download it?
How can I get to a previous version of flash player - 10.3?
What is wrong with Adobe that they make a flash player that will not work with Vista or XP 64-bit OS?
Most of the videos no longer play - just get a message that the video is no longer available - problem started when I downloaded FP 11

Try using the installers from the links in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/909550
P.S. topic moved to the Installation section of the forum.

Are there settings in firefow that will allow me to use adobe flash player 11 with my vista 64-bit os

Adobe flash player 11 does not work with 64-bit vista - is there a fix? it works with 64-bit windows 7. When I try to watch videos, I get the message 'this video is no longer available' - I cannot find access to previous versions

You already have Shockwave Flash 11.0 r1 installed according to your plugins list and it should work on Windows Vista. What do you see when you try the [http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ Flash Player test link]?
You said, ''I get the message 'this video is no longer available''' when you try to watch videos. Is that the complete message and do you see it for all videos you try to play, for example, at YouTube.com?
You also said that you ''cannot find access to previous versions.'' The [http://forums.adobe.com/community/flashplayer Adobe Flash Player forum] has links to Flash 10 for Windows, here:

Flash player installed on windows 8 (64 bit) machine NOT WORKING

I get this message IE not running on windows 8. Need Help

Have you run Windows Update to update Flash Player?
It can't be done through Adobe.
Also, worst case: Try Repairing IE

I am trying to download flash player 10.2 onto macbook osx 10.6.6 unsuccessfully??

Flashplayer says download successful but youtube will not play, I receive the message 'you need to download latest version......'????

Hi, You didn't mention what browser you are using. With Safari, make sure the Shockwave Flash plugin is Enabled in the browser. It seems when Safari has been updated, that plugin gets Disabled.

Adobe Flash Player - No Sound in Video - Internet Explorer Flash Player for Windows 8.1 (64-bit machine)

I have tried using volume on other video types, such as YouTube, and it works fine, but Flash volume on ads and other sites does not work. What is the Adobe-recommended solution to the problem? Thank you.

Hi, We could not reproduce the issue. Which Flash version are you using?

Why can't I download flash player onto my ipad

Why can't I download flash player onto my ipad

Because the iPad does not support Flash.
Use the pre installed YouTube app.

Frustrating attempts to open and download Flash Player.

Hi y'all. I have Windows Vista 64-bit OS and attempting to download Flash Player through Firefox. However, each time I make this attempt,
the "SAVE" box appears followed by the "DOWNLOAD" box that disappears after one second so that I cannot then Open or RUN the Player as requested.
This has happened repeatedly and attempts to do so have appeared on the download history (many of which I'v since erased). The trouble is, I don't know why. I have ceased operation of antivirus programs for this effort as well. What am I doing wrong?

I don't understand what is happening. Can you try to download the installer from the links in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/889580

Why Can't I Download Flash Player?

I have repeatedly tried to download Flash Player after getting pop-up messages from Adobe that tell me I cannot open attachments to emails because I need Flash Player 9.0 or higher. The messages say to download the latest Flash Player click here. I follow the instructions to the letter and get a message that the download of Flash Player 10 has successfully been completed. Then the next time I try to open an email attachment I get the same failure message. I have also gotten led to an Adobe tutorial entitled Flash Player | 64-bit operating systems which directs me to select the 32-bit Internet Explorer system on my computer by going to Start>Programs. I followed the download instructions using the 32-bit IE system and the download message says that Flash Player 10.0 has been successful. But I still cannot open the email attachments and still get the message that I need to download Flash Player 9.0 or higher. If I go to my complete list of programs on the Install or Remove Programs, I find a listing for several Adobe products such as Acrobat, ReaderX, Digital each of which has a size in bytes. Flash Player 10 is listed but there is nothing shown in the byte size column.
My computer is a Hewlett-Packard Pavilion with an Intel Pentium Dual CPU E2220 @ 2.40 GHz 64-bit operating system using Windows Vista Home Premium, Service Pack 2. The default browser which I use is Internet Explorer 64-bit.
I'm 80 years old and trying hard to get along with computers. Please know that any help provided on this frustrating problem will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. And please make your suggestions in great detail without assuming I know very much.

Hi James, Check and make sure the Shockwave Flash Object is Enabled in your IE manage addons.
In FF, look for the Shockwave Flash plugin and make sure it's Enabled.
Make sure you are using the 32bit browser and not the 64bit.
Also check this for IE: (you want this OFF, not on)
To turn on ActiveX Filtering
In Internet Explorer, click the Tools button, point to Safety, and then click ActiveX Filtering.
To turn off ActiveX Filtering on a specific website
In Internet Explorer, click the Filter button in the Address bar, and then click Turn off ActiveX Filtering.
To turn off ActiveX Filtering on all websites
In Internet Explorer, click the Tools button, point to Safety, and then click ActiveX Filtering.
I don't have time to check on why Chrome is not working. Make sure your Anti-Virus is not blocking.
Also when you are trying to Install, all browser windows must be Closed.
Will check back later, but it's best to start you own topic as Pat suggested and flutie has done.

Can not download flash player 10

Everytime i try to download Flash Player 10 on my computer a
pop-up says It can't authenticate(mind my spelling) installer. I
have no idea why it is doing this. if anyone can help please
help

Hi LeeEnix-
Why so many downloads? Couldn't get FP to work? IE and
Firefox (non-IE browsers) have different methods of
downloading/installing. I'm guessing you're XP or Vista. System
Restore should've given you back your previous (and hopefully
working) FP.
BUT, you need to uninstall before reinstalling, or it kinda
jams up on ya.
Flash uninstall Tool:
http://www.adobe.com/go/t_n14157
AV progs and IE security can both block the installation.
Check IE/Tools/Internet Options/Security. Reset your zones to the
default levels.

I AM UNABLE TO DOWNLOAD FLASH PLAYER 10.3. A TECH DOWNLOADED FLASH PLAYER 10 PLUG IN LAST WEEK.

DO I NEED BOTH? WHEN I TRIED TO WATCH A VIDEO ON MY E-MAIL I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO DOWNLOAD FLASH PLAYER. WHEN I TRY TO DOWNLOAD IT NOTHING HAPPENS. I HAVE WINDOWS VISTA AND I AM USING IE9 WHICH THE TECH ALSO DOWNLOADED FOR ME. SINCE MY CALL I GET A BOX WITH A SCRIPT ERROR ON NEARLY EVERY PAGE.

Hi, I am back and can see clearly. I have not experienced the error box while moving the pointer. I do have some examples for your review. I will start with what happens when I start a session. I click on IE and get the error box. I click on red "X". Comcast.net is my home page and the Tab is trying to take me there. The symbol showing that it is running is turning but will not connect. Next I click on the "X" on the address bar. This stops the TAB. Now I click on the Refresh and I get my home page without any error box.
Examples
1. The animalrescuesite.com
From e-mail. I am helping to provide food for animals and it doesn't cost me. If you are interested I encourage you to go to the site and sign up. You will get an email each day and it takes less than thirty seconds to do. When I open there is no error box. When I click on "click here" I get the error box. To close I click on the red "X". I then click on purple box "click here to give". No more error boxes backing out of the site.
From address bar there is no error box on page 2.
2. bestwestern.com
From e-mail. Same as example #1. no error box on page 1. When I click on "book now" I get error box. I click on red "X" and then no more error boxes while in the site. I clicked on each tab. Also no error boxes while backing out of site.
From address bar there is no error box on page 2.
3. Any e-mail with video link.
When I click on the link I get the error box. After I click on the red "X" the video starts.
I hope this helps. Also I wanted to get your take on me uninstalling the fire fox and when. I am ready to compose my e-mail to Adobe. Do you want to see it before I send it. You might offer an insight that I miss.
