Error "actionlist not found" when installing adobe flash player update

in trying to update adobe flash player i get error "action list not found"I have win XP 32 bit. Have removed old version from my computer before downloading newer version, still will not load.

You should by now be using Firefox 11. (You may well have updated since you posted this question).
Possibly you have tried to download and install the FlashPlayer version intended for Internet Explorer, instead of the plugin for Firefox. (See related thread [/questions/859758#answer-228076] ''When trying to update Adobe Flash Player, message says no ActionList found.'' )
Others may also note there is or was problem with some Flash Upgrades not being detected , but should start a new thread of your own if you have problems. See article [[Yahoo! and at&t mail say your browser is blocking Flash]]

  • I receive the message "Error:  Failed to register" when installing Adobe Flash Player 11.5.502.135 o

    I receive the message "Error:  Failed to register" at the end of attempting to reinstall Adobe Flash Player 11.5.502.135 (after a complete uninstall of all Adobe programs) on my older machine running Windows XP and the older browser IE 7.    I have tried the offline download installer and my Google Chrome browser setting is "allow all sites to run Java".  I allowed the program to run from my AVG firewall dialog box.  Windows firewall did not ask.  I am logged in as administrator.  What should I do because some programs prompt me for this install in order for some functions to work correctly.

  • I can't download/install Adobe Flash Player update version 11.7.700.169.

    I have tried several times to download and install Adobe Flash Player update version 11.7.700.169 without success. My OS is Windows XP with SP3 and my web browser is Internet Explorer. My current Adobe Flash Player version is 11.6.602.180. In the Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player IE window I unchecked the checkbox "Yes, install Chrome as my default browser and Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer - optional"  and clicked [UpdateNow]. Then I followed the installation instuctions. When I tried to run the installer I got an Internet Explorer Script Error dialog box.
    I then clicked yes on the Scrippt Error dialog box and it closed. The new version did not install. I still have the old version.
    What am I doing wrong?

    Download and run the offline installer(s) from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header (under the heading Progress bar hangs...).

  • Installing Adobe Flash Player Update 10.3

    This is my fist time here. I have a HP Pavilion Windows XP computer. My access to the  Internet is only through the latest version of Mozilla Firefox.
    When I try to play a video connected to a news story, etc, I get this small box asking if I  want to install Adobe Flash Player Update 10.3. When. I click on yes, I get another box saying I have to close Mozilla Firefox. Well if I close that, I have no Internet connection. Sort of Catch 22. Don't know why Adobe wants me to close my Internet connectiion and then to try to install its software. Not doable as far as I know.
    Are recommendations for dealing/resolving this situation?

    You're posting to the wrong forum. This forum is about Acrobat on the
    Windows platform, not about Flash.
    However, usually the internet connection is not dependent on the browser.
    You have an internet connection and you just use the browser to access the
    internet, so there shouldn't be a problem downloading and installing Adobe
    Flash even with Firefox closed.

    With your phone (Symbian/S60), Adobe Flash Lite is updated with a firmware update only. I am not aware of a solution to update it yourself separately. Which webpages do fail for you exactly: Did you ask their each of their maintainers for a workaround already?

  • Error code 1605 when installing Adobe Flash Player 11 ActiveX 11.9.900.152

    Hi there everyone, this is my first post over here.
    I have looked everywhere and can't seem to find a 1605 error code linked with Adobe Flash.
    I'm working on a project to fix Adobe Flash installation failures. The current error i'm stuck on is 1605
    The installs and uninstalls are already packaged, i only have around 5 failures so far, we have many successful installtions so I know the package isn't corrupt.
    Here is the installation log file

    I see a differen't product code getting removed on other machines and that's prob because they had a different version of flash installed.
    I was however able to install adobe flash versions 11.8 and below successfully, it's just versions 11.9 that fail.
    Any advice will be greately appreciated, thanks

    Hey the cleanup method didn't work.
    However, i could  get the latest flash installed without the package, for some reason it keeps failing with the package. Version 11.8 and  under installs with the package.
    I know the package works because we've used the same package for thousands of other machines and they've worked.
    This is an interestin issue

  • Frequent Fails when installing Adobe Flash Player (Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8.0, and Windows 8.1)

    Constantly see the following error message from Adobe Flash Player Installer:
    Error has been encountered. Close this window and try downloading again.
    What in heck does that error message mean?
    This message occurs most of the time when I try to update to the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.
    It would be one thing if it was only occurring on Windows XP, but it shows up on Windows 7, Windows 8.0, and Windows 8.1 frequently.
    Just for curiousity looked at the Windows 8.1 Event Viewer and NO error message shows up there.
    Would be nice to:
    (1) know what the error really is so that it can be reported to you to get it fixed once and for all.
    (2) have Adobe Flash Installer NOT to delete itself every time that the installer is run.
    (3) have an OFFLINE download installer to download and install Adobe Flash Player without the MacAfee installer.
    (4) have Adobe UNCHECK that the Install MacAfee installer that you have to opt out of each time you do an Adobe Flash Player download. You should make it to OPT IN not OPT OUT! Don't need another program installed without my permission. This causes issues when I have to uninstall MacAfee on computers that others in my family use.
    It seems to takes up to 20 times to download the Adobe installer over a period of many days or weeks to get it to install properly.
    I have written software for over 36 years as a computer programmer and now Senior Software Developer. I have do installers on my own and have to figure out how to solve my own issues on the installers to get them fixed.
    This issue doesn't seem to be tied to any particular version of Windows... Same issue occurs on Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8.0, and Windows 8.1! The ONLY commonality seems to be Adobe Flash Player.
    Certainly Adobe should be smart enough to fix this issue once and for all.
    If the issue is that there is a network congestion error that it cannot download the installer, please say so and please please please DO NOT delete the downloaded installer every time that it is run on a PC.
    I'd like to fix the security issues with the Adobe Flash Player AS SOON as there is a patch for it. I don't like having security issues over a long period of time.
    Please address this issue so that I can put this to bed and not have to keep sending you messages that once again the Adobe Flash Player Installer is yet again broken!
    Certainly you have a staff at Adobe that CAN fix this problem quickly!

    more information about errors can be found in the FlashInstall.log file in C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash (and the SysWOW64 equivalent on 64-bit systems)
    the offline installers (below) do not delete themselves
    you can find the offline installers
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    the offline installers are not bundled with any 3rd-party crapware

  • How do I install adobe flash player update

    I've downloaded  the adobe flash player update. It says thank you, here are some more products I might like, such as photo shop etc. I don't want them.
    But I still can't play videos on youtube etc.

    First uninstall all previous versions of flash player by using Flash Player Uninstaller then install Adobe Flash Player Software.

  • Error 1722 when installing Adobe Flash Player 10.1 (Active X MSI)

    Hi,
    I'm experiencing an issue with installing the latest Adobe Flash 10.1 (ActiveX MSI) on Windows XP.
    It's coming up with error code 1722 stating...
    "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action NewCustomAction1, location: ...\InstallAX.exe, com..."
    I've tried many things such as SubInACL resets, ISScript 11 installer, adobe uninstallers, manually register ocx files, using the local administrator account, changing Internet Explorer Security settings, running Proc Mon to identify the issue - to no avail -, downloading the MSI file again, running the EXE file, but I can't seem to install the player.
    The real scary side to this is that it seems to me that it's too unstable for me to deploy it across the entire corporate network due to using these fixes to have the player installed.
    Is anybody able to comment or assist in finding a solution to this problem.
    Regards,
    SG

    Success!!
    I found the reason why the Adobe Flash Player Active X Control wasn't installing properly was due to McAfee Virus Scan Enterprise.
    The Access Protection - Anti-Spyware Standard Protection module was causing the executables (when installing) to NOT accessing specific parts of the registry to complete the installation.
    I've had to make the following changes to my McAfee policies in order to allow the Adobe Flash Player Active X Control to install successfully.
    Anti-Spyware Standard Protection - Protect Internet Explorer favorites and settings
    Processess to exclude:-
     InstallAX.exe
    FlashUtil10h.exe
    Uninstall_flash_player.exe
    You might be able to make similar changes to your environment if you're using another product.
    I hope this helps anyone who is experiencing the same issue that I was experiencing whilst trying to understand what was happening in our environment.
    All the best,

  • Install Adobe Flash Player Update.. I do not want the Google tool bar or whatever.

    How to install w/o the Google stuff.

    I find the easiest way to install Adobe Flash is to use the manual installers. You just need to download the installer to your computer, then run it to install Flash. For more details see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#main_ManualInstaller
    That link states you should uninstall earlier versions, as you don't have the version of Flash used by Firefox you can skip that step.

  • Frustrated because I keep getting "action list not found" when installing adobe-reader.

    1. I had Adobe-reader installed and working but kept getting pop-up screens telling me to update.
    2. Each time I tried updating, an error-message showed up "action list not found".
    3a. So I thought deleting adobe-reader and doing a fresh install might work.
    3b. Using Goggle-Chrome, I still get the same error-message.
    3c. Then trying Internet-Explorer as a browser, I still get the same error-message.
    4. The real problem now is I have no Adobe-reader at all and that will make my wife unhappy.
    5. Operating-system is XP; I don't know how to tell if I have SP-2 or SP-3 if that makes a difference at all.

    This problem has been resolved; ultimately, I found out via Googling that XP-SP2-32bit can only handle Version 9.5.
    I am upset that Adobe kept telling me for weeks now that I needed to update but they directed me to an update my system is incapable of handling.
    Hence the error "action list not found". Dumb!!! I trusted them that they knew what they were doing.
    I felt it would help to uninstall what I had and do a fresh install.
    Now in that path, Adobe directed me to download version 9.0, which I did.
    Then somehow I found out that version 9.5 is the latest-greatest for my machine.
    Why did Adobe not make available 9.5 right away instead of 9.0??? Dumb again!!!!
    Nice product though; bad execution.
    I'm done venting.

  • I have iMac (Mavericks).  I could no longer view CNN video clips after installing Adobe Flash Player update

    Other users and guest account could still view the CNN clips but I can view the Ads and then just a black screen?  Any suggestions ?

    I uninstalled version 13 and installed the version 12 as they suggested.  Did not work.
    On my computer now I have three accounts.
    1.  Mine - Flash Player version 13 originally worked but after updating (as was suggested by onscreen prompt) it did not work with Safari.  Uninstalling and reinstalling Flash Playaer version 12 also did not work.
    2.  Second computer user can still see CNN video clips in Safari.  'This user did NOT install the update to version 13.
    3.  Guest accoount still can see CNN video clips in Safari.
    Any suggestions how to get back to the original configuration on my account.  Unfortunately, I did not know about Time Machine and did not have it set up (have subsequently tried to set it up but cannot seem to be able to select a backup disk).
    Any suggestions appreciated.
