Error installing Flash Player (for Firefox?)

When trying to install the latest Flash player (10.3) on my Windows XP machine, I get the error "The procedure entry point CM_Get_DevNode_Status_Ex could not be located in the dynamic link library SETUPAPI.dll"
I hit OK and it continues.
Now I have the Flash player working in Google Chrome, but it will not work in Firefox.
HELP??!!

It sounds like you have a corrupted setupapi.dll on your system.  What files do you have in your C:\windows\system32\macromed\flash folder?  I'd recommend downloading and running the free version of Malwarebytes.  Once your system checks out clean, you might want to take a look at this page for solutions on getting a valid copy of that dll back in place:

In particular, I'd check out the sfc /scannow command.

  • Cannot install Flash Player for Firefox

    I am running Windows XP HE with SP4.  IE and the latest version of Firefox are installed.
    In both IE and Firefox, on attempting to install Flash Player with the standard link, I get an error message in a small window opens, title "getPlus+(R): Error," text "Unable to load a GUI," "OK" box.  I got around this by locating a standalone installation for IE, which downloaded an installation file to my computer.  However, this does not work in Firefox, even when obtaining access to that link from Firefox.  The file executes, but Flash Player still shows as not installed in Firefox.
    I cannot find any separate standalone installer for Flash Player for Firefox.
    This error message appears to be generated by the Adobe Installer, a getPlus product.  My thought was to uninstall the Adobe Installer, and try to start over.  However, the Adobe Installer shows up in the list of installed programs reached through Control Panel, BUT clicking the button to uninstall the program does nothing.  The program remains listed.  I cannot find a location for the Adobe Installer program on my disk drive.

    As I said in my first message, Adobe DLM appears in the "Add/Remove Programs" dialogue box, but clicking the Remove button doesn't do anything.  The screen flickers for a couple of seconds, and Adobe DLM remains listed as an installed program.  There is no installed program listed under the description getPlus or NOS.
    I found useful information at http://www.findmysoft.com/news/Patch-to-Fix-Critical-Adobe-Download-Manager-Vulnerability- Released/ .  Not to put too fine a point on it, information at various locations shows that the DLM has been a troublesome program.
    IE did not list Adobe DLM, getPlus, or NOS as an addon.  Firefox listed "getPlusPlus for Adobe 16263" as a plugin. There was not other extension or plugin listed under Adobe DLM, getPlus, or NOS.
    Based on the information at the link cited above, I tried the following. First, in Firefox, I disabled the getPlusPlus for Adobe 16263 plugin.  Removing it was not an option.  First, using services.msc, I disabled the getPlus Helper service.  Removing it was not an option.  Third, I deleted the directory c:\Program Files\NOS and its subtree.  I did not find anything relevant in the Application Data directories.
    I then went to the link on the Adobe Web site to install Flash Player.  (I know, it's already installed, but I wanted to see if the DLM would now function.)  This time, the first thing that happened upon clicking the link to install it was that the site completed a new installation of DLM.  However, on proceeding to the installation of Flash Player itself, I got the same error message noted above, "A GUI could not be loaded."  So nothing changed.  Opening services.msc again, I noted that the getPlus Helper service had been reinstalled, and was no longer disabled.  The c:\Program Files\NOS directory had been recreated.  I tried manually starting the getPlus Helper service, and trying the installation again through the Adobe Web site.  Same result, no help.  And note that DLM is not being cleaned up automatically as part of this process, as is supposed to happen.
    I'm thinking that a previous installation of DLM left behind some corrupted relic that is preventing it from running properly.  Very likely an incorrect registry entry.  But good luck finding that one without help.
    NOS Micro has a link to "Contact Our Support Team" at http://www.nosltd.com/index.php/support .  Maybe as a last resort see if they would respond?  Note that I can't locate a way to get support from Adobe except by paying $39.95 per incident for telephone support.
    Thanks!

  • How do I install Flash Player for Firefox on Windows 8?

    I installed Windows 8 today on my Intel Core i3 6GB RAM 64-bit machine, and cannot get Firefox 18.0.1 to run Flash.
    I kept getting "PlayerPlugin_11_5_502_146.exe" memory errors.
    I've gone to http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer.html and tried the 11.6 Beta releases offered to no avail - although the error changed to "PlayerPlugin_11_5_602_146.exe".
    Help? (But, please be gentle - I might be a "5" on the "PC Tech Competency Scale to 10".)
    Many thanks,

  • Cant install flash player for firefox and steam

    hi
    as i stated in the topic i cant seem to install flashplayer for those 2.
    just to give you all a general information i have a core i5 760 cpu on asus p7p55d-e pro motherboard with 4gb of memory and gtx 480 as my system. when i used internet explorer flash was working properly it also works properly in google chrome but it doesnt play movies in steam client leaving a message in the middle that i need the latest version and i cant seem to install firefox plugin anyway too it redirects me to do it manualy and thats where problems start.
    when i go to flash website from ie or chrome it shows i have the latest version available installed but it doestn work with steam and firefox.
    what i noticed is when i download the latest version of flashplayer installer for windows 7 64bit either for ie or for other browsers and try to install it including running it as administrator the installer doesnt do anything that leads to install . what i have noticed is after i confirm in windows that i want to install it i get this little circle as my cursor for about 1 min randomly showing up and turning into normal pointer on top of that when i turned on task manager to see why is that happening i noticed that flash installer starts in services  tab one two or even three times at a time and closes itself to do it again one or 2 and one again. also noticed it showes few coppies of flash installer that appear in that time in my temp directory on disc C with weird names like quote:
    "install_flashplayer11x64ax_aih_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_ 1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_ 1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1"
    all in all im not so much bothered about firefox as i dont use it anymore but i wish i could install flash for steam
    does anyone knows solution to my little problem ?
    p.s i tried ussing that flash installer in windows safe mode with no positive result.

  • "General Installation Error" installing Flash Player for Mac

    Even after a complete un-install (using Adobe un-installer) and restart, it only installs to 6% to 50%. OS is up to date. It failed on MacBook Pro and Mac Mini, both under 3 years old.

    Since a couple of months, Adobe Flash Player updates do not work anymore on my Mac OS 10.8.5 (while uninstalling and freshly installing the update does). I wonder why Adobe doesn't get this right.
    Uh... that would mostly be because Adobe DIDN'T delete your mach_kernel file...

  • Flash Player for Firefox on Win 8 / 64 bit

    I'm trying to install Flash Player for Firefox on a Windows 8, 64 bit system, but have been having no end of grief. 
    I've finally traced the problem back to the origin, and it's happening because when I enter the info on the download page, it serves up the installer for the 32 bit version instead. 
    It does in fact verify on the page that I'm requesting and downloading the 64 bit version, but what I receive and then install is 32 bit.  And consequently, I can't get Flash Player to work in Firefox.
    Is there any way at all I can access the real 64 bit Flash Player for Firefox / Windows 8?

    There is no separate 32-bit and 64-bit installer; on a 64-bit system the installer will automatically install both 32-bit and 64-bit players.
    Download the installer from http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player.exe

  • HT202681 Is Flash Player only for Safari? Do I need Flash Player for Firefox?

    Is Flash Player only for Safari? Do I need Flash Player for Firefox?

    A Flash tip to help avoid security issues later: There are known scammer who fake a "Flash is out of date" pop-up that leads you to a site that installs malware or can compromise your private data. If you see a pop-up in FF saying you need to upgrade Flash, the only safe thing to do is go to this official Adobe site:
    https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    and follow the downloads instructions there. It will show the currently available version. You can quickly tell what version is on your computer by doing System Preference > Flash Player and selecting the "Updates" tab.
    Do NOT choose to update Flash from any pop-up. Here are several articles with more info on the "Fake Flash" issue:
    http://www.thesafemac.com/?s=flash&submit=Search
    Fake Flash pop-ups commonly contain grammatical or spelling errors. One common one is "Failure to install this update may cause your computer to crush." Using only the official Adobe site I linked plus checking your current version via System Preferences will avoid your having to figure out if a pop-up is fake.

    how can i install flash player for window 8.1(64 bit) on my laptop?

    For Internet Explorer, you don't. Microsoft has already done it.
    For Firefox, Opera or Safari, use the Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    For Chrome, you don't need to wither because Google puts it in the browser.

  • [TECHNOTE ANNOUNCE]  Error installing Flash Player "The download did not pass the integrity check (16236.304.443)

    All,
    I've published a new technote for folks who are having trouble with the Adobe Download Manager and Flash Player.
    Error installing Flash Player "The download did not pass the integrity check (16236.304.443)
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/512/cpsid_51258.html
    Essentially this technote links to the Windows troubleshooting technote here:
    http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_19166
    However, before today the Windows troubleshooting technote only had an EXE install for the ActiveX version of Flash Player 10.  I have now added a link to download the EXE version of the Flash Player Plugin installer as well.
    Please point other users with integrity check errors to the first technote.

    Thank you for the update & Tech Note Announcement. I do have a couple of questions, if you could please respond.
    After uninstalling and ready to download; reading from the link you provided on 9/4/09, Should we follow the normal download instructions
    per #2. "Flash  Player download Center" and if a successful installation is not accomplished, THEN, go to "download and unzip install_Flash_Player_10_Plugin (all other windows browsers) ? Or should the latter step be done in lieu of #2 mentioned. I am assuming the download from F.P. D.L. Center would be done first and then troubleshoot by running the EXE. version of the F.P. Plugin installer.
    Experience has taught me not to assume much, and if you don't know, ask!
    Thanks for your hard work, but you have to admit, for the technically deprived, it is frustrating and confusing.

  • Cannot install Flash Player in Firefox

    Windows Vista 32 bit
    Firefox 3.6.8
    I have been trying for days to install the latest version of Flash Player for Firefox but keep going round in circles.
    I download the Download Manager which then prompts me to restart Firefox.
    When I do, the Download Manager starts but I then get a screen telling me that in order to use a proxy I need to enter an address and a port. I am not using a proxy. If I click OK the screen reappears. If I click cancel the downlaod is cancelled.
    I have tried uninstalling previous versions, but this makes no difference.
    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Don't use the download manager; download the installer directly from

  • Installing Flash Player for Other Browsers on Win 8

    Hi,
    I would like to install Flash Player for Other Browsers (specifically for Steam) on my laptop which runs on Win 8 but I'm having issues.
    When I run the installation file and then click Yes in the User Account Control dialog box, nothing happens thereafter.
    I checked in Task Manager and the installer is indeed running but I don't see anything happening (been more than half an hour).
    I tried terminating the first instance of the program, downloading the file again, and running the installer - but the same problem arises.
    Please help! THANKS!
