Flash 10.3.181.23 ActiveX MSI needs admin credentials to install

I am working at a company that installs Flash through Active Directory. We have a mix of Windows XP 32-bit systems and Windows 7 64-bit systems. We are currently running Flash 10.3.181.14 and I am trying to update everyone to the newest version.
The plugin version of Flash is working on all the systems and the ActiveX version is installing fine for Windows XP 32-bit running IE 7 32-bit. The only issue I am having is that when the GPO installs the ActiveX version on Windows 7 64-bit for IE 8 32-bit something happens and opening a page with Flash content on it causes a UAC prompt for admin credentials to install flash. If I type them in then it works but I am not able to go to each computer and type in the credentials.
Is there anything I can do to work around this? Turning off the UAC is not an acceptable option.

Hi Chris, I didn't see that the 64bit browser was used, oops. If that's the case, then I'm surprised the UAC even came up.
That UAC hasn't been performing as it should, so anything is possible:-)
Thanks for pointing that out!

  • CC warning needs admin Rights to install Add-0ns keeps poping up and can't install Kuler extenison for PS CC 2014?

    Sync files is turned on and I updated all my CC apps but can't install the Kuler extension for PS CC 2014.  Also, constantly getting pop-up OS Notification "Need Admin Rights to install add-ons". Please help to resolve this issue. Thanks. Joe

    This is covered elsewhere but you should enter your admin password and that should enable the install. Further details and solutions are in this thread:

  • Error 175 .- CC needs admin right to install or remove add-ons - Windows 7 -

    Sync files is turned on and I updated all my CC apps but can't install the Kuler extension for PS CC 2014 and other add-ons.  Also, constantly getting pop-up  notification "Need Admin Rights to install add-ons"."Error 175 " "Installation failed" . Windows 7, desktop & laptop.  Please help to resolve this issue. Thanks. Giulio

    In my understanding, you have acquired some add-ons at https://creative.adobe.com/addons, but Adobe Creative Cloud application failed to install them due to that you didn't provide the administrator right.
    You can restart Adobe Creative Cloud application, then it will try to re-install all the failed add-ons, and the notification will pop-up again. You can click it and provide the administrator right.

  • I'm the admin and yet it says I need admin privileges to install games?

    In fact, there are no other users on this brand spanking new laptop and it says admin under my name?!?!
    And yet whenever I try to install games from the Apple downloads section, it simply said I need admin privileges to install the software...
    Is it a Snow Leopard issue or a MacBook issue? I wasn't sure, so I posted it here.
    Please help.

    I'm having the same problem with Diner Dash. It doesn't even give you the prompt to give the password. All it says is "This installer needs admin privileges to download." And the only button it gives you is quit. I've tried a bunch of different things from deleting the guest account to taking the password off my computer, nothing is working.
    I also set everyone to read & write under applications, I even added myself and an admin user since, in the beginning, it didn't have them and it's still not working. It has system, wheel, and everyone. I even checked out the Read me that comes with the disk, wondering if there was this problem known before and the section "Known Problems" says None under it, which doesn't help. I opened up the file inside the installer too and tried working with terminal, nothing is working.

  • AIR runtime and AIR applications built using Captive Runtime still need Admin Privilege to Install

    I am working on a small project to install AIR application(native .exe & .dmg) with AIR runtime without needing the Administrator privilege so I used Captive runtime but the installation is still asking for admin privilege
    I bundled AIR application with AIR runtime using Captive runtime from flash builder 4.6, then I packaged this into a .MSI using Advanced Installer. Now when I install it for a user without admin privilege it prompts me for Admin credentials.
    Can you please tell me if
    1. I need AIR distribution license to install AIR runtime without Admin privilege
    2. Do I need a different installer
    3. Am I missing any step here
    Thank you

    If you're installing to a location where Windows requires elevated privileges, like Program Files, you'll need to have admin privileges to continue.  Are you using an AIR based native installer or have you taken the application with the captive runtime and rolled this up in your own installer?
    Here's a section from the Installation and deployment options in Adobe AIR 3 article that might help:
    Installation privileges
    When designing an installer, one has the option to choose from approaches that may or may not require administrative privilege. For example, a drag-and-drop install on Mac OS X requires no special privilege; users can always copy the application into their own application folders, for which they have the necessary permissions. On the other hand, if registry keys must be written to the machine-specific portion of the registry on Windows, installation of that application will require administrative privilege to do so.
    The two installer formats directly supported by AIR, AIR files and native installers, have always required administrative privilege. This was a design decision made in part to simplify the implementation of the AIR installers: If administrative privilege is assumed to be available, implementation is possible if the registry can be written to, and so on. It was also selected because, in many enterprises, this is the desired behavior: administrators can use the privilege requirement to gate software installation.
    All the same, there are scenarios where supporting installation without requiring administrative privileges is desirable, or even necessary. This can now be achieved using custom installers; you simply need to author an installer that operates correctly with only standard user privilege. In practice this can be easy to achieve; a simple install-by-copy to a writable location (that is, in the user's own folder) will suffice. Should you author a more complex installer, you should keep in mind that the addition of certain operations during the install process will in turn reintroduce the requirement for administrative privileges.

  • Why does App Manager think I need Admin privileges to install updates?

    I'm a Creative Cloud subscriber, and when I open apps (such as Muse) I get a message to install upgrades (or not). If I ask to install, I'm asked for login and password info, which is then refused and I get an error message that I need Admin privileges. So the install fails.
    I can log in to this site using my login and password, so that's not the problem. I can also open the application (without the upgrades) but these are listed as being time-sensitive: only available until, for example, June 14. But there's no way for me to install these new releases. HELP!!!

    It's down to where the updates are writing their files / registry keys. For example, installing/updating the Flash Player runtime has always required admin access as the file lives within the operating system folder tree (on Windows it's in system32/Macromed). Registry-wise, Adobe places keys in HKCU and HKLM - the latter is read-only for normal users.
    If you're managing a network with enterprise-licensed software, there are tools for Creative Cloud that permit an IT manager to build offline deployment packs for the base installers and updates. If your users have retail copies of CC, that isn't an option and everything has to be managed on a per-machine basis.

  • What is the Flash Player auto-update behaviour for users without admin credentials on OSX and Windows?

    Hi
    Does Flash Player auto-update have the ability to update systems when a user does not have administrator access on their device?
    What will the results be if we enable Flash Player auto-update on OSX and Windows systems where:
    1.  Users are log in with accounts that DO NOT have administrator access; and
    2.  Internet access is granted via a proxy server, but only when a user with NO administrator credentials is logged in.
    Thanks in advance.

    Maria
    So there's no way to completely turn off user notification AND allow background updates unless you use a locally hosted update server?  That's too bad.
    Reading page 26 of the manual, I see there's an mms.cfg file that you can configure, with an option SilentAutoUpdateEnable, which is described on page 32:
    SilentAutoUpdateEnable
    SilentAutoUpdateEnable = [ 0, 1 ] (0 = false, 1 = true)
    Availability: Flash Player 11.2 for Microsoft Windows, and Flash Player 11.3 for Macintosh
    Enables a Flash Player update to install silently in the background with no user interaction. Installs both the ActiveX and plug-in players when appropriate. This type of update is called a Flash Player background update.
    Standard users cannot disable background updates if they are enabled by an administrator.
    Depending on the type of browser, if the user has a browser open at the time of an update, the browser might not use the updated player immediately. For more information, see "Performing a background update" on page 19.
    The default value is 0 to disable background updates.
    So you're saying that even if we enable this option (but don't configure a local server), users may still be prompted some or all of the time?

  • Mcxdisksetup needs admin credentials to make changes

    Hi all,
    Since a week when this particular iMac starts up, clients logging in, after building up the desktop for this client, it receives a window stating "Type an administrator's name and password to allow MCXDiskSetup' to make changes".
    If the client cancel this window, he/she is able to work. It is just annoying and I like to know which settings should be changed in order to stop this window for appearing after login. Where should I look? Do I have to look in WGM, or should I open terminal? Any advice welcome.
    Best regards,
    Harry
    NB. Running SL server (latest version), AFP, DHCP, DNS, OD, Web services, and iCal.

    This was driving me mad for a few hours, then I found a Managed Client setting that fixed it.
    Under MEDIA ACCESS in the OTHER MEDIA tab, the box for REQUIRE AUTHENTICATION was ticked against the INTERNAL DISKS
    Once I removed this (in fact stopped managing it altogether) the annoying messages stopped.
    Hope this helps someone else in future.  Googling the message only gave me 4 results!!  Getting support for Apple related enterprise level problems is extremely frustrating.

  • Unable to uninstall Flash 10.3 or upgrade to 11.0.1.152 ActiveX MSI version

    I have one computer that will not upgrade to version 11.0.1.152 ActiveX msi.  The computer currently currently has versionn 10.3 ActiveX msi and it had version 10.3 ActiveX exe also installed at one time.
    I ran the Flash player uninstall available on the Adobe site for Windows.  It uninstalled only the ActiveX executable install and not the MSI version.
    I am not able to upgrade to any newer version using the MSI version.  I get this error message "install_flash_player_10_active_x.msi is not a valid installation package for the product Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX.
    If it's not valid then why is it available on the Adobe site?
    All other Window XP computers are getting their updates from AD group policy and they are updating with no problem.
    Looking for a fix here to either remove ActiveX 10 msi from this computer.

    Well that didn't work.  I tried installing the latest msi version.  The 11.0.1.152 ActiveX msi version is not corrupted, it works on our computers.  I need a way of completely removing this version that is installed.  Adobe uninstall only deleted the executable version and the Plug-in version, leaving the msi version.
    Once I get this 10.3 version completely removed I'm sure a clean install will work again coming from the AD group policy install.  All the other PC's get these updates installed via GPP.  I need the recommended manual removal of flash player I guess.

  • Is Flash 10.3.181.34 a 64-bit version?

    I am running Fedora 14 64 bit version of Linux and I am having a problem with Flash.  When I try to look at what should be a Flash item, I get a blank spot.  If I right click in there I get the message Movie not loaded and a place to click About Flash 10.3.181.34.  If I go there, I get a screen that lists the current version for different OS's.  What I have is the current version.  Why is the movie not loaded?  I have tried to go to the Settings Manager to check my settings but nothing shows up.  I believe that if I go to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ I should get something moving.  I get an empty spot.  If I right click there, I get the same messages - movie not loaded and About Flash.  I have tried to clear my cache and reboot.  Neither fixes the problem.  Help!!!!

    There are no 64-bit Flash Players from Adobe released yet. But that does nog have to be an issue for you, you only need to have a 64-bit Flash Player if you have a 64-bit browser. If you do have a 64-bit browser and not a 32-bit browser you could the beta 64-bit player that is currently in beta: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer11.html
    The usual warnings to using beta software apply. If you try the beta player and have issues with it make sure you report them in the Flash Player 11 forum or directly in the bugtracker if you are familiar with reporting bugs in a software development environment.

  • 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,
