Flash Install Location

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to install Flash Player to a custom location, other than the default?
The reason I ask is I use a program called Deepfreeze on my student machines which resets all computer settings on a restart, and I would like to be able to retain Flash Player updates by installing it to a 'thawed' partion.
Failing this, if anyone else has had a similar problem, or has any suggestions, I would be very greatful.
Also could someone tell me the different default installation locations if possible?
Many thanks.
Steve.

I don't know if this is possible, but check the Flash Player Admin Guide if you can specify a different target location using the MSI installer: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player_admin_guide.html

Why won't Flash install on my MAC?

How come adobe customer service won't help me? It's really
annoying that they can't help over the phone and I just have to
cross my fingers and hope someone knows what's going on in the
forum. Please, help.
I had flash installed fine and then one day it suddenly would
not work. It said I did not have the plug in blah blah so I
reinstalled it and still, all it does is bring me to the adobe
website and say it can't locate my plug-in. I've tried on Safari
and Firefox. I know it is being installed for all of my browsers.
I've also tried updating my browsers as well as uninstalling and
reinstalling flash and nothing works.

Hello,
Please try downloading the Flash from following link:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
Please choose "Mac OSX.." in step 1 and "Flash Player 15.." in Step 2.
You should be able to download the Flash Player then.

Anoop

Where is Flash PLayer located?

I have downloaded flash player 11.1,102.55 several times. It does not show up in my "All Programs" search nor is it listed in the Program files\Adobe folder. It does appear in the control panel uninstall listing. My .flv files are opened by the Wiindows viewer which does not work. I have used the search feature for "Flash player" and it finds nothing. I am using Windows 7 64 bit OS and Internet Explorer 9. I have only had this computera few months and Flash Player has never worked. Here is the last entry in the flashInstall.log

To play .flv files requires the Flash projector not the web Flash Play.

Flash installed and up to date however flash does not run on any web browser

I was catching up on watching a televsion show and watching it with no issues/no problems with flash before. I went to the website below and all of a sudden flash is not working. I did not change any settings, run any updates. I checked various browsers, flash content is not working on any of them. I can view youtube videos however just about any other site I've tried, nothing and many websites will not display correctly. I tried some of the troubleshooting suggestions in the forum however some of them I'm unable to do such as alter the flash settings, it takes me to the page but tells me I don't have Flash installed. I've tried switching user accounts on my pc as others have said flash works for them on the other account however mine is still broken. I've actually tried a system restore, still no luck.
Windows 8 (64 bit)
Flash Version 11.9.900.152
Tried web browsers IE, Firefox, Chrome - I've verified it is enabled
Active X is disabled
I've ran the 'test' to verify Flash is installed and it displays the video
I ran the debugger however I do not know how to interpret the data.
PLEASE HELP!!

How to watch flash based videos without adobe flash installed using Safari

How do I watch flash based videos without adobe flash installed using Safari?

Once you have Chrome installed, activate the Develop menu in Safari (go to Safari Preferences > Advanced > Show Develop Menu). You then will see under the Develop menu the Open Page With option and Chrome will be listed there.
So each time you open a page with Safari requiring Flash, you use that menu option to open the same page in Chrome.

Very simple question, how do you configure windows 8.1 to use a SF card as the default install location for software applications?

Very simple question, how do you configure windows 8.1 to use a SD card / external drive as the default install location for software applications? Primarily interested in apps installed from the windows store. This should be available in the settings
charm within the windows store. This must have been overlooked in the development of windows 8.1 or is a bug.

The registry method does not work with 8.1. I found this out the hard way. Doing it on 8.1 will leave you reinstalling the OS if you didn't do a SRP beforehand.

If I have click to flash installed, will flash still eat up my battery?

I reluctantly installed flash this morning. I've read that it can take 2 hours off your battery life. So here's my question, if I keep "click to flash" installed and don't look at flash, will it still drain my battery? (sorry if this is a stupid question, I just want to make sure)

Ok I'm going to answer my own question. I looked at the activity monitor with flash running and then with the page closed and the cpu usage for the "flash plugin" went from 25% to 0%.
Unfortunately, it may take a while for the transition from flash to html5 to take place. In the meantime there's always "click to flash".

Apps Install Location Doesnt do anything?

I had CS6 installed on my machine in the C drive (125GB SSD) This was done with the very first cloud installer.
I uninstalled it as I have a new SSD that I want my apps to be installed on. I just want my OS on the C drive.
I donwload the cloud manager software.
Go to the preferences menu and find the following options:
Apps: Install Location
Files: Folder location
Before I insatll any apps, I set both of these to point to my new SSD as that is the location I want to install apps in and files.
I then click on Photoshop CC to install.
I always installs on my C drive.
Why? What is the point of a preference to install in a different location if it doesnt do anything?
Has anyone managed to install Photoshop in any other drive than the C drive? If so How?
You cant even choose where you want to install the Creative Clud app?

Changing product installation location in CC App
Launch CC app.
Click on the Setting in the upper-right corner.
Click Preferences-> App
Click on Change and then navigate to your desired installation location and select the folder.
Start the Install process.
When you change it in preferences it get stored, Please confirm Preferences-App is showing the location you specified or not.
Try re-launching your CC app again after changing the preferences.

Ashutosh

Software Inventory - Unknown Install Location

Hello,
Running the SCCM Asset Intelligence report 'Installed Software on a specific computer (Report 02E)' shows a number of software titles with 'Unknown' in the 'Installed Location' column.
I have asked the user of a particular device to check a sample of such software titles to determine if they are actually installed. They say they do NOT appear to be. This is based on searching for executable files in the C: directory.
Choosing one example of the software that has an unknown 'Installed Location', (Visio Viewer 2010) I ran the SCCM report "Software registered in Add Remove Programs on a specific computer" for the chosen device. This report had
'Visio Viewer 2010' on it.
I then ran the report 'Products on a specific computer' for the chosen device and this did NOT have 'Visio Viewer 2010' on it.
My questions are:
Why are some software titles reporting as having 'Unknown' in the 'Installed Location' column?
Are such software titles actually installed on the device or NOT? The results of the reports I have run provide conflicting views of whether the software is or is not installed on the device.
If the software is actually installed on the device, why is nothing being returned in the 'Installed Location' field?
Thank you for your assistance.

AI reports depends hardware inventory classes. I hope you have enable "SMS_InstalledSoftware" class in AI.

Flash Install Error in Opera-9

When I try to install latest Flash for Opera-9, I get an
error message saying Firefox is using one of the files and must be
closed. I have not opened Firefox in weeks. In Windows Task Manager
Firefox does not show as a running application or as any of the
myriad of processes running... so Firefox is not running but the
Flash install for Opera9 is faulty. How do I work around this?
Thanks, in advance, [email protected]

Solved: the typo is in the documentation.
There is a space before the jdbcutility word:
java -classpath newscale_adu.jar;newscale_ddlrunner.jar;newscale_drivers.jar;newscale_security.jar;castor-0.9.5.4.jar;xercesImpl.jar;xml-apis.jar;commons-logging-1.0.4.jar;newscale_core.jar; com.newscale.deployer.util.JDBCUtility SqlServer myserver:1433;DatabaseName=RequestCenter DbNameUnused RCUser mypass C:\sources\rex\deploy\rex.xml
It would be great if the doc is more precise, knowing that most of the install is performed by hand.
Best regards,
David

Mountain Lion installer will not let me choose my Lion Partition as an install location

Mountain Lion installer will not let me choose my Lion Partition as an install location.
Any ideas why?

Again, why will the Mountain Lion installer not allow me to select my Lion partition as the location for the install?
Good question. That's the main way it's supposed to be installed. You shouldn't even need to choose a partition. You purchase Mountain Lion through the App Store, it downloads to the Applications folder and automatically begins the installation on the drive where Lion or Snow Leopard resides as soon as the download is complete.

How to: Resetting install location back to "Default Location..." (Windows 8)

I recently upgraded my PC and added an SSD as my primary drive. Like most people, I also have a secondary drive for most apps and files. In the Creative Cloud App manager, I changed the Installation location to a directory on my secondary drive. The problem was, Some applications I wanted on my SSD for performance reasons and there was no way to change back to the setting "Default location..." Because CC installs both a 32 bit and 64 bit version of some applications, I wanted to make sure that it put them in the correct "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)" folders. After some poking about in the config files I finally found out how to do it.
(NOTE: The path below is for Windows 8 and possibly Windows 7, for other OS's it will likely be in a similiar path)
Close the Adobe Creative Cloud app (File > Quit)
Open this file in notepad: C:\Users\ExampleUser\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE\com.adobe.accc.apps.....prefs
Search through the text untill you find the install location that you set. Mine was "E:\Program Files\"
Delete only that path (leave the <) and then save the file.
Relaunch the Adobe Creative Cloud app
Then check the Install Location in Preferences. It should now be set back to "Default Location..."

For Mac OS X (Yosemite) I found you need to do the following:
1. Quit the Creative Cloud Application in the title bar.
2. Open Activity Monitor, find the Process named "Adobe Desktop Service". Click the stop sign icon with an "x" in it and select Quit to stop this process.
3. Edit the file ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/com.adobe.accc.apps.....prefs
a. Same as in the Windows case, find the line with "installLocation" and delete everything containing a file path between the following ">" and "<"
4. Restart Adobe Creative Cloud from /Applications/Adobe Creative Cloud/Adobe Creative Cloud

SpotifyWebHelper.exe keeps adding itself to startup, and install location?

Every. Single. Time I try to disable Spotify from coming on when I start my computer back up, SpotifyWebHelper.exe gets re-added into Window (7)'s startup. No matter what setting I use, even if I uninstall and reinstall - it pops back up there. And what's worse, is the exe stays open after I close Spotify.
I don't need or want SpotifyWebHelper.exe, I'm tired of having to rename it, make a blank file with that name, then setting it to read only just to keep it from running. Is there any other way to get around this? I canceled my premium subscription because of crap like this, and the awful support I received in the past. I get that you guys rewrote everything from the ground up (Or at least it seems that way), but come on... Let us disable this crap.
Oh and is there a way to move Spotify's install location? No program should install itself into the AppData folder.

1) Yes.
2) Yes although the data on the current RAID set will be deleted.
3) Yes.
4) Yes.

Why does Flash install Google Toolbar?

Why does Flash install Google Toolbar? Honestly, do you have ANY idea how annoying that behaviour is? I had no option at all to not download it, I could not stop downloading it. I was taking from a "you need to install flash" button on Facebook to the download.
Honestly things like this make me rage, installing things automatically without an option.
Until now, I used to think that it was annoying that Apple wouldn't allow flash on some of their devices. Now Adobe pulls **** like this, I'm not surprised. To hell with Flash I say.

This is a user-to-user forum, and you're "preaching to the choir" here. IT ISN'T going to change, and NO ONE from Adobe management ever sees or reads these pages. Employees are here from time to time but no one who makes these decisions participates in these forums, per company policy. (I used to work for Intuit, and we were strictly prohibitied from posting in their forums. A team leader I worked with was fired for it).
Links to the FULL installers are posted literally HUNDREDS of times each week throughout these pages by myself, and at least three others I know of, who volunteer in these pages daily.
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
I DON'T run Adobe and no one here does, so I won't even beging to discuss business ethics.
The solutions have been offered, and I recommend you update NOTHING, including your OS, automatically. I don't because I don't want junk like Ask Toolbar, Yahoo Toolbar, Bing Toolbar, Bing Desktop, Norton or McAfee on any of my nine systems.
