Flash Player 10.2.152.26 won't install/function. Help?

System is a 2 year old Dell Inspiron
desktop with 204GB of free space running Windows Vista (32 bit). Security consists of Microsoft Security Essentials, Spybot Search & Destroy, Windows Defender (although Defender has recently refused to open after restart) and, as of yesterday, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. A full scan yesterday with MBAB resulted in 4 items being detected and quarantined. A quick scan today yielded nothing. Security level is set to medium. Internet zone is set to medium. Active scripting is enabled in both trusted sites and internet zone.
When I download Flash Player from the Adobe site or run it from the computer it appears in Program & Features but will not play video clips or other feeds that require it. No error messages are displayed during download. Adobe.com/software/flash/about indicates that Flash Player is not installed. I have tried turning off both Windows Firewall and the pop-up blocker during download/installation and this makes no difference.
One odd thing - Video clips in Real Player that were originally viewed with Flash Player and then downloaded will not play unless Flash Player appears in Programs & Features. So apparently Real Player recognizes that Flash Player is present (in some form).
Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi, I think you need to follow this procedure and do so carefully. Use the links from here, not from your email. If Malwarebytes is just the standalone on your Desktop, then you don't need to disable it. However read over these instructions regarding Spybot. If you use the SD Helper, disable it also(was TeaTimer) Where you see Spybot in the instructions, this should be included also. Just a FYI, MSE automatically disables Windows Defender.
First download and SAVE the FP Uninstaller to your Desktop:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Next go to this Archived site http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html Download the Flash Player 9.0.280 21.8 MB to your Desktop. This is a zipfile.
Look for and extract: Internet Explorer flashplayer9r280_winax.exe and put it on your Desktop. (1.46 MB)
Download the FP Installer for IE and SAVE to your Desktop:(latest version)
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
Once you have those on your Desktop, Using the Administrator Account, you will CLOSE all browser windows.
Disable Spybot.
Look in your system tray(area near the clock) for any instant messengers, aol, yahoo, etc and Disable them.
Run the Uninstaller and when it is finished, Reboot(restart) your computer.
Check and make sure Spybot is still Disabled.
Run the Installer for vs 9 and when finished, Reboot your computer
Test your browser here and you should be able to see the Flash logo animation(spin) and the version of Flash Player should be listed.
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ It should be vs 9
Now you will run the Uninstaller again to Uninstall vs 9, when finished, Reboot your computer
Check and make sure Spybot is still Disabled.
Run the Installer for vs 10.2.152.26 and when finished, Reboot your computer.
Then test your browser and you should have vs 10.2.152.26 now Installed. If you can see the Flash logo animation(spin) then most likely you have Shockwave Flash Object in the IE addons, so check that and make sure it is Enabled..
You will want to Print these instructions out to make it easier to follow.
If you have any questions, let me know.
Thanks,
eidnolb

Flash Player will download, but won't install.

I uninstalled Flash Player with Adobe's Uninstaller, and attempted to reinstall Flash Player. The .exe downloads just fine, but when I run it, it gives me this error message:
ABORT: Assertion failed (WebBrowser -> WebBrowserObject != NULL)
Unable to embed web browser (.\ie\iewebbrowser.c/311)
I use Windows 7, FireFox 32, and am trying to install the latest version of Flash. What is the problem?

I was unable to see any kind of Flash content on this page when inspecting the page source.
I would ensure that your server is serving the correct mime-type for .swf files (application/x-shockwave-flash), and that you were using a recommended method for embedding the SWF into the page, like SWFObject: swfobject - SWFObject is an easy-to-use and standards-friendly method to embed Flash content, which utilizes one small…

Flash player v10.02.159 won't install - how can I install an older version?

Hi all, any help will be appreciated.
I've read all the relevent posts in this forum and tried the various suggestions. (used the Adobe uninstaller, used the various packages on the x64 help page; clean installs and uninstalls with RevoUninstaller Pro) shockwave for director is on Firefox, but would not even download on IE. (I don't use IE anyway, but...)
I am running XP pro x64. I have Firefox v3.6.16 and Internet Explorer v 8 32 bit. I don't have the 64 bit installed.
When I updated to v 10, it wouldn't install on either browser. The error message for the Flash player 10.2 installer reads:
I am also running Chrome. I never updated the player, so it works on there (thank goodness!) (Nothing shows in the extensions folder)
I tried to install an older package, flashplayer 9r280_win.exe and Brothersoftdownloader_for_Adobe_Flashplayer. - clean installs and uninstalls each time., also with no luck.
Can someone tell me how to install an older version until the 64 bit version works for me? Or - if there is a fix that has not been posted yet - I'm game to try.

You could try if the MSI installer works better; download it from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
If it does not, archived FP versions can be found at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html

I can't watch YouTube videos on my brand new MacBook Pro with Lion. It says I need to download Adobe Flash Player but that won't install. Help!

I can't watch YouTube videos on my brand new MacBook Pro with Lion. It says I need to download Adobe Flash Player but that won't install. Help!

The same thing happens to me, Safari asks me to update the Adobe FlasPlayer, I download, start the installation process, ask me my username and password in order to install, then see a window where I choose if I want to always install the updates , or ask first, or not inslate updates, and at this point it is not progress, I can not cancel the process, I turn off and turn on my machine.
What can I do ..??

Fire fox is not upgrading to Adobe Flash Player 10.2.152.32 (2.70 MB)

All the web sites I use want Adobe Flash Player 10.2.152.32 I downloaded from Adobe and installed it. it did not install in Firefox. I was told to clear cache private data and cookie did it and it still is not installing in Firefox. I have to use IE to visit the sites that upgraded to Adobe Flash Player 10.2.152.32, '''I don't like IE'''

Hi oarun,
Yes. There are 2 things, maybe 3 you should try.
Go to Flash download site and DO NOT download 10.2.152.32. Instead look the site for the hotlink that says "for other browsers" and download it. You should see 10.2.152.33 for Safari and other browsers. Download this one. (I don't think you have to uninstall the 10.2.152.32 Flash version but you might have to in case your browser gets confused)
Now, try your Firefox browser and see if the videos work.
If the videos work in Firefox, you should be good to go.
Remember, IE8 and the Flash Update for Windows is where the problem is at from my perspective.
My computer runs Win XP Pro Service Pack 3 and Internet Explorer 8 (IE8). I have been running Windows since 1995 with all the updates. You don't have to be on an Apple Operating System to load the Apple Safari browser. I personally like Safari much better than IE8 but I am running both IE8 and Safari on my computer as we communicate.
Let me know if this works for you. I inserted a screen shot of the Flash download page showing where to download the Flash update for Safari and other browsers but not IE8 below:

Message was edited by: newsguy64 I forgot to tell you. If Firefox does not work, then go to Apple's website and download their Safari browser. I know it works on XP!!! I wish you success.!
Message was edited by: newsguy64 Good grief, I goofed. You are using Chrome, not Firefox. Regardless, the "other browser Flash download is still the ticket, maybe.
Message was edited by: newsguy64 OARJUN, I JUST TESTED CHROME AND IT WORKS GREAT WITH THE DOWNLOAD FROM FLASH I SUGGESTED TO YOU ABOVE.

When I want to play a video, it asks me to download the latest Adobe Flash player, and the iPad won't do that.

The iPad doesn't and never will support the Flash program. You will need to download and install a different browser like the aforementioned Skyfire. Photon and Puffin are also mentioned as browsers that support Flash. Or see if the place you're accessing that video from has an app.

You should make sure you do a complete uninstall of the flash player first and then install the latest FP14 version from this link - Use http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player_osx.dm g
In order to do a complete uninstall - Uninstall Flash Player | Mac OS

Flash player only works for user account installed with

Hi all
I've different user accounts on my PC for me and my son.
Somehow Flash Player 10 only works for the user account I installed Flash player with.
In case I install it using my account it will not work for my son's account and vice versa.
How can I solve this?
Thanks
Mario

I've struggled with this for a long time. Here is what I've come up with.
Adobe tech support recommended this:
1. Log in as Admin
2. Download the following zip file from here:
www.supportflash.com/reset_all.zip
3. Unzip this folder onto your desktop.
4. Drag both files ‘reset_min_all.cmd’ and
‘subinacl.exe’ to your
desktop.
5. Run the reset_min_all.cmd file.
6. It will open a DOS like terminal and start
running through registry
keys.
7. When it is finished it will say “press any key
to continue”.
8. At this point you can install the latest Flash
Player:
for Internet Explorer:
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/ts/documents/tn_19166/Install_F
lash_Player_9_ActiveX.zip
other browsers:
http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer
9. Check that Flash Player is working for the
Admin.
10. Check that Flash Player is working as the
other 2 users.
I hope this information helps. Feel free to reply

assistance on the issue discussed here or file

I can't recall whether I had to run this in each account or not. It somewhat worked for me. If the accounts were all set up as admin accounts, flash worked in all the accounts after that. If one account was admin and the rest were limitied (I'm running xp home) it wouldn't work in the limited account.
I gave up and reverted back to flash player 9 via NOrton go back
It must be a permissons issue of some sort. I just don't have the patience to figure it out.
Good Luck,
Let us know what you figure out

The email and password will be the ones for your computer's security, not something for any Adobe product. You might need to consult Mac customer support if you are unable to determine the required information.

Hello, I have a new Mac Book Pro and I am unable to get Adobe flash player to work. When I install it says it has been installed. Where should I see that it is installed. Where do I find it?

Check your system preferences.
My copy of flash installed as a preferance pane.
If its there you will be able to check the current installed version and set preferences for flash and updating.

Adobe Flash Player 11.7.700.169 2 , install window shows 1 item Zero KB? Even tried an uninstall and same thing, shows 1 item Zero KB? WHY?

Hello Chris and Sameer,
thank you for getting back on this issue.
To answer your questions first:
- no, I have not posted this issue in the connect forums - I will do and point to this discussion
- Sameer, I have tested the webcam on the website you pointed out, it is not working with Firefox but it is working in Chrome
I also need to give you an update on the current versions I use:
Win 7 Pro (64bit) (all updates included)
Firefox 21.0
IE 10.0.9200.16576
Chrome 26.0.1410.64 m
Flash Player 11.7.700.202
Adobe Connect Addin 11.2 r261
I tested the webcam via FP with Firefox, IE and Chrome in the versions mentioned above. Only in Chrome I can run the WebCam on the www.testwebcam.com website. Once I start the adobe connect meeting and want to start the webcam the Connect Addin stops working with the popup as shown in post 3 of this discussion in all three browsers.
All components have been uninstalled and installed again (except for IE) for testing with no change in the result. I have also rolled back the computer to the system recovery point furthest back in time to see if any other installation might be the cause. But no luck either.
I am happy to post the logs but would need advise where to find these or how to retrieve.
Thanks!
