Flash Player 11 ActiveX install fails -- Error 1722

Hi,
I am unable to install Flash Player 11.5.502.149 on Windows 8. The error reported is:
Adobe Flash Player 11 ActiveX -- Error 1722. 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: C:\Users\Nick\AppData\Local\Temp\InstallAX_11_5_502_146.exe, command: -install -msi
We have tried running uninstall_flash_player.exe to try and clean things up but this still fails. Is there a known problem with installing Flash player ActiveX on Windows 8? Flash player Plugin works fine just the ActiveX version which does not.
Thanks,
Nick

Adobe http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html states
“Note: Release builds of Flash Player for Windows 8 are a part of the Windows 8 update”
So we cannot push flash directly, rather it is included in WSUS.
This is nice, but we have an application that crashes in IE 11 unless we use the Flash install from the Adobe site.
We have contacted the application vendor, but systems are down now.

2. Select it and choose Modify> Convert to symbol
3. Choose type "Button"
4. Give it an instance name on the "Properties" window, like my_btn
5. Create a new layer and place your cursor on the first frame for the layer you just created
6. Press F9 in Windows or open the Actions window Windows > Actions
7. Write code to indicate the function for the button:

How to install old version of Flash Player ActiveX

Hello,
I have to install Flash Player ActiveX 10.1.x or 10.3.x because it is required by my application. 11.x version I tried made issues.
I downloaded various 10.x versions : they all told me that this version is not the newest => I can only quit the installation.
How can I avoid that message ?
What does Adobe care which version I want to install because I have to ?????
Thank you for your help !

Please run the appropriate uninstaller linked below. That should allow you to run older installers without receiving that error.
Windows 32-bit: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash _player_32bit.exe
Windows 64-bit: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash _player_64bit.exe
Thanks,

That's a good question. I may have installed FP 10.1 Beta in many of the attempts to resolve the issue. I've scanned my registry for any reference to Flash and removed anything that remotely resembles Flash Player (of course backing up Registry first). I've run uninstall_flash_player.exe, which doesn't appear to do anything. I've checked logs and there's no reference to Flash Player being installed.
When I go to the link provided ( http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/) I get the messageThe version of Adobe® Flash® Player ActiveX that you are trying to install is not the most current version. Please visit http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer to obtain the latest, most secure version. and when I look at the log (install.log) I see an attempt to install Flash Player.

I can not install flash player activeX

Hi, For some reason I had to uninstall Flash Player Plugin Istaller Active X and Flash Player. Although he has performed all procedures and automatic aid two days have passed and I can not install the Active X control As part of the 'install it I get a notification saying actual words (translated from Italian into English):
The Adobe Flash Player ActiveX is not attempting to install the latest. Visit http://......................player_it to get the latest and most secure.
This message appears just downloading from the site recommended and everything is really frustrating. My OS is VISTA64x Home Premium and the problem persists on both IE8 IE8 x64 x32.
Also stress that I have not installed any ActiveX flash player so why do I feel that I try to install the version that is not especially since the most recent discharge from the link that that message would you recommend?
I hope someone is able to say once and for all how to solve this problem.
Sincerly Jinjetto

Hi, glad that worked for you. Also thanks for the explanation as how you came about this. Yes, from my understanding any Install of the CS5, even a trial version Installs the 10.1 (beta/prerelease) versions. It is not clear to me or others why the 10.1 was used in the CS5 instead of the latest version (10.0.45.2). My only guess is that the 10.1 is very close to being released as a shipping version (final release) to the public. The 10.1 had a target date of the first half of 2010. Perhaps that was the reasoning. This is just my opinion:-)
As I said, many users are having this problem, not just with the CS5, but they Install the 10.1 thinking that will solve whatever problem they may be having with the latest version.
Your thread is very helpful for other users that may be having the exact problem that you were. For this reason if you marked your thread as answered, they would read it first.
Thanks,

Flash player is installed on my Windows 8, enabled and ActiveX is off, what is wrong?

I have Windows 8, Flash player is installed, enabled and ActiveX is off.... I have tried all of YOUR flash player issue antecdotes and nothing has made it work, what now?

IE11 is a "Rolling Train Wreck". Combined with 8.1 it is, without a doubt, the worst pile of garbage to EVER come out of Redmond, WA.
MS deliberately altered the "User-Agent Strings" to make it nearly IMPOSSIBLE for pages and sites to ID it. (See: IE11's Screwed up User-Agent Strings)
The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

How to check if Flash Player ActiveX is installed

Hello,
I want to check if Flash Player ActiveX is installed or not in my Machine .
I want to check through C++/MFC code
Rahul,

That is not a perfect solution. Because If someone does not have flash activeX installed and if he downloads only activeX component .ocx file and use regsvr32 <path_TO_ActiveX> then he will be successfully able to register activeX . So now pc is having activeX and still machine will not have C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash folder so checking only for folder is not a solution.
Well after some research I found
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000}
I don't know if it is a perfect solution. I am just going to test it on few machines.

Adobe Flash Player 10.1 issues, errors with Quickbooks Pro 2010 installation

I recently - uh today - had an agonizing experience installing Quickbooks Pro 2010 because I kept receiving error messages during the Quickbooks installation. It was a new cd that I had purchased a few months ago from Costco, and had been putting off using it, or even installing it.
So today, I tried to install it, and failed repeatedly. I kept getting the same message, Adobe Flash player file is unavailable - with a drop down screen showing the location of the flash player file that the installation software was trying to find so it could continue the installation. I think I recall seeing an error message originally with Adobe Flash Player 10.1, but it's been a long day, so maybe the error was always referring to Flash Player 8.0. I tried to browse for a new location that the Flash Player file might be located, looking through the Program Files\Adobe and coming up with nothing.
I spent a long time looking through the discussion forums on both Quickbooks and Adobe trying to find the answer, also turning off and on my computer, ha. And I installed the latest Flash version, Flash Player 10.1, then uninstalled it and then reinstalled it, and then uninstalled it and looked for the obsolete Flash Player 8.0 which I couldn’t find on Adobe’s website, but found links to in two other forums…So basically, I tried to solve this on my own, and it didn't work.
So...I was whining to a friend who suggested I just call Quickbooks technical support. Duh, why didn't I think of that? I guess because the packaging on the new software says that fees may apply if you call customer service. Well, it doesn't apply to the first call, and also it's crazy to charge someone who can't even install the program. So I called them, and was on hold forever.
But the problem was solved.
The tech support person, Manish, was able to install Quickbooks by completely bypassing the usual installation procedure. He checked for compatibility, which was fine, I have Windows XP, etc. and then I believe went to control panel, add or remove programs, and clicked on add programs, and followed the icons with the Wizard to install the latest version of Quickbooks. The interesting thing here is that QB has some special download to allow remote access during a trouble shooting call. It initially freaked me out, but it worked just fine, since I could see what was happening on my computer screen even though I wasn't the one operating the computer.
I asked Manish why this installation method seemed to work. He said some of the Quickbooks cds have a bad Flash Player program file, and doing it this way seems to bypass it. He also said that Quickbooks should not compatibility issues with Flash 8.0 or Flash 10.1, but there were some problems noted with Flash Player 9.0. I asked if I would have problems if I uninstalled Flash Player 8.0 and then reinstalled 10.1. He said there shouldn’t be problems, so that’s what I just finished doing.
Hopefully this is helpful for someone else out there in cyberland.
Also, it was kind of helpful, someone else posted on another forum that you could check what flash files you have by going to C:\Windows\System 32\Macromed\Flash, because I couldn’t even find where the Flash Player was installed. They are not in the Program files under Adobe.

Hi, well that sounds like quite an ordeal. Your Flash files are located in C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash Open Flash with a right click and post back all files listed there. It may be a good idea to just confirm that they are correct.
Then Using Internet Explorer, go to Tools, Manage addons and Toolbars & Extensions and look for a box Show all add ons.
You should find Shockwave Flash Object..ActiveX Control..Flash10h.ocx and make sure it is enabled.
The Flash files and that ActiveX Control is Flash Player.
Now if you use another browser, you may want to post that version info as well. Also, what service pack do you have with XP?
Thanks,
eidnolb

Flash player Activex issue

Hi, apologies new to this forum and not too computer savvy.
I have installed Flash Player 10.1.85.3 onto my windows XP computer. (Sorry dont know how to check if 32 or 64 bit).
I use both IE & firefox to browse the web. I do not know if this is connected but when I browse on IE i get promps as to whether i want to open activex control which I dont get on firefox?
I have just bought a Western Digital Network attatched storage hard drive and have tried to install it. However, I get an error message "to run this program version 9 or greater of the flash activex control is needed. It will be automatically installed". When I press OK, i get firther message, " Adobe flash player Activex set up. The version of adobe flash player activex that you are trying to install is not the most current version. please visit http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer to obtain the lastest most secure version". The software will then not continue to allow me to load for the hard drive.
i have checked on Adobe what flash player I have installed on my computer and note that I have flash player 10.1.85.3 installed. When I check my add/remove programs I do not see this program, all I see is Adobe AIR, Adobe flash player 10 plugin, Adobe reader 9.4, Adobe shockwave player 11, (i do note that the adobe flashplayer 10 plugin does not show any size).
When I installed Flash player 10, at the end of the process I did get an error message "activex control for flash player could not be registered". However, it would appear that the flash player did install?
Can anyone help me and guide me through what I need to do, please!! If any more info is needed, just ask but you may have to tell me where and how I can retrieve that info, Sorry!

Firefox does not use ActiveX (it uses plugins instead); that's why you don't get that message on FF.

It appears as if that software is trying to install an old version of Flash Player. If I were in your situation I would try one of the following:
uninstall your current Flash Player using the uninstaller from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html (all browser windows must be closed when running the uninstaller), then try installing that driver again.
go to the Western Digital Network website and look if a newer driver is available.

I cannot get Flash Player to install on my Mac

I cannot get Flash Player to install on my Mac Air. I have repeatedly confirmed that I meet the system requirements and installed and uninstalled the software. It always fails at 51% installation and give me and alert that says Install Error. Please help!
MAC OS 10.8.5
Safari 6.1
Firefox 26.0
Just performed the update to FP12 on my iMac. Worked perfectly.
MAC OS 10.6.8
Safari 5.1.10
Firefox 26.0
It appears the problem is with the newer OS...

"Allllllllrighty then!" as "Ace Ventura" said....
The problem ISN'T with Flash Player...
If you remember back in September, when Apple released the 10.8.5 update, shortly thereafter... you no doubt discovered a file named "mach_kernel" was in your Mac HD directory. And... unaware of what it was, you deleted it.
That (mach_kernel) is a base file of OS X and Apple screwed up the update and made it "visible" when it's supposed to be hidden.
Hundreds of thousands of unsuspecting Mac Users worldwide deleted it and it'll make things worse as time goes by.
YOU'RE in luck, though. I have a fix.
If you have a TIme Machine and use the "Secrets" pereference pane to reveal "hidden files", you can restore it from a "pre 10.8.5" backup.
If not, I have a "fresh" mach_kernel file you can download.
You'll need to download and install the Secrets prefpane. It'll then be in your System Preferences.
Make sure you have it set to "show hidden files"
Check the box and you have to restart Finder
Press "Quit This" and then go to the Finder Dock icon and right click it
Select "Open"
Open your TIme Machine
Go back to September 28 or earlier.
You'll see the mach_kernel file in the Mac HD directory
(I can't show it in the TM because screenshots don't work while it's open but here it is in my MAc HD)
Right click it and select "Restore to"
Then, when it goes back to Finder, choose the Mac HD directory and click OK.
It will place the mach_kernel back where it was and you can install software again
DON'T FORGET to go back and hide your files (and restart Finder) again, or you'll have a mess with the clutter of hidden files everywhere.
IF you don't have the Time Machine...
WITH hidden files shown, download this file (mach_kernel.zip)
Move it to your Mac HD directory and THEN unzip it with Stuffit Expander or TheUnarchiver, whichever you use (most people have Stuffit).
You should see the mach_kernel file there.
You can delete the zip file, and then go back to Secrets in your System Preferences, and uncheck Show Hidden Files.
Restart Finder and it'll be safely hidden again.
THEN you can install Flash Player and other software without the "General Installation Error".

Adobe Flash Player ActiveX deployment doesn´t work in SCCM 2012 R2

I´ve created an Application to deploy Adobe Flash Player 15.0.0.189 (last version). I´ve tried to deploy with the msi downloaded from Adobe site, using Powershell App Deploy Toolkit, bat script.. but nothing seems to work 100%.
I have 2500 computers in my company. Working with SCCM 2012 R2.
Some computers doesn´t install;
Some install it but Internet Explorer seems to loose this configuration and doesn´t open flash videos;
Some install but doesn´t uinstall the last version, then you can see two diferent versions installed;
Do you have a definitive solution to deploy Adobe Flash Player via SCCM?

Can Flash Player be installed on an external hard drive?

I have this game I am trying to install on an external hard drive that requires Flash Player and even though it is installed on my computer the game keeps popping up with Flash Player is required for this install. Would you like to install it now? Is there any way to install Flash Player on my external or get the game's installer to recognize it being on the hard drive. I don't want to install the game to my computer. Thanks for any help.

Flash Player is installed on the Windows system32 and syswo64 folders; it cannot be installed anywhere else.
What does that game require: the ActiveX control, or the plugin? If in doubt, install both.

Flash Player Help Check Fails

Win7ProSP1, 64Bit
Intel i5 CPU, [email protected] 3.3GHz, 4GB RAM installed.
Flash working fine until about a month ago. Then started getting script errors and hangups and bogged down firefox.
Tried updating firefox and flash, cleaning computer, virus checks etc. Nothing worked.
Uninstalled Flash using Revo Uninstaller advanced mode.
Helpx test said that it was not installed.
Tried reinstalling Flash 15.0.0.189 using Adobe_Flash_Player_(Non_IE)_v15.0.0.189.exe
Installation completed OK.
Started Firefox 33.0.2 in Safe mode.
Went to helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html
"Check if flash player is installed on your computer"
Check Now click.
"Your Flash Version 15.0.0"
on my other computer where firefox is working properly it says "Your Flash Version 15.0.0.189"
"Verify if Flash Player is installed" does not work.

Thank you Pat Willener for your suggestion to set my Shockwave Flash add-on for Firefox to Always Activate.
I spent time doing a reinstall and Google searching over the last few days trying to figure out why I suddenly kept getting a prompt to "Activate Adobe Flash" whenever I visited a site with a video using Adobe Flash.
Little did I know it would be related to a setting for Shockwave Flash.
Problem solved.
