Repeated attempts to install new Flash Player 12 failed, installer hanging at 95% complete. Tried uninstalling old version first – still no help.

Disregard "Flash Player 12 installer hangs at 95% complete. Repeatedly." below.

I originally asked this question, then found an answer.
I followed a suggestion to trash an application support folder from the Library, and restarted. Then the installer worked OK.
Still not plekased with Adobe online help, and I can't find a way to respond to my own question, so I'm posting this instead.

We're getting a lot of these complaints with this latest update and Snow Leopard...
I made a PDF with illustrated, detailed instructions to resolve it: Snow Leopard Clean Install.pdf
Use THIS file with those instructions: Flash Player 12.0.0.44 (Mac OS X)

That is an old document (Flash Player 10.3) that shouldn't be there anymore. (The English document redirects to the link below.)

Adobe Flash Player 12 installation error

I cannot install Adobe Flash Player 12. I go through all of the setting and just when I think it's about to finish I get the "General Installation Error" message.
I've trashed all the Flash Player folders in my library but it hasn't helped. Any suggestions?

Hi,
I am having the same issue.
This link is probably more useful though not in my case.
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-mac.ht ml
I too get the General Installation error and have followed the advice on the Adobe website.
"Close all browsers if an error message appears."
I have closed all browsers (force quit) but still get the "General Installation Error", interesting I also get update Garmin communicator.
I have 18GB free on my drive.
Any ideas what would cause the Mac Installation packages to fail?

Adobe Flash Player Update Installer

After dbl-click downloaded update file, Adobe Flash player installer DOS-like [i.e. black background] window appears - using Firefox in Windows 8 - then nothing happens
what to do ?

Download and run the offline installer from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header

Flash Player stops installation 50% of way

I have installed Chrome but Flashplayer 11 goes half way through the process and says I have to turn off Internet Explorer. I did the suggested steps as the help guide said but cannot get passed this 50% success mark. Enabled scripting(already enabled anyway) turned off pop up blocker. Java keeps bothering me to update. Is this the proplem?

Java is unrelated to Flash Player, but you should update it anyway (security fixes).
Try this: download the offline installer from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header and save to disk, then close all browser windows and run the downloaded installer.

Flash Player: Connection failed. Unable to complete installation. Mac OSX

I'm working on a mac running 10.10.1 Yosemite in Safari. My current Flash version is 15.0.0.
On most videos and pictures it now says 'Your Flash Player is out of date".
I've clicked on this icon, which opens saying do you want to download the newest version, and clicked yes.
I've downloaded Adobe Flash Player Update several times.
The downloading always works, the problem is with the installation:
It failed the first time, and all following times it 'picks up' at about 30% then goes up all the way to 97% (sometimes 99%) and then says: Connection failed. Unable to complete installation.
I've tried all the links in the forums saying download directly from here: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg - but safari can't find the link.
I wanted to deinstall Flash Player and found this link on the adobe website(Uninstall Flash Player | Mac OS): http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/support/uninstall_flash_player_os x.dmg -> but it says "Safari can't find the server fpdownload.macromedia.com" so I can't even uninstall it!
I have no idea what else to try???
I also tried to open all those links in Firefox and Chrome and they weren't found there either.
Has anyone ideas what I can do? All the links that I found in the forum which solved the problem for others are 'not found' when I click on them.
Thanks for any tipps!!!

How to perform a "clean install" of Flash Player in Mac OS X
I wrote those instructions. They're how I installed Flash Player on my new Mini.

(still) Unable to install Flash Player update (process hang)

I haven't been able to install updates for Flash Player for over a year now. Ever since the website changed to the web-install package, i've been unable to update from the download page (http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/). The file is downloaded successfully, i double click it, the security message pops up asking if i'm sure i'd like to run it (not UAC as i have that disabled -- i mean the somewhat uncommon Windows one when opening .exe files from the internet)...and then it hangs. Install_flashplayer shows up in the process list of task manager, and the file is moved to a temp location and subsequently deleted. That's it. I don't get the installation menu, nothing.
For some reason the only way i'm able to update is if i get the pop-up upon logging into my computer, telling me a new version is out, in which case it updates as expected. The problem is it sometimes takes MONTHS for this pop-up to finally appear, which means i'm left browsing the web with outdated (sometimes vulnerable) Flash components for the entire duration. On top of this, sometimes the pop-up won't simply update, but instead links me to the aforementioned site which does not work.
Any help? I've tried almost everything, including uninstalling my old version in preparation for a clean install of Flash. Nothing works. About a year ago i was able to use the offline archive instead, which worked a treat, but i can't access it anymore.
EDIT: should have included specs. I'm using Windows Vista 32bit, and i always make sure to keep everything updated. UAC is disabled, and running the installer in Admin mode has no effect. I'm using Firefox, and have ESET as my anti-virus.

http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ gets you the "Stub" installer.
You need the following:
Flash Player Uninstaller
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Right click each and "Save target as".
Save them to your Downloads folder - DO NOT RUN them yet.
Reboot your PC.
BEFORE anything else, run the Uninstaller.
Then run the ActiveX installer, and the (other browser) installer.
Note: there are all FULL "offline" installers and uninstallers. They don't need to download anything else during the install process.

Flash player update installation on Mac OS

Mac Mini, OS X 10.9.5,
Web browser: Mozilla Firefox 34.0.5
I have down loaded the latest version for Adobe Flash player (AdobeFlashPlayerInstaller_16_ltrosxd_aaa_aih) for Mac. After initializing, downloading files, etc ... finalization requires all open browsers and DashboardClient be closed. Okay, so it's clear open browsers need to be closed, but stopping DashboardClient cannot be done. Mac OS auto-restarts the application each time it is Quit using Activity Monitor.
Why does Adobe require my DashboardClient to be closed ? I do not have any widgets running in Dashboard that utilize Flashplayer. The installation does not complete and I am now seeing Firefox warnings about possible issue with an outdated Flash player version, and is disabled.
This is not a new issue, as each previous attempt to install the update, results in the same message and non successful update.

ATTENTION MAC CUSTOMERS - Flash Player 13 "Plugin Failure" Workaround

Flash Player 13 Installer fails at 55%

I have an i7 iMac, running OSX 10.9.2 and I can't get Flash player 13 to install. It fails at 55% every time. I've tried with nothing else running at all except finder. I've downloaded it three times and still no love. Adobe's "troubleshooting" site is nothing more than pictures of the install process, completely unhelpful in the event of a problem. Anyone else have a similar issue? I'm going to restart and see if that helps.

From your linked article:
"Flash Player now attempts to use CPU instructions that are not available on a subset of supported Mac hardware from 2006 to 2007. "
Since, as I stated above, I have a 2012 iMac, I'm not affected by this bug. Also, I'm not having "plugin failure" as that implies the plugin installed successfully and then failed during operation.
The problem I was having is that the installer program was failing the install process, giving no reason why, and Adobe's troubleshooting sites to which the installer links are abject garbage.
For the record, after a restart the installer completed successfully. I have a feeling that there was a memory issue somewhere or a process that was running which it didn't like.
Still no reason to have such uninformative installer information, and such completely unhelpful troubleshooting pages though.

Flash Player 16 Installer opens but won't run on 64 bit Wdws 7 and IE 11

I have Flash Player ActiveX Ver. 15.0.0.246 installed on my Dell Inspiron N7010 (Intel Core i3 processor) laptop, running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS with Service Pack 1, 6 GB of RAM, and using Internet Explorer Ver. 11.0, 32-bit browser. Flash Player notified me that it was time to update to Flash Player Ver 16.0, and took me to the website to download the installer. I first disabled my anti-virus (ESET NOD32 Ver 8.0.) and malware (Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Ver 2.0.4) software, and then clicked the 'Install' button on the website. After I gave my security software permission to let it run, it opened the blank black installer window (labeled "Adobe Flash Player Installer"). Nothing happened after that. No indications that anything was happening appeared in either the Adobe website window or the installer window. (The Adobe website window had advanced to "Step 2 of 3.") I gave it 10 or 15 minutes, then clicked the red "X" button in the upper right corner of the window to close it, but the installer window would not close. I had to use the Windows Task Manager to shut it down. I tried rebooting and re-attempting several times, but never was able to get the installer to run.
The installer ran fine on my other computer, which has the same configuration / version nos. of OS, IE, AV, A-Malware, and Flash Player, and I was able to successfully upgrade it to FP 16.0.
I have noticed that several others on this forum are having this problem, but with other combinations of OS and browsers, and I did not find a definitive solution for this problem that appeared to be applicable to my combination of software (defined above). If anyone with this combination of software has solved this problem, would you please be kind enough to provide a step-by-step description of the solution, on this forum, in layman's terms, and provide screen shots where little-known Windows, IE, or Flash Player steps / processes / menu choices are involved.
Thanks,

You write that you "downloaded", but did you also install it?

Flash Player 11 temporarily hangs IE and Chrome

I work for an IT consulting company and I've got an unusual situation that I'm trying to help a client with. My client has had slow internet problems for several weeks. She is the only one on the network having the issue. I traced the issue back to Flash Player. The sites that cause problems are the ones with flash. even the Adobe flash confirmation page causes problems. And the issue is not limited to Internet Explorer. I downloaded and installed Chrome thinking she could use it as a workaround and it had the same issue as well. Here's her specs:
Windows 7 64-bit
Internet Explorer 9
Flash Player 11
Here's what's happening: When opening a page with a flash component, the component takes a while (several minutes) to load and both IE (or Chrome) and Windows become nonresponsive until it loads. I've watched the CPU usage during the time and the CPU spikes when the Flash starts to load and stays maxed out until the Flash component has loaded.
What I've tried:
I've uninstalled and reinstalled Flash Player (including a full manual uninstall as suggested by the support documentation). I've tried downgrading IE to version 8, completely uninstalled, downloaded a fresh copy and reinstalled IE. Downloaded and tried Google Chrome browser. Updated video drivers. Ran virus scan, and checked the windows system files.
Possibly related: I don't know if it's related but I couldn't access the Settings page when right clicking on a flash component. I can access the global settings but the settings option is grayed out. I noticed this when trying to disable the hardware acceleration.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Shanehudg

We are currently fighting this issue as well, in a corporate Windows domain environment. It only seems to affect Windows 7 + Internet Explorer 8, and it started with Flash 11.2.202.228. The same issue shows up in .233 and .235. These versions of Active X flash + IE 8 + XP work fine. As a workaround we are installing Firefox and the plugin version of Flash on the Windows 7 computers and that works fine.
The symptoms are that it takes forever for pages to load that have Flash content (e.g. www.msn.com, www.adobe.com/software/flash/about) while sites like www.google.com will load immediately. The issue only shows up when logged on as a domain user. If I log on to the same computer as a domain administrator, it works perfectly, so it looks like some sort of permissions or privilege issue to me. Nothing has changed on our domain settings in that regard.
One thing that may be different about our environment is that we have a Software Restriction Policy (SRP) Group Policy Object (GPO) in Active Directory. This policy prevents programs from running in temporary directories, including the one used by Internet Explorer. Even though Firefox + Flash works, I tried adding a path exclusion to the \windows\system32\macromed\flash\ folder to bypass the SRP but this had no effect.
So, my question to Adobe would be, what is different about the way that .228 and higher versions operate, compared to previous versions?

Adobe flash player crashes or hangs!

Ok, so whilst using Firefox, lately adobe flash player has been crashing upon opening a YouTube video. This could be when i click a video and the new page opens and freezes, or when I actually get to the video but it then crashes. Alongside this, sometimes the videos are delayed to start, as in the video starts bufferng but doesn't actually start playing until later.
I've tried many proposed solutions but none seem to have worked
(Tried:
New profile
Clean Install
Clear cache,cookies, etc..
Disable plugins
Addons (video without flash, etc...)
Protected mode (for FF and Flash)
Virus scans (had nothing bad that was scanned)
Disable/ Enable hardware acceleration
Updating Flash (i'm using the latest version... 15.0.0.233)
Alongside this, i've tried using Chrome which also gives similar results, crash, hanging or the video delay at the start.
What could be wrong?
Heres a crash report i submitted (the latest one)
https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/a34c35d8-0588-4dd1-8ae9-7e0412141122

disabling flash player seems to stop the problem (should do in theory, anyway). I've disabled it and haven't had any freezes or hangs ( as it should be expected) but videos still delay a bit before they actually play, they stream and stuff but just doesn't play instantly. could this be down to my internet (im using WiFi). i assume by disabling the flash, youtube is using html5? or this other plugin i have called "shockwave for director 12.1.4.154". either way, i'm glad it doesn't crash and freeze, but getting rid of that strange delay before the video starts would be amazing.
all the plugins i have on FF.
