Flash Player 9 fails to properly install

I have tried everything I know to get Flash9 to
work. After uninstalling I restart my computer and install flash.
It says it was installed but when I go back to Adobe site and test
the player nothing except Shockwave comes up. I am using Netscape
and never had this problem with anyother versions. The strange
thing is that the install program dumps everything into
c:windows\system32\macromedia\flash. There is nothing in the
Netscape plugin folder. Also when I try to download Flash9 it
finishes in about 3 sec. Each time I try a fresh download I get
different results. Sometimes after installing I am asked to install
flash sometimes not. I opened a case with support but have not
heard anything as yet. This is getting to be a real pain.If there
are issues with the download file I hope they get resolved because
something just doesn't seem right.
Thanks for any help-Bob

Bentley,Thanks for the reply. I had prior to this posting
opened a case and got some information from that. I downloaded
another uninstaller and the Flash Player installer. I uninstalled
it,restarted my machine and installed flash. After that I restarted
again and the connected to net. I got a window asking if I wanted
to install flash. I clicked yes and got an error message that
install failed. After the install I went to
c;windows/system32/macromedia/flash. The files installed there
were: flash player.xpt,install file,NPSWP32.dll,NPSWP32_flashutil
and uninstall plugin. I then went to the Netscape plugin folder and
there was nothing in it for flash. I don't understand this at all.
Prior to this version I never had a problem installing flash.On
other versions once the install was done I would get window asking
me to install and then I wouls go to page to test player and it
always showed up and they worked just fine. Is something missing
from the download? Shouldn't there also be an .ocx file? Why would
the install fail to install the necessary file into the Netscape
plugin folder? Thanks for any insight into this. Bob

  • Flash player does not properly install on Firefox and Opera.

    Requirement for flash player just randomly started popping up on Firefox and Opera. I used the adobe uninstaller to uninstall flash player, reset computer then install again, but the installer finishes then when the web browser pops up to confirm in says:
    Adobe Flash Player could not be installed.
    You can troubleshoot your installation with the following resources:
    Troubleshooting Windows Installation
    Flash Player Help and Support
    Shockwave flash isn't installed in plugins but videos do load. On this "Flash Player Help" the animation does not load but videos on youtube does load and work.
    Does anyone know a solution for this?
    Thanks
    Joseph Park

    Hi Joface333,
    Please do the following:
    Close all browsers and apps that may use Flash Player (e.g. instant messaging clients, Pandora and the like).
    Run the uninstaller posted at the bottom of the Download Adobe Flash Player 15 Beta for Desktops - Adobe Labs page
    Reboot the machine
    After logging back in, check the C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash and C:\Windows\SysWow64\Macroemd\Flash directory.FlashInstall.log file should exist in both directories.  mms.cfg file should only exist in the 'syswow64' directory.  Depending on what other Adobe software, if any, you have installed there may be other CFG files and a FlashPlayerTrust directory.  If there are other Flash Player files listed, take a screen-shot and post them using the instructions previously provided.
    Run the installers posted to the bottom of this page, Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows
    If there are any errors, take a screen-shot of the error dialog and upload the screen-shot and the FlashInstall.log file from both 'system32' and 'syswow64' directories using the instructions previously provided.

  • HT5655 Adobe Flash Player not working after installing

    I've just bought a brand new macbook pro and have tried to download adobe flash many many times and it just won't work. It tells me that I need adobe Flash player so I click the link, which takes me to the adobe website, I then download it, follow all the prompts and installation is complete. But then I go back and the message appears again that I need adobe flash player!!! I am about to tear my hair out, please help!

    If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. In rare cases, you might have to log out or reboot to force a Flash update to be recognized. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 6. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    You might have to log out or reboot before a Flash update takes effect.
    Step 2
    If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
    Step 3
    If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then from the menu bar select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
    If the warning persists, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Step 4
    Open this folder as in Step 3:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
    Flash Player (failing).plugin  
    You may be prompted for your login password.
    Step 5
    Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    Step 6
    If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
    Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
    Then click the button marked
    Manage Website Settings...
    if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
    Step 7
    Select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
    Step 8
    In the Safari preference window, select
    Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    Close the window. Then select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

  • Flash Player 11 won't install, XP

    Hi, Since being prompted to update Flash Player, I now cannot install it ( FP11) . Windows XP Home edition SP3. Pentium 4. No problems with earlier versions and updates, but now I have no Flash Player at all. Error message is 'Flash Player ActiveX control could not be registered', and installation stops.
    I am logged in as an administrator, have tried safe mode as Administrator, have even downloaded SubInACL.msi and run reset_fp10.cmd in the hope it (SubInACL) would run on Home Edition. It didn't.
    I've switched off the Windows firewall, enabled the scripting etc. in IE 8, as suggested in another thread
    I've tried all the FP downloads suggested in your help, saved and run directly. All come up with the same error message and the installation stops. Hope you can help. Thank you.

    Well.... Today was Eureka day. I finally got past the Active x failing to register by downloading Microsoft Download manager and then the .msi version of the FP 11 installer. Follow the links in the following reply to someone else to get to the right file to download (for my problem, anyway). :-

    I Just found the answer long awaited for and it is in the shortcuts listed beside this question posted on the right and I will put the link here for whoever runs in similar situation.
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4788425#4788425
    It will bring you to download the full active X version afterwhat you can download the normal latest flash player version and it will register correctly.
    Well, the second suggestion  in the answers you'll see on the link was the one that worked.  Many thanks to all who helped. Yippee!

  • Help. Flash player fails to update??

    I am running Windows 7 64 bit computer. Update for Flash player failed at 65% with comment :- error failed to register-: how do I overcome this problem please

    Dear Dominic
    Brilliant reply. Simple English. Simple to follow instructions. And it worked immediately, first time.
    Why couldn't the Apple and Adobe corporations get their programming right first time? We spend billions of UK pounds and US dollars with them. They reply with incompetent programming such as this, and arrogance to their customers in issuing faulty systems without doing the most rudimentary checks.
    Anyway, I certainly shan't be buying another Apple as this is the most unreliable, most incomprehensible, most illogical and downright thoughtless shoddy piece of computer kit which I have ever owned. And all of it is rubbish ~ emails disappear, photos can't be organised properly, spreadsheets don't work, Pages is laborious… the list goes on and on...
    But thanks to you Dominic, I have been able to load Adoble Flashj… maybe eyou should get  a job at Apple, and set them all on the right course to how to work simply and correctly with customers.
    Thanks again,
    David

  • Flash Installer cannot download. "Adobe Flash Player could not be installed."

    Flash Installer cannot download. Finally get the message,  "Adobe Flash Player could not be installed." I already uninstalled the old copy, now I have no Flash Player.

    My issue was identical.... days of frustrating downloads and initializing but no installation........ UNTIL I chose to not use the default installer and chose 'Save File'. Now I have the latest Flash installed in OS 10.8.5 no problems !!
    This time a long download of 16MB arrived in the downloads folder that actually worked.
    Prior to this, all downloads were around 1.6MB and there was no .dmg in the package.
    I got my download under where it says "Still having problems?"
    Hope this helps you.
    See the attached page for reference.

    Flash Player 11 won't install on my new Samsung 2 7 ICS tablet.  Error 941.  Any clues?

    Could you try clearing your data and cache from the Google Play Store to see if that solves the problem?
    On my system I go to: Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->All->Google Play Store, then I click the Clear Data and Clear Cache buttons.

    I installed the latest version of flash player and it said installed successfully and i can use it just fine, but when I checked system requirements it didnt seem to match. it needed 2.33 ghz and I have 2.13ghz. can this cause problems to my computer? i have an intel i3 proccessor, windows 7, internet explorer.

    Since all Intel i3 processors have at least 2 cores, your specs are well above the requirements; see http://ark.intel.com/products/family/75025#@All
    I have some computers with far slower processors, and Flash Player 14 works perfectly well on them too.

  • The flash player plugin is correct installed, but firefox keeps asking to install it and then says not possible

    I have installed flash player.
    The test site of Adobe says it is correct. When I switch it off and do the test the test says "flash player is switched off, press to switch it on" when I dos so the test says that is corectly installed.
    When I open the plug-in screen there is no adobe flash player, but only shockwabe flash player, but switching this one on and off had the above mentioned effect.
    I have checked the registry (since I could not find anything about flash player in the program list, software in configuration, nor in program files and found that in the windows/system32/macromed/flash directory are the files flashutil9b.exe and flashutil_10uPlugin.exe and some other files, which gives me the idea that flash player is in effect installed.
    Nevertheless a flash file in my website keeps asking for the plugin and tells than that it cannot be found.

    An example of my website is http://www.vangelder.nl/example
    My real website is protected, but the example shows the problem.
    I hope you can give the solution.
    The big problem is, that since I have these problems (on several computers, working on XP and Vista) I suppose that the visitors on my site wil have the same problem.
    I heve been working hours to find out what the problem is, installed different players, used different formats, searched the internet for a solution and I don't want to export this problem to the visitors of my website.

  • Flash Player ask me to install the last version many times

    Why Flash Player ask me to install last version many times on IE 9, while last version (11.5.502.146) is already intalled on my Windows 7 (Service Pack 1) 64 bits. Even if I do it the message don't stop.

    I'd like to see this occur if this is still happening.  If you're up for it, send me an email ([email protected]) and we can setup a time to do a desktop sharing session.
    Thanks,

  • Adobe flash player stopped working properly please help

    i'm using adobe flash player version10.0.32.18 on vista, and everytime i open my facebook application, i often encountered adobe flash player stopped working properly, then the page will recover, then after few minutes it will stopped then recover again. please someone help me how to solve this problem.

    Hi, Thanks. Your Flash Player files and the SWO(if it is vs 10.0.45.2) are correct. Are you having problems on other sites
    or just that one? Are you getting a message that is different than "you need to update your Flash Player?"
    Many times it is the websites or if you are getting this from a game, then that can be causing the problem. I haven't been
    able to determine if the websites that have NOT updated to support the latest Flash Player are just putting out a generic
    message or not.  You might want to check with the site to see if they support FP vs 10.0.45.2.
    You may have an add on that is conflicting also, it is hard to tell. Some anti-virus programs have add ons that may conflict.
    Since several users are having problems with Facebook, Farmville, Zynga, etc. my opinion is that it is not your computer.
    One that posted here is waiting on a reply.
    Thanks,

  • Flash Player could not be installed...

    For some reason when I try to update my flash player I get an error message after I finish installing it that says Flash player could not be installed because a previous version may still be in use. I have tryed uninstalling flash player but for some reason I still get that error and I am unable to update my flash player to 10.1. The version I have right now is 10.0 something but for some reason I can't uninstall the version I have and install the newest update? Any help, I could really use it. Thanks.

    Yes, I have run the uninstaller, but once I run the install for the 10.1 Flash Player, it says that it can't install because I still have a previous version in use.
    This is what I have in my Flash folder after I run the uninstall:
    FlashPlayerTrust (Folder)
    FlashInstall (Text File)
    install (Text File)
    NPSWF32.dll (Application Extention)
    Thanks.

  • I have downloaded and installed Adobe Flash Player, but it was installed to a "disk image".  I don't know what this is and I cannot see anything that requires Flash Player.  What am I doing wrong?

    I have downloaded and installed Adobe Flash Player, but it was installed to a "disk image".  I don't know what that is, but I cannot view anything that requires flash player.  What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks for your help, but that didn't do any good either.  I have been double clicking from the download files, double clicking on the "install adobe flash player", closing the anti virus, closing Safari, watching the install progress and clicking finish.  It indicates that "flash player" is installed, but every time I try to view something requiring flash player, it tells me I must download it.  It shows up in the "system preference"  and from there I can make some changes, but it still won't let me view anything requiring "flash player".   It does not show up in my apps like Adobe Reader does.  It shows up in the "downloaded files" section of "Finder".  I'm getting really perplexed over my inability to get this right.

  • My automatic adobe flash player installer tried to install google chrome and did not allow opt out

    my automatic Adobe Flash Player updated tried to install Google Chrome without giving me the opporltunity to opt out?

    I witnessed this myself two nights ago while testing an upgrade in Windows 7.
    It HAS been reported to development, but... like 99% of the people here, we (myself and the MVP user who reported it) are just Adobe users like you, so reporting it with screenshots was the best we can do.
    I use Chrome myself, but only for testing webpages I build, and I've never used their toolbar, because it's an open portal for malware... hence the report filed with DEV.
    All we can do now is cross our fingers and hope they have it worked out by the next update cycle.

    Can't find it in the download section.
    Thx. in advance.

    Sorry, you asked for 10.0 - I posted the 10.1 download.

  • When i install flash player im told to install it again.

    Last week i installed the new flash player when i did sites that use flash player started freezing up and started asking me to install flash player. I have tried all the solutions: reset internet options, disable all addons, uninstall and reinstall flash, fixing flash player windows perimssions, manually installing flash player, nabually installing flash player while offline and its starting to annoy me. Im using IE9 and i run windows 7, i have an alienware Aurora. Im not very good with computers. I also tried the 11.5 beta and that didnt help and i reverted to an older one and the sites tell me to upgrade.

    On IE9, do you have
    Shockwave Flash Object add-on enabled?
    ActiveX Filtering disabled?
