Flash Player downloads as matlab file won't install

Whenever I try and update my flash player to the newest version it downloads as a .mdlp file and will not open in any program but matlab. Id imagine this is a somewhat unique issue and Adobe gives no way to contact them directly. Any help would be greatly appreciated I have tried uninstalling adobe flash player but once uninstalled it downloads the whole software package as a .mdlp that only opens with matlab otherwise the file generates an error stating that it cannot be opened.

Tried it doesn't work. Thats the file after a clean uninstall reboot and attempted reinstall. No clue what to do with it.

Flash Player Auto Upgrade ver 14, Won't Install: Error- Unable to Register

The Flash Player Upgrade attempted to install but stopped and gave me an error: Unable to Register. I have been all through the forums and I believe I have tried everything suggested. These have been my attemptsOS - Windows XP Pro, latest updates loaded.
1- I read a suggestion to attempt a "clean install" . I watched the YOUTUBE video that was on the page and followed it exactly. Attempted to re-install ver 14, and recieved the same error. this is the link to the page I followed: Can not install Adobe Flash Player. Error messages are "Failed to - Microsoft Community
2- I also downloaded the SubInACL file and the reset_fp10.zip file, followed the instructions and ran the file. Attempted to re-install ver 14 and got the same error, unable/failed to register.
3- I have attempted this numerous ways, rebooting the computer in between each change, re-booting after I did all, and nothing seems to work.
4- Downloaded Mozilla Firefox at someones suggestion, attempted to download and install, still the same error.
5- When I open AOL, it attempts to install Flash Runtime and the same thing happens. Error, Failed to Register.
6- Purchased a Registry Editor/Cleaner. Ran this cleaner and it did speed up my computer. Did clean uninstall of Flash Player making sure no files were on my computer. Same error.
7- Finally, contacted Adobe by phone. The tell me they can help and try to fix the problem, but it will cost me $39.95 per instance. And, I didn't get any warm feeling that there was a gaurantee that they could fix it. In fact, i could hardly understand the indian speaking tech support.
8- I also was told that after 1pm EDT, the new Adobe help page would be up and there would be a fix on it. Now, 3:20 EDT, and the page is still not up.
Anyone have any suggestions to fix this. I want to avoud the "F" word ,,, Format and re-install from scratch just to get this fixed.

I'm using WinXP (Home Edition) with Service Pack 3, and IE ver 8. When I tried the auto upgrade to Ver 14, I got the same results as you -- "failed to register". What tickes me off the most is that the auto upgrade deleted the previous version of FlashPlayer that worked fine. Now I get no flash content using IE8,
Like you, I tried to install a previous version of FlashPlayer and got the idotic response "you need to install the latest version, Ver 14" which caused all the problems.
Maybe the brainworks at Adobe can develop a fix soon.
If not, I will never install another Adobe product on my newer Win8 computer.

Flash Player 10.0.32.18 won't install on OSX 10.4.11

I just downloaded the upgrade to Flash Player 10.0.32.18 and it won't install. It says:
Any suggestions?

FP = Flash Player. Try this method
download the FP uninstaller from http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157 (save to disk);
download the offline ActiveX installer http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe (save to disk);
close all browser windows, then run the downloaded uninstaller (to remove all previous FP versions), followed by the installer.

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,

Why won't Flash Player download?

I'm trying to download Flash Player on OS 10.6.8, but all that will download is the installer. When I click on he installer, it simply downloads the installer again. I've gone through all the suggestions on the Adobe site for this problem.

I got the same result: A small window appears, indicating that the file was downloaded. I click on that and I get another file that says to Install Flash Player. I click on that and an icon appears on my hard drive; the icon indicates that it's the same installer as before. So I click on that, and I get a file that says it's the installer. It's going in circles. Awhile back I did get in my applications folder a file labeled "Flash Player.plugin" but clicking on that brings no result.
In my applications folder I now have five icons labeled "Flash Player," all of which simply tell me to Install FP. I also have in the folder four docs labeled "Install Adobe Flash Player.app" but none of them will install FP.
I have had an older version of FP working, but when I received notice that I needed to upgrade, I tried to do that. I also took the advice on the Adobe site to use the FP Install Manager to delete that old version. The deletion worked fine; the installation of the upgrade doesn't work.

Flash Player Freezes While Buffering Then Won't Proceed Even After Computer Restart

I am having frequent problems with Flash Player freezing while watching Korean dramas hosted online (http://www.mysoju.com/empress-chun-chu/). Flash Player freezes while viewing file and then won't proceed past that point even if I close all browser windows and even if I restart my computer. Sometimes I can get around this by saving the file to my hard drive using Real Player "download this video" button. However, the download often freezes at what appears to be the same point as the freeze in the streaming Flash Player. Even if I delete this partial file from my hard drive, repeated efforts to download the file again result in instantaneous file completed messages with a new incomplete (partial) file of exactly the same size as before. I can't find where Flash Player or MS Windows Vista is storing the partial download files. Any help would be greatly aprreciated.
It appears these Flash Player freezes may be causing or resulting from DSL modem or wireless router connection problems that result in the internet light on the DSL modem not being lit. These problems seem limited to web browser pages with flash player.

Don't DL Flash from web sites. If you have Adobe Flash installed it should be in System Preferences and you can find the latest version and download from there.
If you are installing for the first time,this is where to DL it.

Can any one tell me how to install flash player on powerbookg4.i actully uninstall it to upgrade it but now i can not install new one.it always says get flash player for powerpc when i try to install it after downloading.it is 10.5.8 version

Flash Player version 10.1.102.64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users. However, this Flash version won't work for many videos on Facebook, YouTube and other sites. Adobe's latest version, 10.2.x or later, is only for Intel Macs. Adobe will not provide a newer Flash version for PPC Macs.
The message requesting that you download Adobe Flash Player takes you to Flash Player requiring an Intel processor. Doesn't work on a PowerPC processor. I found a hack, installed it & it works with Firefox, TenFourFox & Safari.
Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

I don't think you're understanding exactly what
crossdomain.xml is for...
These major sites have it wildcarded so that people can
develop Flash
applications that use those sites API's/services - and run
them from any
domain they like. So, I can develop a Flash book finder, that
grabs data
from Amazon, and stick it on my blog.
Other sites that don't want to let just anyone access their
data, specify
only the domains they want to allow access from. I use a
crossdomain.xml
file on a current project and it works as it should - only
allowing access
from the three domains I have listed.

How to get past the Flash Player Download screen when a newer version is already installed?

Does anyone know how I can get past the Flash Player Download? I already have a newer version then what is trying to load. Therefore, I get a screen telling me the same, but I still can't access the files I need. It is a vicious loop I'm stuck in. Can anyone help me?

Hi..
Are you running Lion v10.7 by chance even though your profile indicates v10.6.8 ??
I ask because you can only reinstall apps using Lion Recovery
Much better to ask for help with Safari here before trying to delete the app and reinstall.
Is the Safari app still in the Trash by chance?
