Flash Player upgrade installation problem - Windows 7 x64 & Firefox

Hello
It is impossible to upgrade the Flash Player to version 11.7.700.224 or 11.7.700.169
The antivirus DrWeb detects the installer as a virus (Trojan Downloader) and blocks the download process, but even disabling the antivirus and stopping its services (rebooting included) another problem appear:
The OS Windows 7 x64 rejects the installation saying that there is a program or component required that is not present.
The present version of Flash Player that I have installed is 11.4.r402.265, with this version is not problem for install, uninstall or configure, but Firefox claims that the version needs to be upgraded.
Also a new and strange and disturbing function has appeared.
In the address bar of Firefox at the left has appeared an Adobe icon the request if I want or not to activate Flash for each web page that contain flash elements.
For example: In YouTube each time I open the page is nescessary to reactivate Flash for to allow the video function, if not the video screens reamain in blank.
Many pages that have active contents force to reactivate Flash a lot of times.
For example: The free web storage servers (rapidshare, hotfile, etc) have routines of showing publicity during the login and startup of the upload/download process.
Each time that I need to reactivate Flash the whole page is reset and makes incredibly slow the use of the cloud storage services.

Hello
Google Chrome has it own Flash Player built in.
So you cannot uninstall it seperatly, only deactivate it.
And it is not Flash Player v11.2.x at this time.

Flash Player upgrade/installation error

The Flash Player upgrade has called me all sorts of problems. Received error message every time I tried to download. Removed all versions of Flash Player from my system (XP) and tried to reinstall. Still getting error. I've attached a picture of the error message.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

it's CAUSED (not CALLED) me all sorts of problems.

Flash Player default installation on Windows 8

Hi,
I've upgraded my computer to Windows 8 Pro x64 with a clean fresh install.
I was surprised that Flash 11.6 was already installed (as Windows XP was shipped with Flash 8).
But the most surprising thing is that this Flash install is 'hard-installed'. We don't have Add/Remove Program for Flash player.
Is this intentional ?
Thanks,
Vincent

Yes, this is an intentional change made by Microsoft. Here's a FAQ that gives a high level overview.
How do I install Flash Player on Windows 8?

Adobe Flash Player 9: Installation Problem

I am using MAC OS X 10.3.9. I just downloaded Adobe Flash Player 9.
Instead of step 4 onwards as in the Installation Instructions, i get two files:
-flash player.plugin
-flashplayer.xpt
How do i proceed with the installation?
Thanks
Herman

Hi Herman,
I can't help you I'm afraid!
I have exactly the same problem! I've tried downloading Flash Player 9 several times and I always get the same two files - flash player.plugin and flashplayer.xpt. There's no installer (nothing that looks like the file shown in Adobe's 'installation instructions') so I don't know what to do with the files. I've read somewhere that more than one copy of Flash Player installed can cause glitches so I ran Adobe's Flash Player Uninstaller and then downloaded Flash Player 9 again. But still the same two files arrived!
Is there someone out there who can help please..? I'm absolutely baffled!
Thanks in advance... and fingers crossed x !

Mac Flash Player 11 installation problems

I installed Flash Player 11.2.202.228 on Mac that has Mac OS 10.6.8 (64-bit). I use Safari. The installation says it was successful. The Adobe Flash Player Help site detects that it was installed but I have no player. I have un-installed, installed numerous times, started up in Safe Mode, re-started the computer, checked my Internet Preferences to allow plug-ins, everything that I could find on this forum but I am having no luck. Please help. I am not an IT type so simple terms will help.

Hello,
What you meant by Adobe Flash Player Help site detects the Flash Player? Could you please, click the following link?

Can you see the rolling ball? If that's the case, Flash Player is working fine. Do you have issues with a specific site?
Thanks,

Flash Player upgrade causing problems with opening games.

Mon 12 Aug 2013
Flash Player up-graded to v.11.8.800.94 onto Safari 5.1.9 on MacOS 10.6.8 and now I cannot access brain training games from lumosity.com. Can anyone give a pointer? Pop up menu asks me to ALLOW 10kb local storage but button won't click to activate.

Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
Click Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
Back to Safari. Press Command + Option + E to empty the Safari cache.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

Adobe Flash will not install on Windows 7 x64

Hello,
I find myself in a bit of a pickle, which I have neither definitive answer nor logic to why this is happening. Whenever I install Adobe Flash I get an error message in a popup window as described below.
Host
Unable to load application configuration
First of all I thought…? This can happen if the processor clock is out on the motherboard. I rebooted and checked the time and date stamp in the BIOS and it’s correct. Everything else works fine; it’s just Adobe Flash that is causing the problem. I am running Windows 7 x64 and selected Windows 7 x64 when I installed Flash. Shockwave, Air and all other Adobe applications were fine… it’s just Adobe Flash that is causing the problem. Any Answers would be appreciated; I’m left scratching my head with dismay because I cannot for the life of me know what is causing this error message.
It’s the same for MSIE9 as well it will not install and comes up with the same error message.
Thanks
[RESOLVED]
I took a second look at the BIOS and didn’t spot this the first time I looked. The time was correct, but out by 20 seconds which was the reason why updates and installations were in disarray. I never would have thought 20 seconds would have made much of a difference. But it does and I corrected the time to the precise seconds to pinpoint accuracy, saved the BIOS and loaded the OS and tried again and it worked first time.
So the moral of this topic is, if you’re getting a message in a window which says the following…
Host
Unable to load application configuration
Check the clock on your BIOS first, if the seconds are out but the time is correct, this the likelihood of the problem is being caused by the BIOS clock.

What is the exact error you are getting?
Have you tried to run the offline installer from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#Ins tall_in_a_firewall_proxy_server_environment ?
If that still causes you an error please post your Windows version & edition.
P.S. if your Windows user account has administrative permissions, then you don't need to go into the BIOS to correct your clock; you can do it from withing Windows, either manually, or using Atomic Clock Sync.

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

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.

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?

On my Ipad I seem to be having a problem when trying to play YouTube videos embedded on Facebook.
When I click the links, I get a message saying: "Flash Player upgrade required."
and under it, it says, "You need to download and install the lastes version of Adobe Flash Player to view this content"
and also a green button saying "Get Flash Player"
I get this if using chrome or safari .
I can go direct to YouTube it just works.

The Facebook link to the video is accessing an Adobe Flash video. Unfortunately, no iOS devices can play flash.
