Flash Player v9 MSI installation fails when running as "Local System"

Hi,
I'm going to distribute Adobe Flash Player 9 via SMS.
I’m using Adobe’s own msi package:
“install_flash_player_active_x.msi”. All browsers are
IE6 (Internet Explorer v6). All systems are running Windows XP SP2
+ all updates.
I’m well aware of ISScript 10.50’s issue with the
DCom RUNAS keys.
The MSI-package works fine as long as it is executed by a
User with Admin rights (running in user environment).
But as it is installed by SMS (running as “Local
System”), it fails.
I have tried to execute it as “Local System” with
User Interface. I get the following error message:
The wizard was interrupted before Adobe Flash Player 9 Active
X could be completely installed.
Your system has not been modified. To complete installation
at another time, please run setup again.
Click Finish to exit the wizard.

I dropped the original Adobe MSI-package. Made a new, and
working, using the FlashPlayer Merge Module.

    I have followed the instructions to update Flash Player, the Installation Fails at about 90%, it says that there is an Application running (Safari) and it says to close all the apps. and start again ... but I already close all the Applications ... none is running ... can someone help me with this issue ??? Thanks ...

    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

    Hi,
    it looks like, that your "shared device" you are using is not really shared.
    The second node does "create an ASM diskgroup" and create OCR and Voting disks. If this indeed would be a shared device, he should have recognized, that your disk is shared.
    So as a result your VMware configuration must be wrong, and the disk you presented as shared disk is not really shared.
    Which VMWare version did you use? It will not work correctly with the workstation or player edition, since shared disks are only really working with the server version.
    If you indeed using the server, could you paste your vm configurations?
    Furthermore I recommend using Virtual Box. There is a nice how-to:

  • Flash Player group policy installation

    Hi All,
    Consider the following scenario:
    BigCorp deploys thier Flash player the Group Policy Software Installation (GPSI).
    BigCorp rolls out the latest version of Flash player to thier site.  Although BigCorp has followed all thier testing plans, and not noticed errors - users begin to report issues with a line of business app which uses Flash.
    Admins at BigCorp disable the policy which installed the latest version of Flash payer, and re-enable the previous version.  Affected users reboot thier machines and they hang indefinatley at the GPSI instllation stage.
    This behaviour appears to be by design, but the behaviour of the installer is not sane at this point.
    I believe that this issue is caused by the feature noted at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402435.html - since removing HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayer\SafeVersions prevents this from happening.  (Specific versions are listed, and appear to work as one might expect; i.e. remove the DWORD value at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayer\SafeVersions\10 and earlier versions can be installed)
    The reason for the indefinate wait during installation of a downlevel version appears to be that the installer is displaying a dialog box that has been suppressed by GPSI since it is, I imagine, waiting for a response from the user that it will never recieve. At this point the only way to allow the machine to complete a reboot is to either a)disonnect the network b) force the policy to fall out of scope.
    Evidence for this can be obtained from the %windir%\system32\macromed\Flash\install.log; specifically the line:
    MessageBox: 12582960,"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 latest, most secure version."
    Whilst I can understand (to some extent) the design of this feature - preventing the installation of an older client in this manner is disruptive to Adobe's clients.
    It would be advantageous if we could override this using an MSI property. For example the Safe Versions features is in effect, unless the notional IGNORESAFEVERSIONS property is set to 'YES'. (Perhaps Adobe could consider this a feature request?)
    This would afford protection for the maximum number of customers, but allow users with a business need to roll back to an older version of Flash player to shoulder the responisbility of running an older version.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html is NOT a sensible solution for customer who are relient on GPSI for Flash Player installation. Repeatedly running the downloadable uninstaller is not a sane thing to do, as far as I can tell.
    I've only tested this with the Adobe supplied MSI (not the in-browser installer) as I have thousands of machines to deploy this to.
    Does anyone else have issues with this, and how do you get around them?

    Hi,
    Apologies for digging up this thread but this issue has meant that I haven't deployed any updates to the Flash Player ActiveX since 10.0.45.2 for fear that it'll break my whole GP software deployment.
    Firstly, I don't think Adobe will ever do 'the right thing' and introduce a new MSI property to make the install ignore any existing SafeVersions registry keys because I don't think they can; the actual ActiveX install is a custom action that calls an external executable embedded within the MSI that doesn't use Windows Installer technology so it wouldn't be aware of any MSI properties.
    However, I've recently revisited this problem and I think I may have come up with a solution.
    The trick I've employed is to ensure that the HKLM\Software\Macromedia\FlashPlayer\SafeVersions registry key gets removed during the MSI uninstall routine.  To do this you need to modify the MSI to add a new row into the Registry table.
    You can do this by generating a transform using Orca, like so;
    Registry = [any unique value you like]
    Root = 2
    Key = Software\Macromedia\FlashPlayer\SafeVersions
    Name = *
    Value = [Blank]
    Component = ISRegistryComponent
    The important bit is the asterix against the Name value.  This tells the MSI to always remove that registry key upon uninstall no matter what existing values are contained within the key.  Once that key is gone you can install any other version of Flash Player you like, even older versions.
    This whole method of deployment relies on a couple of things to work though;
    You must ensure that Flash Player auto updates are turned off for all your workstations that have Flash Player installed using Group Policy. http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/167/16701594.html describes this method.  Note that for x64 machines you must place the MMS.CFG file under %systemroot%\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash and not %systemroot\SysWOW64 like the document says.  This ensures that your users don't manually update Flash Player out of your control and with an MSI that doesn't employ the fix as above.
    Ensure that all future versions of Flash Player are pushed out using Group Policy and that you use the transform file above for each one.   If you do this you can roll back to a previous version without issue.
    Assign the MSI to your computers rather than users
    I've only ever 'replaced' Flash Player in Group Policy when rolling out a new version rather than upgrade it.  This means that the existing version is completely uninstalled before the new one.  That's not to say that upgrades won't work, it's just that I've never tried it.
    EDIT: 'Upgrading' previous MSI's works fine.
    One last thing to note though is if you've already assigned Flash Player using Group Policy you can directly modify the install_flash_player_10_active_x.msi that was used to include the above registry row (ie, not using a transform) and then re-deploy it.  This ensures that the SafeVersions key will be removed right from the start if it is ever uninstalled.  Of course, if any of your users have manually upgraded to a newer version since then this won't work - in that case you'll have to remove the SafeVersions key manually, perhaps using a VB script (ideally at machine shutdown).
    I hope this information helps anyone who's had a headache with deploying Flash Player through Group Policies.
    Cheers,
    Zinc

  • Can i update adobe flash player on apple power book g4 running osx10.4.11

    can i update adobe flash player on apple power book g4 running osx10.4.11. I have tried official website. Useless. Please do not say time to get a new computer.

    *Flash Player for PPC Macs*
    Adobe's last release of Flash Player for PPC Macs was in November, 2010 with release 10.1.102.64 Subsequent releases are for Intel based Macs only.
    To check your installed version of FlashPlayer - http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about
    Read this whole post before proceeding.  You have to follow steps precisely and there is mention of an alternative version of Flashplayer at the end that some have decided to try.
    To update you should download:
    Flash uninstaller: [http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html#prob1=uninst,os=m10.6,] Make sure you get the right one.
    Flash installer 10.1.102.64 [http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_10.1.102. 64_and_9.0.289.0_archive.zip]  Open the archive to reveal yet more archives and multiple files. Select: flashplayer10_1r102_64_ub_mac.dmg
    To install:
    1) Run Disk Utility and verify your hard drive.  If the hard drive reports errors then it will need repairing first (another topic).  If it verifies, run Disk Utility's repair permissions.
    2) Back up your hard drive, ideally to a bootable clone. A bootable clone will allow you to restore your hard drive to its original state should something go wrong.
    3) Quit all applications to ensure nothing is actively using Flash. You can even do the next step while booted to Safe Mode to make sure.
    [Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393]
    [What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? (Mac OS X)|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564]
    [Safe Boot takes longer than normal startup|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107394]
    4) Run the uninstaller application. Adobe says, "Adobe recommends that you restart your computer before you install a different version of the player."
    5) Run the installer application from the .dmg file you got from the second download.
    6) Use Disk Utility to repair permissions on your computer. This is important when installing anything from Adobe.
    7) Restart your computer.
    Notes:
    Adobe installs things all over your computer. Simply dragging a file or two to the trash won't ensure you have uninstalled all old file components.

  • My flash player quit and keeps failing to install... need help please!

    Hi.  I am not able to install my flash player.  I went thru the troubleshooting tips on adobe.com/go/tn/19166, but still keep getting the message *Failed to install* .  I don't know what to do now.  I called phone support and they sent me here!  Can anyone guide me??  Thanks!!

    First let's try to see if Flash Player is correctly installed.
    When you go to this site http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ - can you see the Flash animation? What version of Flash Player does it show?
    Also, what version of Internet Explorer are you using?

  • Adobe Flash Player 10.2 installation flaw

    When I downloaded AFP 10.2 everything was fine, that is until the installation.
    After I "installed" it, "The ActiveX control for Flash Player could not be registered" popped up.
    I did everything I saw on other forums, but to no avail. I am currently in a sticky situation here.
    Also, my OS is Windows 7 Professional 32-Bit and I'm using Internet Explorer 9.

    Hi, thanks for checking. Well Microsoft says if you can see the Clock then you are using the Administrator Account. And it is this Account that has Permission to Install Flash Player, since the Installer writes to the Windows Registry. That's the purpose of the Clock test.
    Now, have you had any malware/virus issues?
    What Anti-Virus/Spyware programs are Installed?
    Sometimes they can block Flash Player from Installing the ActiveX Control.
    Thanks,

  • Flash Player seems to install but when trying to play tv shows it doesn't register and asks me to install again.

    I have a Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.3, i have no problem viewing videos on youtube but when i try and watch movies or tv shows streaming them off websites, it seems to come up with this message.
    'Please install flash player HD to continue (required),'
    when i click the install button it leads me to this page
    'You are currently using Apple Safari to browse the web. An outdated video player may be slowing the browser's performance.'
    i have tried using safari, firefox and google chrome and all say the same thing.
    i downloaded and installed both the flash player and the one from safari both seemed to install without a problem but when i go back and try and view the video it shows the same message.
    Please help
    Thank you

    Hi oliviay29570750,
    "flash player HD" is not a valid Adobe product.  Flash Player is just known as Flash Player, not Flash Player HD. Can you please post a screenshot (How to post a screenshot in the forum) of the pop-up message and the page you go to when you click on the link (including the URL of the page)?
    Thank you.

  • I have a production mobile Flex app that uses RemoteObject calls for all data access, and it's working well, except for a new remote call I just added that only fails when running with a release build.  The same call works fine when running on the device

    I have a production mobile Flex app that uses RemoteObject calls for all data access, and it's working well, except for a new remote call I just added that only fails when running with a release build. The same call works fine when running on the device (iPhone) using debug build. When running with a release build, the result handler is never called (nor is the fault handler called). Viewing the BlazeDS logs in debug mode, the call is received and send back with data. I've narrowed it down to what seems to be a data size issue.
    I have targeted one specific data call that returns in the String value a string length of 44kb, which fails in the release build (result or fault handler never called), but the result handler is called as expected in debug build. When I do not populate the String value (in server side Java code) on the object (just set it empty string), the result handler is then called, and the object is returned (release build).
    The custom object being returned in the call is a very a simple object, with getters/setters for simple types boolean, int, String, and one org.23c.dom.Document type. This same object type is used on other other RemoteObject calls (different data) and works fine (release and debug builds). I originally was returning as a Document, but, just to make sure this wasn't the problem, changed the value to be returned to a String, just to rule out XML/Dom issues in serialization.
    I don't understand 1) why the release build vs. debug build behavior is different for a RemoteObject call, 2) why the calls work in debug build when sending over a somewhat large (but, not unreasonable) amount of data in a String object, but not in release build.
    I have't tried to find out exactly where the failure point in size is, but, not sure that's even relevant, since 44kb isn't an unreasonable size to expect.
    By turning on the Debug mode in BlazeDS, I can see the object and it's attributes being serialized and everything looks good there. The calls are received and processed appropriately in BlazeDS for both debug and release build testing.
    Anyone have an idea on other things to try to debug/resolve this?
    Platform testing is BlazeDS 4, Flashbuilder 4.7, Websphere 8 server, iPhone (iOS 7.1.2). Tried using multiple Flex SDK's 4.12 to the latest 4.13, with no change in behavior.
    Thanks!

    After a week's worth of debugging, I found the issue.
    The Java type returned from the call was defined as ArrayList.  Changing it to List resolved the problem.
    I'm not sure why ArrayList isn't a valid return type, I've been looking at the Adobe docs, and still can't see why this isn't valid.  And, why it works in Debug mode and not in Release build is even stranger.  Maybe someone can shed some light on the logic here to me.

  • Why would I have to download latest verison adobe flash player twice in one day when I already had?

       I play a game called Castville and I play on Zynga.com on mozilla firefox.  About a week ago after
