Flash Player will download, but won't install.

I uninstalled Flash Player with Adobe's Uninstaller, and attempted to reinstall Flash Player. The .exe downloads just fine, but when I run it, it gives me this error message:
ABORT: Assertion failed (WebBrowser -> WebBrowserObject != NULL)
Unable to embed web browser    (.\ie\iewebbrowser.c/311)
I use Windows 7, FireFox 32, and am trying to install the latest version of Flash. What is the problem?

I was unable to see any kind of Flash content on this page when inspecting the page source.
I would ensure that your server is serving the correct mime-type for .swf files (application/x-shockwave-flash), and that you were using a recommended method for embedding the SWF into the page, like SWFObject: swfobject - SWFObject is an easy-to-use and standards-friendly method to embed Flash content, which utilizes one small…

  • Logic Pro X additional content will download but won't install

    Hi,
    I have Logic Pro X (10.0.1) installed on my 2012 Macbook Pro i7 2.6Ghz 8Gb Ram. I am able download the addition content but now just hangs & it has only installed the producer patches, surrond reverbs, garage band 11 sounds & instruments & the jam packs which I believe were there from my Logic Pro 9.
    I have read support forum threads where peiople have downloaded it in smaller sections 1 or 2GB at a time with success, I have tried this & in smaller sections with no success.....it just still hangs saying "installing Orchestra" or whatever section I'm trying to install.
    Can anyone help?
    I went through **** to install the program itself as the initial installion just hung too on the "Essential Sounds and Instruments for Logic Pro & Mainstage", I finally installed after getting the content download link from a support thread.
    Apple support is s***, I emailed about them about the download (after spending my £139.99) only to wait 24 hours for them to say delete it & try again (like we wouldn't have though of & done that already). After repling to say that & waiting another 24 hours they said here is an email address to our Tech support or a premium number to call WFT!!!!
    Now the additional content won't install, between my Macbook Pro & Logic Pro X the money I've spent - Apple are taking the ****.
    Please can some one help?
    Thanks

    Install on my Core2Duo 17" MacBook Pro went flawlessly, but install on my 8 Core Mac Pro suffered this problem.  Many thanks for the solution Don, it worked for me ;-)
    I am trying hard to supress an ironic chuckle though, reading other posts in this thread .... suggesting that people should call Apple Tech Support and expressing incredulity that people weren't doing this as their first option.
    Well I can say say that after several calls to Apple Tech Support, amounting to several hours on the phone, and well over an hour on the phone with them today, I was informed that this problem is a known bug, and that Apple are working on a solution.  They couldn't tell me what the bug is, what machines are affected, or what else might trigger it, or when a bug release might be due.
    Their troubleshooting steps basically involved various reboots, repairing disc permissions, reseting the user home directory via terminal, booting up in recovery mode (but not safe mode as per this solution) trashing various preferences files, and, as a final step, uninstalling and reinstalling from scratch.
    Only when all that failed was I told that there is a known bug that Apple are working on.
    I came here to see what the community was saying, as the Tech Support guy did say there was likely to be some info on the forums.  Lo and behold, a solution is posted and it works.
    Why are Apple's Tech Support (in the UK at least) not aware of this?
    Oh well, at least I'm up and running on my Mac Pro now.
    Thanks again Don,
    Cheers,
    Nigel

  • TS2662 Adobe flash player will download but if try and use it, it keeps telling the latest version must be downloaded.

    I am haveing a frustrating time with my Imac, bought at christmas this year, just this week the mouse has started to freeze while trying to move the pointer, If i lift the mouse off the surface and hold if for a couple of seconds I can then put it back down and pointer can be moved another short distance, the scroll function on the mouse works all the time though, replaced batteries, turned computer off and on a number of times, no luck.
    Thanks

    It's best to focus on one issue at a time ... the Adobe Flash and mouse issues probably are not related.
    Flash:
    Uninstall Flash, reboot, and install new from Adobe.
    Uninstall: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html
    Install: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    If that doesn't fix it, download Chrome from https://www.google.com/chrome . Chrome has an integrated version of Flash, which is a good test to see if Flash is the root issue or not.
    Mouse:  If what you describe is repeatable, take the mouse into an Apple store and see if it's the problem. If it is, it's under warranty, get a new one.

  • Photoshop will download but won't install

    I have downloaded illustrator and it is working properly but I can't install any others. I've downloaded photoshop 3 times but it wont install. It says error with illustrator at stop installation at 1% every time. it keeps popping up close ilflustrator to continue installation. I've restarted every time to ensure illustrator couldn't be running as it hasn't ixed the problem. Can someone help I'm sick of having to keep downloading the same thing

    For your next step I would recommend you review your installation logs to determine the cause of the failure.  You can find details on how to accomplish this at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html.

    If you want help, then post any relevant information, i.e. your operating system & version, browser & version, plus any other information we don't know.

  • Mac OS X update downloads but won't install

    When I try to update Mac OS X combined update 10.7.4 on MBP, it downloads but won't install. I get a message that says it couldn't expand and may be corrupted. This has happened multiple times now.
    I thought it might be due to lack of space on the hard drive so i cleared some space (there's now at least 49GB space) and it still won't work. I also have updates for Motion Supplemental Control and Final Cut Pro X supplemental that do the same. Tried doing it one by one, and tried downloading myself but the problem seems to be the expanding installing not the downloading.
    Anyone else had this problem and solved it??

    You may have a permissions issue that's preventing access to the downloaded files.
    Open Disk Utility from the Utilities and click the "Repair Disk Permissions" option.
    Once complete, try installing the update again.

  • Flash player v10.02.159 won't install - how can I install an older version?

    Hi all, any help will be appreciated.
    I've read all the relevent posts in this forum and tried the various suggestions. (used the Adobe uninstaller, used the various packages on the x64 help page; clean installs and uninstalls with RevoUninstaller Pro) shockwave for director is on Firefox, but would not even download on IE. (I don't use IE anyway, but...)
    I am running XP pro x64. I have Firefox v3.6.16 and Internet Explorer v 8 32 bit. I don't have the 64 bit installed.
    When I updated to v 10, it wouldn't install on either browser. The error message for the Flash player 10.2 installer reads:
    I am also running Chrome. I never updated the player, so it works on there (thank goodness!) (Nothing shows in the extensions folder)
    I tried to install an older package, flashplayer 9r280_win.exe and Brothersoftdownloader_for_Adobe_Flashplayer. - clean installs and uninstalls each time., also with no luck.
    Can someone tell me how to install an older version until the 64 bit version works for me? Or - if there is a fix that has not been posted yet - I'm game to try.

    You could try if the MSI installer works better; download it from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
    If it does not, archived FP versions can be found at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html

  • Flash Player is enabled but won't work on Win7 running IE 11

    I have reloaded flash player and followed online directions to ensure security settings are correct and disabled Active X

    "User-Agent Strings"
    That doesn't mean a lot, I'm sure, but it's the root of your problems, and Flash Player has nothing to do with it.
    Microsoft "rewrote" the User-Agent Strings for the abomination they call their latest and greatest browser. User-Agent Strings are what websites use to identify the browser you're using and provide the proper content for it's browser engine, like ActiveX stuff, and Flash or HTML5 video. Thanks to the geniuses in Redmond, WA, the User-Agent Strings for IE11 (which has a Trident engine), ID it as either "Gecko" (Firefox) or "Webkit" (Chrome). Problem is: when the site the directs to the content for one of these two engines, the Trident engine in IE can't intepret it and the site then sees IE as an "unidentified" browser.
    The problem with an unidentified browser is that the plug-ins in that browser aren't recognized either, so even though you're up to date, it says you need the latest Flash Player when you use IE11. YouTube... has converted to HTML5 video so if it doesn't detect Flash Player, it can display HTML5 (MP4) video which requires no plug-in to play. Facebook can't do that, because HTML5 doesn't apply to games... only video.
    Microsoft has no plans to "fix" the mess thay've created because they think it's a great idea to block you out of the websites you visit.
    They recommend using "Compatibility View" and pretending that you're using an older verison of IE... Problem with that is that it's seen limited success, and you have to enable it for EVERY page that has problems... individually.
    I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
    Firefox (from Mozilla)
    Opera (from Opera)
    Safari (from Apple)
    Chrome (from Google)
    ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

  • HT1338 Itunes 11 & Mac OS X 10.7 downloaded, but won't install. I get message "folder cannot be created"

    I've downloaded updates for iTunes & Mac OS X 10.7. But they won't install.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    The latest iTunes version is 11.0.1 version. 11.0.2 does not exist. Have you tried opening Apple menu > Software Update and install iTunes 11.0.1? If it doesn't show up, you have already iTunes 11.0.1
