Flash Update Fails

I, and it seems several others, am having a problem updating
my virgin CS3 Flash install to 9.0.2. using Adobe Flash Player
Update for Flash CS3 Professional. Upon launching the AdobePatcher
file and authenticating it pops up a dialog that reads "An error
occurred during installation. The update cannot be applied to the
product." Running Adobe Updater doesn't indicate it even needs an
update. The AdobeSoftwareUpdate.log dump is as follows:

I've got the exact same error and also same log entries
running 10.5.2 on a PowerMac G5.
I've seen several other post along the same lines, people
having problems with the update. So far, no answers to any of
them.

Adobe flash update fails

Flash update keeps asking me to quit safari. But Safari is not running
Anybody else with the same problem?

I feel your pain and have a solution that should work. I have been battling this for several weeks now, finally gave up, and wrapped up a call with an engineer an hour or so ago. Come to find out, regardless of what the O/S tells you in Activity Monitor about Safari, Dashboard, or both "not" running, these processes are in fact being called.
It seems that, at least in my case, on an up-to-date OS X / Safari combo, and with The Weather Channel widget installed, you will never get the newest Adobe Flash Player update to install. As soon as you remove The Weather Channel widget, the Adobe Flash update process will again work normally.
It makes absolutly no sense, but I and the engineer were able to reproduce the fix on my two systems and reproduce both the issue and the fix on his. I suspect this is a issue with The Weather Channel widget - or at least how it is interacting with the O/S and Safari. I suggest checking for any installed/active widgets that grab/stream any soft of content via the web, removing them, and re-running the Flash updater. I hope this helps.

Cannot publish Flash Updates Verification of file signature failed for file SCUP 2011, SCCM 2012 R2 and WSUS all on same Windows Server 2012 machine

I am attempting to distribute Adobe Flash updates using SCUP 2011, SCCM 2012 R2, WSUS ver4 and Windows Server 2012. Everything installs without error. I have acquired a certificate for SCUP signing from the internal Enterprise CA. I have
verified the signing certificate has a 1024 bit key. I have imported the certificate into the server's Trusted Publishers and Trusted Root CA stores for the computer. When I attempt to publish a Flash update with Full content I receive the following
error:
2015-02-13 23:00:48.724 UTC Error Scup2011.21 Publisher.PublishPackage PublishPackage(): Operation Failed with Error: Verification of file signature failed for file:
\\SCCM\UpdateServicesPackages\a2aa8ca4-3b96-4ad2-a508-67a6acbd78a4\3f82680a-9028-4048-ba53-85a4b4acfa12_1.cab
I have redone the certificates three times with no luck. I can import metadata, but any attempt to download content results in the verification error.
TIA

Hi Joyce,
This is embarrassing, I used that very post as my guide when deploying my certificate templates, but failed to change the bit length to 2048. Thank you for being my second set of eyes.
I changed my certificate key bit length to 2048, deleted the old cert from all certificate stores, acquired the a new signing cert, verified the key length was 2048, exported the new cert to pfx and cer files, imported into my Trusted publishers
and Trusted Root Authorities stores, reconfigured SCUP to use the new pfx file, rebooted the server and attempted to re-publish the updates with the following results:
2015-02-16 13:35:44.006 UTC Error Scup2011.4 Publisher.PublishPackage PublishPackage(): Operation Failed with Error: Verification of file signature failed for file:
\\SCCM\UpdateServicesPackages\a2aa8ca4-3b96-4ad2-a508-67a6acbd78a4\3f82680a-9028-4048-ba53-85a4b4acfa12_1.cab.
Is there a chance this content was already created and signed with the old cert, so installing the new cert has no effect? In ConfigMgr software updates I see 4 Flash updates, all marked Metadata Only (because they were originally published as "Automatic."
No Flash updates in the ConfigMgr console are marked as downloaded. I can't find any documentation on how the process of using SCUP for downloading content for an update marked Metadata Only actually works.
Comments and suggestions welcome.

any idea ?

I did the same thing, TAC support said they've had like 20 people complain about this. He said "there is no reason to update the boot code on a 3005 model. It is only needed on the 3015 and higher models to support RAM chips larger than 256MB." TAC support said DO NOT UPDATE the boot code on the 3005.
I suggested that they make note of this SOMEWHERE in their documentation. He provided me with some hidden low-level commands to erase the boot code, but as he said the 3005 doesn't need v4 of the boot code, and the boot code hasn't been tested for it, it's possible it would just break the concentrator. He then added the only way to 'fix' a damaged boot code is to replace the entire unit. He suggested we not touch it anymore, and leave the boot code running as-shipped.

Flash CS4 10.0.2 update failed to install

The flash CS4 10.0.2 update fails to install no matter how many times I try or restart my machine. A flash media encoder update and a flash lite update also fail. Can someone please help me figure out how to fix this?
I've searched the forum, and I'm aware of this thread
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/432619?tstart=0
but it does not provide a solution that works for me. I posted there, but I wasn't sure it would be answered because the thread was listed as already answered.

If anyone else searches and finds this, I was able to fix my problem by running the clean script
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html
and then reinstalling flash cs4.
Also, adobe effectively does not have a technical support phone line. They have one in name only. You'll just be put on hold endlessly, disconnected randomly, and given the runaround constantly if you ever do manage to get through to a live person. Like everyone else, adobe has apparently outsourced their support to people who have no idea how to troubleshoot anything, and can barely parrot from a prewritten script. There is no light at the end of the phone tree - you can't get water from a stone, so don't waste your time like I did.

[bug ?] Windows 7 update fails on Flash Player 32/64-bit plugin

Hi!
Windows 7 (x32) update fails on
     Adobe Flash Player 32-bit Plugin 11.0.1.152
     Adobe Flash Player 64-bit Plugin 11.0.1.152
with error codes 6BA and 80070661.
Hangs in my update center since November 2011.
Feel free to ask for any details.

Update4: Most likely the problem is on our side, see my post below.
Thanks, Jeromie, it has worked. [see update below]
However, it would be interesting to know what gone wrong and how could I prevent this.
Also, I don't know how Flash updates work, but it would certainly be good, if I could update from my Windows Update server.
Consider my company: most users (about 250) have weekly internet-traffic limit of about 50 MB (no problems with bandwidth, only to force people not to visit entertainment sites).
Hence, most users will ignore Flash Player updates, just to save few precious MBs.
Update:
Errors have returned few hours later after reinstall [1].
I've noticed that update process passes "download" and "creating recovery point" phases,
and error occurs on about 30% of installation of 32-bit plugin update.
If you'll point me at some system log, I'll be happy to provide more info.
Update3:
Maybe the problem is in our Windows Update server ?
[1] I've unistalled both "Flash Player 11 Plugin" and "Flash Player 11 ActiveX",
     maybe I should have also uninstalled AIR ?
     Edit2 I've uninstalled both and then rebooted once. Maybe I should have rebooted
     after each uninstall (i.e. 2 reboots in total) ?

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

BIOS Flash Update Utility "Failed to Read BIOS"

As the title says.
The computer has been flakey on startup recently, so I want to update the BIOS.
I run the Thinkpad BIOS Flash Update Utility on my Thinkpad Yoga, it returns an error saying "failed to read the BOS".
Can anyone suggest a work around?

I am told that the update burn down the motherboard looks like a serious update
those who are going to do a bios update should think twice... I have done it a million times before.. never had a problem.
the worst part : I have a 160GB intel ssd that I bought to use with the new w510 is sitting idle on my desk.
ABOVE ALL , I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE WARRENTY SERVICE TO REPLACE THE PARTS AND SEND IT BACK TO ME...
I can't believe that I am going through this.. I am like a handycapped these days.
I ordered this laptop three months ago when it was introduced, by the time I ordered it went out of stock... I had to wait three whole months to get the laptop. I didn't even use it.

Update failed after switching to nightly channel according to the MDN (Flame)

Good Evening Firefox OS Pro's :)
I just got my new Flame, flashed the base image (http://cds.w5v8t3u9.hwcdn.net/Flame_2.0_v180_1.zip) and the rest (http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/b2g/nightly/latest-mozilla-b2g32_v2_0-flame-kk/) according to the MDN (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Developer_phone_guide/Flame#Updating_your_Flame's_software).
The phone boots and everything is working fine. However after executing the steps under the headline "Switch to nightly update channel" I got an update notification, but the update failed to install with the error message: "there was an error while downloading the updates".
Edit: The error message appeared during the "Uncompressing...". After it failed the notification is there again.
So... I noticed that the update channel was nightly-b2g32 before I changed it with the script to nightly. What is the difference between these two? Is nightly the wrong channel for 2.0?
Thanks in advance :D

nightly-b2g32 is 2.1 I think.

[SOLVED] MSI Z97 Gaming 9 AC - Bios Update Fail

Hi,
today i decided to do a bios update of my board.
A friend of me told me NOT to use the Windows-Flash tool cause he killed two borads with it.
Ok so i used the flash utility from the bios/uefi menu with a usb-stick (M-Flash).
Everything looked ok - flash tool was running and told me success/complete and it will now reboot/reset.
At this time i wasn't able to boot anymore
It was like the board tried to read the flash but failed, reset, failed ...
Lucky for me there is this little switch for the bios chip.
Everything worked with the backup chip and i tried to reflash the broken master chip.
-> Using the MSI E-Setup with Mode "In DOS Mode. (USB)".
Booting up the usb stick and switched to master bios chip when i was seeing the "alert - only continue when you know what you are doing bla bla"-message.
Wasn't able to flash anything cause of error:
Quote
ROMID is not compatible with existing BIOS ROMID
Asking google i should use the /X option (/X - Don't Check ROM ID).
Now i got a new error
Quote
Rom image layout detected RomHole is redesigned
With this message i should use the /K option (/K - Program all non-critical blocks) i was told ... now a was able to flash the chip
And the result was: fail
I found the "HQ USB flashing tool" here and tried to flash the broken chip again (switching the bios switch from backup to master after booting), but also no luck for me ...
After a break i had an idea - at which time i can switch from the backup chip to the master chip?
The bootcode "A2" was the right for me
At the bios/uefi setup all my fans were running at full speed and i was sure this is because of the broken master chip.
So again i tried the M-Flash tool from the setup - f**k it will reset/reboot before the flash progress will start - but now i know the time to switch from backup to master chip
The tool started and i saw the same messages (everything ok, reset/reboot) as i tried it the first time.
Reboot - SUCCESS!
I wasted about three hours of my live to brick and unbrick the master chip, but i don't know why this happend
Maybe this post will help someone to fix a failed bios update.
YourName

Thanks for sharing
I used M-Flash a couple of times, just remember DON'T remove usb-stick until it reboot successfully to os....

9.1.2 Update Fails in Acrobat Pro 9

I am running a standalone version of Acrobat Pro 9 on an iMac running Mac OS X 10.5.8. I am trying to update Acrobat Pro 9 from 9.1.1 to 9.1.2 without success. I have had problems with EVERY SINGLE update from 9.0.0 whether from help>check for update OR from a direct download from Adobe.
When attempting to install 9.1.2 I receive the following message:
The patch has failed because the application has been modified since it was originally installed (for example, plug-ins may have been disabled). Please go to the Adobe support website for more information regarding how to re-enable disabled components prior to installing the patch. Or, you can uninstall and reinstall the application, and then reinstall the patch.
The console log has the following messages:
04/09/2010 12:04:34 PM defaults[17997]
The domain/default pair of (/Volumes/AcroProUpd912_all/Acrobat 9 Pro Patch.app/Contents/Resources/RegExList, 1) does not exist

04/09/2010 12:04:47 PM Acrobat 9 Pro Patch[17975] Install script failed with exit status: 1
I decided to do a complete uninstall and reinstall of a more up-to-date version of Acrobat Pro 9 from the Adobe site, but the uninstaller claims Adobe Acrobat Pro.app is an invalid file.
I've read countless messages online with similar stories and I find it incredible that there are so few solutions to all of these problems.
Contrary to my nature, I am hopeful someone can help.
Thanks.
P.S. - it's hard not to be sympathetic to Apple's latest contretemps with Adobe Flash...

graffiti, KamakuraKid, phillip -
thanks for all the tips - unfortunately none of the suggestions worked.
i first deleted the AUMProduct.aup file - the update failed.
i hoped a new admin account would do the trick, but was surprised to again encounter the "The patch has failed..." error.
as far as the python errors in console, i don't have these.
as a last resort i ran the uninstaller program, but it does not think Adobe Acrobat Pro.app is a valid program file!
i'd drag it to the waste basket, but am sure some piece left hanging somewhere would come back to haunt me.
not sure what to do now...

Unable to open PDF files after update failed

I have not be able to open any of my many PDF files after last update. The update failed - error message "Error 1327.Invalid Drive:F\". Drive F is where I plug in my flash drive, there is nothing in drive F. I am working on my Ed.D and have 100's of PDF files pertaining to my research. I need to be able to open these files. I use a lot of these every day. I can't unstall the program -- get the same error message, can't repair it. Nothing works. Can anyone tell me what to do. I need a answer fast.

Some people in other posts have suggested to insert a USB drive into F drive.

Flash Update Issue

I have just dowloaded the latest Flash update (11.3.300.262) but keep getting an assertion failed message. My pc is running windows vista and the browser is Firefox. How can I fix this please?

''the-edmeister [[#answer-718249|said]]''
<blockquote>
Older Flash plugins are supposed to be removed as part of a Flash update, but sometimes they don't actually get removed.
Grab the Adobe uninstaller from here to remove Flash entirely.
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
Then reinstall the latest versions, for both Firefox and for IE, is you still use IE for anything needing Flash.

i said that reinstalling fixed it already, i uninstalled & then reinstalled, but thx for the info

Safari will not load pages after flash update yesterday

I am trying to access pages like CNN.com...with the nice background image on the home page...it does not load the images. Also, articles like "34 sports photos" do not load the flash player so I can see the photos.
how do I fix that or revert?

If you can't install or update Flash, follow these instructions.
If you have installed the latest version of Flash, please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test.
For a "blocked plug-in" error, see Step 4.
For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 8.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
You might have to log out or restart the computer before a Flash update takes effect.
Step 2
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
and confirm. Close the window. Then select
           ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced ▹ Delete All...
In the sheet that opens, check the box marked
          Delete All Site Data and Settings
then click Delete Data. Close the preference pane.
Step 3
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 4
a. If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then select the Security tab in the Safari preferences window. In the list of plugins on the left, there should be one—and only one—entry for "Adobe Flash Player," showing the same version number that you installed. Select that entry. On the right there will be a list of websites for which you have specifically allowed Flash, if any. It's normal for the list to be empty. Below that is a menu labeled
          When visiting other websites
From that menu, select either Allow or Ask.
b. If you still get the alerts, then go back to the Flash Player preference pane and select the Advanced tab. Click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
c. If the alerts still persist, 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 and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
In the Safari preferences window, select the Advanced tab and uncheck the box marked
          Stop plug-ins to save power
Step 6
Open this folder as in Step 4:
/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 7
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 8
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 9
Select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.

S850 Update FAILS

I'm getting really sick with the Lenovo crappy products and poor support!!! And since nobody answered in the other guy's thread, here's a new one! My S850 says that there's a new firmware update, but when I try to install it I get a red circle with X in it and message "Update failed"! My phone is NOT rooted, NOT encrypted, NO system apps has been removed. It's running on the original firmware and it's factory resetted. Tried to update it both via PC (LSA) and the built-in update manager. Unpacking the update file passes, but it fails on installing (always at 59%)! Now someone PLEASE tell me how the hell am I supposed to update this friggin piece of not so good?!

Hi Vasileff
Sorry for the late reply.
THIS is the latest S850 S215 update.
USB Drivers:This are the V 1.0.11 & V 1.0.9 driver version.....If you connect your phone to the PC you should have a ''Lenovo Suite'' or similar drive(on the PC) where you can also find the phone's drivers(autorun... .exe file).Don't know what version is included on your current S850 firmware build but some versions of the drivers don't seem to ''work'' on some computers(Windows 7&8).That's why I included the 1.0.9 and 1.0.11
Flash Tool drivers:Flash Tool/SPM Drivers (like the phone's autorun/autoinstall)
FLASH TOOL
You can find the instructions HERE.(Please flash the latest S215 firmware from the first link )
Install drivers....
Don't forget to mark ''DA DL All With Check Sum'' in the Flash Tool.
I suggest using Firmware->Upgrade.
Let me know how it goes.
