Getting essential parameter error during flash player download

What is the problem when receiving the message "can't retrieve essential parameter (16248.301.545)" when attempting to download Adobe flash player?

Hi, Download and SAVE the Uninstaller to your Desktop:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Download and SAVE the Installer for IE to your Desktop ( Use the EXE Installer)
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
Download and SAVE the Installer for the non-IE browsers to your Desktop from the same link as IE (Use the EXE Installer)
Close all browser windows, disable any messenger services in your system tray(area near the clock)
If you use Norton or McAfee, disable them also.
Be sure to use the Administrator Account.
Then RUN the Uninstaller and when finished, Reboot(restart) your computer.
Then RUN the Installer for IE, then the Installer for the non-IE, then Reboot.
Test here when finished: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
If you have any questions, provide your OS and browser versions of the non-IE ones when replying back.

Network error during flash player installation

I accidentally deleted the previous version of flash player and am now trying to download the new version. Can anyone help me with a 'network error' I am getting during installation on internet explorer 8. There is no problem with the network as I am working on the internet with no other problems. According to IE8, it has a cipher speed of 128-bit. I have tried the following:
- turning off anti-virus software
- changing security settings as per a previous post
- manually installing (could not download the file)
- running the uninstall software even though no other version is showing on my list of applications - could not access the .exe file
- using a different web browser. The problem was worse in the case of Opera and Firefox as the download did not start at all in those cases
This is very frustrating and does not seem to be a common problem. Can anyone help me?

I've down loaded adobe flash player but when I try to veiw video on firefox I'm still told that I need adobe flash player. How do I get firefox to see the flash player download?

I was trying to view a video I uploaded to facebook using firefox. The system told me to down load adobe flash player. I did but still get the message that I need to down load flash player. How do I get firefox to see the down loaded adobe flash player?

by installing from within Firefox, Internet Explorer has its own version (Active-X).
Make sure you are starting in the correct place for Flash
* http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
If you want to read PDF files in you browser, you might also want
* http://get.adobe.com/reader/
After the download,
#bring up the download manager ("Ctrl+J") and start your installs. As soon as the install comes up,
#close Firefox with '''File > Exit''' or "Firefox" button > Exit. Give Firefox some time to close.
#If install does not proceed, '''terminate "firefox.exe"''' and '''"plugin-container.exe"''' from the "Processes" tab in the Windows Task Manager.
#* Windows 7 shortcut to the WTM is "Ctrl+Shift+Esc"
#* or on any Windows system from "Ctrl+Shift+Esc" then choose Windows Task Manager.
#*Make sure that "firefox.exe" is no longer running -- if it is still running then terminate it by selecting the use "End Process" button or from context menu, and do the same for "plugin-container.exe" if it is found there.
#proceed with the install.
'''Warning''': this is the Adobe site and they have chosen to to provide crapware along with their own product. Only install the product you were planning to install. Do not install additional products: including -- "Free! McAfee Security Scan Plus" or "Google Chrome". Installing Google Chrome on your own and installing it because it is offered on the Adobe site are two different things.
Find updates for your installed plugins at http://www.mozilla.com/plugincheck/ mozilla.com/plugincheck
-- best to use Adobe's site to really see if their plug-ins are up to date.
Please fix your caps lock or read what you type, do you think anybody could read my answer if I typed in all caps.
If the above fails to correct the problem, I would try uninstalling Adobe Flash from your system entirely first, from the control panel then "Programs and Features".

Error on Flash Player download page

Dear Adobe,
I have discovered an error on the download page for flash:
On the page you are given the option to download other totally unrelated software such as McAfee and Google Chrome. And even worse you have to actively remove the checkmark to avoid downloading this 3rd party software before you hit the download button. Truly, this can't be the intended behaviour of the download page, as people go there solely to download the flashplayer and the page is advertised as having this function only.
Otherwise, if this is the intended behaviour of the page, Adobe should be very much ashamed of themselves. The only people actually downloading the 3rd party software are people who is either
a) to much in a hurry to read the page and just hit the download button.
b) inexperienced users that might not even discover that this 3rd party software is being installed.
It is never good customer care to force things on the costumers are not interested in and/or exploiting customers ignorence. Since I would never expect such a behaviour from solid and reputable coorporation as Adobe I can only assume that it in fact _is_ an error on the download page for the Flash player.
I'm expecting you to correct this error as soon as possible.
regards,
5une

[TECHNOTE ANNOUNCE] Error installing Flash Player "The download did not pass the integrity check (16236.304.443)

All,
I've published a new technote for folks who are having trouble with the Adobe Download Manager and Flash Player.
Error installing Flash Player "The download did not pass the integrity check (16236.304.443)
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/512/cpsid_51258.html
Essentially this technote links to the Windows troubleshooting technote here:
http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_19166
However, before today the Windows troubleshooting technote only had an EXE install for the ActiveX version of Flash Player 10. I have now added a link to download the EXE version of the Flash Player Plugin installer as well.
Please point other users with integrity check errors to the first technote.

Thank you for the update & Tech Note Announcement. I do have a couple of questions, if you could please respond.
After uninstalling and ready to download; reading from the link you provided on 9/4/09, Should we follow the normal download instructions
per #2. "Flash Player download Center" and if a successful installation is not accomplished, THEN, go to "download and unzip install_Flash_Player_10_Plugin (all other windows browsers) ? Or should the latter step be done in lieu of #2 mentioned. I am assuming the download from F.P. D.L. Center would be done first and then troubleshoot by running the EXE. version of the F.P. Plugin installer.
Experience has taught me not to assume much, and if you don't know, ask!
Thanks for your hard work, but you have to admit, for the technically deprived, it is frustrating and confusing.

When I try to watch any video clip I get this:
The version of “Adobe Flash Player” on your system does not include the latest security updates and has been blocked. To continue using “Adobe Flash Player”, download an updated version from Adobe’s website.
I tried clicking on the Adobe Flash Player. It said it accepted it but it did not make a difference.
Can anyone help?
Thank you!

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?

Hi Pat Willener,
Let me tell you what I have done before i get to clean install of flash player.
1. I have Unstalled Flash player 10 from control Panel -> Program and Features.
2. Then I have done these steps
Delete all remaining files and folders located in the following directories. (tip: copy and paste these paths into the path bar in an Explorer window)
C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash (if it exists)
%appdata%\Adobe\Flash Player
%appdata%\Macromedia\Flash Player
Verify that the file “FlashPlayerCPLApp.cpl” in C:\Window\system32\ for 32 bit systems or C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ if you are using a 64 bit system, has been deleted
Download and run the offline installers
for Internet Explorer
for other browsers
Even then I have the same problem again.
At first I did not go for Uninstaller 32-bit because I have done it through Program and Features even then problem exists. So I thought of going clean install process, and it seems Uninstaller is doing nothing......I am attaching a picture of it.... Please I am not sure what I was missing or what is my mistake in here.
I have Norton 360 antivirus s/w.
Please help me out.
Thanks
Kiran

Error installing flash player

I download the installation file, have tried saving it and just opening it directly after downloading from adobe.com and filehippo. I have verified that I am downloading for the correct version of windows and that I want to use it for Internet Explorer. I saw some forum post semi related to my issue which recommended uninstalling all previous versions of flash player and I have done that.
My problem is that when i go to run the installation file I get an error that says it can no longer run scripts on this page. Gives me a line #, some other stuff and this http://localhost:1919/app/_host/host.js. I have only seen this error on websites, why would it come from an installation file and what do I need to do to get rid of it? Flash player has never given me a problem before. I need some things that I can do.
Computer information. Windows XP SP3. IE version 8 (the highest that can go on an XP computer).

Dear Mr. Willener,
Thanks a lot for your comments.
Installation from your link works perfectly ok, I have a latest Flash Player installed.
Actually I already had it.
I tried to make it once more
1 – checking in Windows control panel it is showing 13.3.300.257
2 – after selecting update option from above installation starts even versions are the same
3 – still same script error as before
4 – after selecting to continue it goes ahead but no buttons when finished
5 – clicking on the right upper corner displays buttons, when answering no it turns back to image 4
6 – with answer yes installation is complete
7 – clicking finish passing me to Adobe Flash Player page with flash animation and information about successful installation.
Hoping, maybe it can be of some use to you.
Cheers, Janusz Niski

Hello, I cannot figure out yet how to get Adobe's most recent Flash Player to Install Properly

Hello Adobe,
Please advise as to how I can get the most recent Adobe Flash Player to properly install onto my computer.
I have tried to download: install_flashplayer11x32_mssd_aih.exe
Multiple times and install to no avail.
Please advise, and Thanks,

Hi Ryan,
What happens when you try and download from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer? Does the download start? Are you unable to find the downloaded file? Does the installer fail? If so, do you get an error message?
Thanks,

How Can I Get the FULL Installer for Flash Player 11.1.102.63?

When I try the "Download now" button at http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/, I only get a stub installer that then requires downloading the remainder of the installer. I maintain both my own PC and my wife's PC. I want to install Flash Player 11.1.102.63 twice but download it only once.
When I instead try the link for "Flash Player for other browsers" under "Windows 32-bit", I get the full installer for Flash Player 11.1.102.62, not the full installer for Flash Player 11.1.102.63.
The latest version of Adobe Reader is available via FTP at ftp.adobe.com. Why cannot the latest version of Flash Player also be available there?

at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/889580 the link for downloading "flash player 10", "for other browsers", still results in the OLD version of FP 10 being downloaded, not the newly updated version, build 10.3.183.16..
in adobe's security bulletins, it says that you can download the updated versions of "flash player 10" on the "archives" webpage but there are no direct downloads for FP 10 on the webpage, except for downloading the zipped packages, with the "debuggers".. it would be good if there were direct downloads for the updated versions of FP 10..
also, when i go to the "download center" page, http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?promoid=BUIGP , if i go there with "firefox 3.6", it recognizes that i am running "firefox 3.6" and offers to install "flash player 10.3", but if i go there with "internet explorer 6", it is not recognized and so i am not offered "flash player 10.3", for installing.. in this situation, i need some other way to get "flash player 10.3" for "internet explorer 6"..
adobe should make things easier for everyone by providing direct downloads for flash player..in my case, i use "flash player 10", so i need direct downloads for it.. yes, it is nice that the downloads are posted in the forum, but why not do it right and have in on some webpage, like on the "archives" webpage where adobe says that "flash player 10" can be downloaded, except that there are no links there for downloading it..
