Help for Flash player that will not install

Flash player won't install on  Dell with Mozilla Firefox version 33.0 for Yahoo 1.32. It does not matter what I try or even if I delete all old flash player files, folders etc. The download goes as far as the black box where it should be installing and just freezes there. I have pretty much tried everything to get it t0 install, including your troubleshooter. I also checked on Firefox and there is no available plug in download for the flash player. I even uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and that will still not work. I tried to download using just Internet Explore 11 and that wont work either. It saves the file and I can make it run, but it goes directly to the black box fr Adobe flash player installation and is blank and will not go any further. help please!!!

Hi
I read your post about having difficulty downloading flash player 10 but that you also were able to fix the problem. I  use IE8 and my operating system is XP Professional SP3. I'm hoping that you can answer a question for me.
In the troubleshooting tip issued by Adobe one of the things to do was to check my sercuity program. I use Norton and currently Adobe Flash player isn't in the list of allowed programs under my internet settings. My question is, would it be ok to drop the executable file of the Flash Player that is currently on my desk top, drop it into the programs file? There is a folder with all of the other Adobe programs in it because then I could select and add to the allowed programs in my Norton.
I hope someone can answer this for me.
thanks,
Ellen

  • Flash Player update will not install

    I am unable to install the most recent Adobe Flash Player Update.  All I get is a blank window.  I've tried all the suggestion I have found, but nothing works.  My system info is as follows;
    OS Name Microsoft Windows 7 Professional

    Any Ideas on how to get the update to install?  I've never had this problem on any prior update.

    What exactly do you mean "will not install"; do you get an error message?

  • Flash Player 10 will NOT install.

    I cannot get Flash Player to install. I tried installing Flash Player 10 on my Windows XP (w/Service Pack 2) computer and keep getting a "Failed to Install" message about 1/3 thu the installation. I followed all of the installation instructions and even uninstalled my previous version as recommended. Now I have no Flash Player at all. Has anyone else had this problem?

    already tried to install through your computer?

    Make download for your version of browser windows and after, run the installer you downloaded with the browser closed.
    Best!

  • Adobe Flash Player 13 will not install

    Adobe Flash Player 13 keeps crashing. Where is "home" directory to remove the preferences to complete an uninstall of Flash player?

    Download and run the Flash uninstaller from Adobe here:

    Then try the installation again.

  • Flash Player 11 will not install on Windows 7

    I have tried EVERY option in trying to get version 11 installed - even system restore - all I get is this error (see image below) I use Dell Inspiron 1501, AMD Turion 64 x2 Mobile Technology, 2GB RAM, Windows 7 Pro, SP1. IE9 and Google Chrome is installed. I use IE9 for Windows and development purposes.
    Has anyone actually been able to resolve this?
    Thank you.

    Yes, I know. That falls into the EVERYTHING category. I tried it at least twice.
    It would be nice if Adobe would allow you to go back to version 10.
    There's nothing to prevent you from reverting to a previous version if you wish. Older versions are archived here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html
    But you'll have to use the uninstaller to remove the newer version first: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    However, a newer version of Flash is expected shortly to address the vulnerability recently posted all over the web: http://www.securitytracker.com/id/1026392
    Needless to say, if you revert to 10, you'll be exposing your system to that vulnerability.
    UPDATE:
    If you're using a security product with optional shields enabled, disable them before you run the uninstall/installer. Most of these incorporate file scanners which spring into action as soon as you attempt to install or uninstall an executable. This interferes with the installation process which leads to corruption further down the line.
    If you use AVAST antivirus, right click the orange icon in the systray and choose to disable all shields for one hour. Here are a couple of instances where this approach worked:

    Why won't Adobe open a Pdf? Why do I pay for a service that will not open a pdf?

    Maybe you could supply us with more details about what exactly you are doing, how you are doing and what you are using to do it.
    The reason I say this is because you are in the forum for Adobe Reader which is a FREE application and not a service.

  • Can I download the stand-alone Flash Player that does not need a browser? I have ver 11.5 r502 that I d/l last year; would like a newer release.

    Can I download the stand-alone Flash Player that does not need a browser? I have ver 11.5 r502 that I d/l last year (11 Feb 2013); would like a newer release.
    Can't find much about the standalone viewer, except in the Flash Builder docs, which says a .swf can specify to use it. I can't find a download link.
    Thanks, Doug

    You can download the standalone player (Projector) from https://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
    Note that the download is the player, not an installer, so you need to make the .swf file association manually.

  • Software update in mountain lion offers updates for iPhoto and iMovie that will not install

    Updated my iMac 2011 to Mountain Lion. Software Update now operates through the App Store. Third Party apps are OK but Apple's native Mac apps eg iPhoto, iMovie offer updates for installation that do not install.
    Get this error eg for iMovie but similar for iPhoto and maybe others:
    "We could not complete your update.  iMovie is already installed on this computer. Choose Software Update from the Apple menu to check for available updates."
    If you do as suggested, it reloads App Store software update and goes round again...
    If I go to "Check for updates" in the iMovie menu it tells me it's the current version.
    "This version of iMovie (9.0.8) is the current version."
    The badge showing the count of apps requrining an update is also wrong.

    Hi, just wondering, were any of Apple's Apps moved from there default location?

  • Adobe Flash Player Installer Will Not Work

    As the title suggests, my adobe flash player will not install on my Mac Book Pro.
    About 3 weeks ago my computer started saying I needed to upgrade my Flash Player for it to watch videos. So I tried.
    I went to Adobe.com and tried installing the Flash player, the file its self downloads fine, but when I try to run the installer It gets stuck at 30% every. Single. Time.
    I tried uninstalling Flash player, turning plug ins on and off, no luck.
    I was running 10.8.5 OS the other day on my mac, and decided to upgrade to OS Yosemite today to see if that would solve the issue, no luck.
    I'm all out of ideas, please help.

    Try the offline installer:
