I can't get Flash Player to install

I'm using Windows 7 (64 bit) and I'm running IE9 and Opera for my browser. I cannot use anything that requires flash player, as it says I need to update mine. When I go to download the new one, it simply refreshes my page with no further instructions, and does not start the download. Occassionally, I can get the download procedure to begin, but I can never get anything to happen after the "Run" step. It simply stops with no notice whatsoever, and no download ensues.
NOTE: I'm also having the exact same problem with Adoe Reader.

Try using the 64-bit installers from http://forums.adobe.com/thread/909550
Download the Adobe Reader installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/direct/ (this link has been working in the past, but I am getting a "currently unavailable" message).
Alternate download for the full installer: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/ (navigate to the version you want to download).
Update: the Adobe Reader direct download link above is working now.

How can I get Flash Player and install it?

I29/Aug/2010 17:37
TO: Adobe Forum
I am running Windows XP Home, and using Mozilla Firefox 3.6.8 as my browser.
When I go to download and install the latest version of Flash Player, the ONLY option I get is to quit. In other words, I cannot download and install Flash Player. This even occurs at Adobe's own website.
How can I get Flash Player and install it?
Thank you in advance.
Sincerely,
Barry Karas

First, you can manually download the installer here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
Second. On both my Mac (OS 10.6.4) and My PC (Vista Home Premium) I have had nothing but trouble with Firefox 3.6.8 and Flash player, Flash apps and Flash sites that require access to web cam or microphone or both.
The last time Flash Player worked well with Firefox was 3.6.4, but I uninstalled 3.6.8 and went all the way back to 3.0 on both systems.
Just a heads up. If you download the manual installer, and it still doesn't work, it ISN'T the Flash Player. It's Firefox. IE, Opera and Safari all work with it.
Go to oldversion.com and get an older build of Firefox, uninstall 3.6.8, install the older one, go to Tools, and Options and turn off automatic checking for updates, so it doesn't try to take you back the the 3.6.8 "busted @$$ joint" that doesn't work worth poo.
Maybe when they release 3.7, Firefox will have their act together with Adobe and Flash Player.

Can not get Flash player to INSTALL!

Hi, I've been trying for two days now to fix this on my
computer and nothing works. I've tried all the suggestions for how
to install this, uninstall, etc. and nothing is working. When I go
to watch a video or something it says I need to download Flash
Player 9. This is something that just started happening recently.
Please advise.
Thank you.

Please check your Internet Explorer ActiveX settings
Browser security settings should be chosen by you or by your
system administrator. For single users who do not have an
administrator, the Medium: Default Level allows you to view Flash
content. For any Custom Level, ensure that both the "Download
Signed ActiveX controls" and "Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins"
options are set to "Prompt".
To change your security level:
1. Open Internet Explorer.
2. Choose Tools > Internet Options.
3. Select the Security tab.
4. Select Custom Level.
5. Find the section "ActiveX controls and plug-ins".
6. Set ' Download Signed ActiveX Controls' to Prompt.
7. Set 'Run ActiveX Controls And Plug-ins' to Prompt.
If you are having trouble, make sure that your Internet
Explorer security level is not set to High or to a custom level
that does not allow viewing of ActiveX controls.
If you are still unable to install Flash Player, it may be
that you have incorrect permissions in the system registry:
To fix these Windows system registry permission conflicts you
can use Microsoft’s SubInACL tool.
Please download Microsoft’s tool to your desktop.
http://www.supportflash.com/reset_min.zip
1. Login as the User that has the incorrect permissions in
the system registry
2. unzip the “reset_minimal.cmd” and the
“subinacl.exe” to the desktop
*** Make sure both files are on the desktop
3. Close out all applications
4. Run the “reset.cmd” file
5. It will open a DOS like terminal and start running through
registry keys
6. When it is finished it will say “press any key to
continue”
7. At this point you can download the latest Flash Player
from here:

FIXED IT, YEAH!!!! Do you have OS X and you can't get Flash Player to Install completely?

Hey all. I just figured this out on my own as no one at Adobe will release a playbook that gives proper instructions on this issue. If you are having issues with the application not installing all of the way, you have a permission issue on the the partition where your Yosemite OS is installed. Here is how you fix the issue that you are experiencing:
Open Disk Utility (press Command and the Space Bar, then type disk utility)
Locate your disk and the partition where your OS installed.
Select First Aid (in the right pane next to Erase and Restore)
Locate the button "Verify Disk Permissions" and click on it.
Wait, get some coffee and relax, this will all be over soon
When Verify Disk Permissions is complete, click on the button "Repair Disk Permissions"
Now grab breakfast, lunch or dinner and tell someone you love that you love them.
After your disk permissions have been repaired, close out Disk Utility
Open the FlashPlayer installation file and run the installation again.
Finally, whew... Enjoy your entertainment fare. You made it across the schism that Adobe loves to plague their loyal patrons with.
I hope this helps someone. Let me know if it worked or didn't; I am curious if you all will see the same success that I have realized.
Cheers & Many Regards,
Geoff

This works for most people and is the advice I usually give to Mac users that are having mysterious installer failures. We have enough of a population that everything that can go wrong will. Disk corruption is one of those inevitable things that happens, and it causes mysterious problems. The installer isn't doing anything complex -- it's basically a glorified unzip tool, so when simple operations like "write a couple files" fail, it's typically that we're making a completely standard call the operating system that should never fail, and it's failing -- either silently or with an error, just depending on what's going on.
For what it's worth, I actually correctly diagnosed a broken pin on a monitor cable today based on the description some funky intermittent video playback behavior, so we really *do* see everything on these forums.

Help, I can not get Flash Plyer to install.

I have been working on this for 7 hours and can not get Flash Player to work.
I have IE 9.0.8112.16421, Windows Vista, Disabled McAfee Virus and Firewall and run as administrator.
Uninstalled Flash Player ( it did show up on my installed programs but when I checked with Adobe FP checker it did not show as installed.) I keep getting a notice that says I need to install the latest Flash Player. Tried to update IE to IE 9.0 enhanced but I get the notice to install FP.
I Shut down and reboot with all programs closed everywhere including tool bar.
Started FP installer from desktop as administrator and went through Download manager and then install FP 10. I get message that says the installation is complete. I Quit and reboot. But FP is not working.
Checked internet tools -- security on Medium and internet on Medium.
Is there a problem with Flash Player 10 and IE 9.0?
Can anyone help?

That doesn't make sense; if you have saved the installer to your desktop, then then the DLM does not come into play.
A few questions:
what is your Windows version, and is it 32-bit or 64-bit?
what files do you have in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash (32-bit) or C:\Windows\syswow64\Macromed\Flash (64-bit)?
on IE, Tools, Add-ons, do you have Shockwave Flash Object, and is it enabled?
can you see the Flash animation (rotating red 'F') at http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ ?

I cannot get Flash Player to install on my Mac

I cannot get Flash Player to install on my Mac Air. I have repeatedly confirmed that I meet the system requirements and installed and uninstalled the software. It always fails at 51% installation and give me and alert that says Install Error. Please help!
MAC OS 10.8.5
Safari 6.1
Firefox 26.0
Just performed the update to FP12 on my iMac. Worked perfectly.
MAC OS 10.6.8
Safari 5.1.10
Firefox 26.0
It appears the problem is with the newer OS...

"Allllllllrighty then!" as "Ace Ventura" said....
The problem ISN'T with Flash Player...
If you remember back in September, when Apple released the 10.8.5 update, shortly thereafter... you no doubt discovered a file named "mach_kernel" was in your Mac HD directory. And... unaware of what it was, you deleted it.
That (mach_kernel) is a base file of OS X and Apple screwed up the update and made it "visible" when it's supposed to be hidden.
Hundreds of thousands of unsuspecting Mac Users worldwide deleted it and it'll make things worse as time goes by.
YOU'RE in luck, though. I have a fix.
If you have a TIme Machine and use the "Secrets" pereference pane to reveal "hidden files", you can restore it from a "pre 10.8.5" backup.
If not, I have a "fresh" mach_kernel file you can download.
You'll need to download and install the Secrets prefpane. It'll then be in your System Preferences.
Make sure you have it set to "show hidden files"
Check the box and you have to restart Finder
Press "Quit This" and then go to the Finder Dock icon and right click it
Select "Open"
Open your TIme Machine
Go back to September 28 or earlier.
You'll see the mach_kernel file in the Mac HD directory
(I can't show it in the TM because screenshots don't work while it's open but here it is in my MAc HD)
Right click it and select "Restore to"
Then, when it goes back to Finder, choose the Mac HD directory and click OK.
It will place the mach_kernel back where it was and you can install software again
DON'T FORGET to go back and hide your files (and restart Finder) again, or you'll have a mess with the clutter of hidden files everywhere.
IF you don't have the Time Machine...
WITH hidden files shown, download this file (mach_kernel.zip)
Move it to your Mac HD directory and THEN unzip it with Stuffit Expander or TheUnarchiver, whichever you use (most people have Stuffit).
You should see the mach_kernel file there.
You can delete the zip file, and then go back to Secrets in your System Preferences, and uncheck Show Hidden Files.
Restart Finder and it'll be safely hidden again.
THEN you can install Flash Player and other software without the "General Installation Error".

I can't get Flash Player to work at all I need help PLEASE!!!

I have been trying for close to 1 week now to figure out how to get this flash player to work on both IE & Firefox and it's driving me crazy. I'm running a Windows 7 Home Premium Edition 64-bit not sure what other info you need but I'm here if you need more. I just want to get this fixed so hubby can play his games and I can play mine.
Thanks so much

Games require not only the latest Flash Player, but the least Shockwave as well. I recommend a complete “clean install” for both.
Download the following by right clicking and selecting either "Save target as"(IE) or "Save Link As"(Firefox):
Shockwave Player Uninstaller
Flash Player Uninstaller
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Shockwave Player 12 FULL Installer (Other browsers)
Save the files - DO NOT RUN ANYTHING YET.
Reboot your system.
BEFORE opening anything, run the UNINSTALLERS to remove Shockwave and Flash Player,
Once they’ve finished, go to: C/Windows/System32 and delete the Macromed folder.
Go to: C/Windows/SysWOW64 and delete the Macromed folder.
Open your Registry Editor (Start>Run or press the Windows key + R and tope “regedit” [minus the quotes] and click OK)
In the Registry Editor, go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE and delete the Macromedia folder.
Go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software and delete the Macromedia folder there.
Close the Registry Editor and empty your Recycle Bin.
Run the Flash Player installers, and the Shockwave FULL installer for Firefox.
Lastly, using IE, visit: http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/otherversions/ to download and install the Shockwave FULL installer for ActiveX.
