I cannot install flash player updates

I get the prompt that asks me to update flash.  I give it the ok and when it goes to install the updates, I get a script error.  It's been going on since last week.  I've gone directly to adobe's website to try and dowload that way without success. 
running XP SP3, Internet explorer,
adobes website says"You have version 11.6.602.171 installed"
flash player says "active x version 11.602.180, plugin version not installed"

Please try installing from the appropriate "stand alone" Windows installers located here:

  • I cannot install flash player on my MAC - (osx 10.8.4) - it downloads 50%, then clicks to "finish"

    I cannot install flash player on my Mac - running OSX 10.8.4 and Safari 6.0.5.  The progress bar show is as  downloading to 50%, then converts to "installing" and immediately goes to 100% and says it's installed. But it's not.  I get another Adobe Flash installer icon on my desktop instead.  Help!

    Hello,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums.
    First, remove Adobe Flash Player completely using Flash Player uninstaller for MAC : http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html
    Download offline installer for Adobe Flash Player (MAC) from here : http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac/install_flash_playe r_11_osx.dmg
    Once the file is downloaded, run the installer

  • After installing Flash player updates, Recently Closed Windows in History menu lost

    Hi Friends,
    This is just an annoying problem, not really serious, I guess. Whenever I download and install Flash Player updates, History > Recently Closed Tabs, and History > Recently Closed Windows, are wiped out.
    This is a problem for me, because when I log on to my computer every morning, I use History > Restore Previous Session, to get back all the tabs I had open the night before. And often also Recently closed Windows, if I had a 2nd and/or 3rd Ff window open last night. After I install Flash Player, the previous session becomes the Adobe update site. I think I can avoid losing the previous session, by making sure I open my previous session before I start the download and installation.
    (I don't use fully automatic updates for Flash. I have the system alert me when it's ready, and then the next time I log on to the internet, the download popup window appears. I don't know why it waits until the next time I log on, instead of right after I click ok (and also ok on Spybot S&D and WinPatrol alerts). And I know you can't provide support for that part. But just to let you know all the relevant info :-) .)
    So normally, if I've done something to lose my previous session (with all my usual tabs) (usually when I'm in a hurry and don't notice that I've opened Ff without restoring previous session) I can still get that session because it shows up in Recently Closed Windows.
    But after I install the Flash update, Recently Closed Windows (and Recently closed Tabs) are both wiped out.
    I'm hoping someone can sort this out, and I can just change some setting somewhere, to prevent this. Or maybe like the previous session, and remembering to open it, before I start the dl, it might just be a matter or altering my habits. I can't think of any habit changing that would work though. So that's why I'm asking all you wise Ff users :-) Hopefully it's not a bug?
    Thank you very much for any insight, comments or suggestions :-D
    All best.

    hello, this problem happens since the adobe installer triggers the opening of a browser window once the update is finished, which then overwrites the last session...
    you could try if adding ''SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1'' to the adobe mms.cfg configuration file addresses that issue, as described here: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/administration-configure-auto-update-notification.html

  • Cannot install Flash Player in Windows 8.1

    Tried to install Flash Player in Windows 8.1 (32 bit).  Used all the instructions; i.e, disable saftey, enable scripting, etc. An install box says Update KB2934802 is already installed.  Searched computer for KB.....02 and Flash Player.  Says none exist.  Any suggestions?

    Ever since Windows 8, Flash Player for Internet Explorer is written by Adobe ONLY. It's embedded by Microsoft, and you cannot:
    - Update it
    - Download it
    - Install it
    - Reinstall it
    from here. You MUST update Flash Player ActiveX (for Internet Explorer) through Windows update. But... Using Windows 8.1 means you were forced to update to IE11, which has it's own problems and they can be summed up in three words...
    "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.
    The REAL solution, like the original problem can also be summed up in three words:
    "Use 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.

  • Help needed installing Flash Player Update on Mac

    I am trying to install a flash player update on Mac - right now the one site I'm trying to use says flash is out of date.   Will not accept my adobe password, reset it through the adobe site and still will not work.  Tried Chat help and agent said to reset password through the Apple screen.  When  I try that it asks for apple id and password but there is only a place for the password.  Any suggestions.

    Hi,
    This is the OS (Apple) prompting for the password, not Flash Player, therefore, the password is your Apple password, not Adobe ID password.  Please see What userid & password do I need to install Flash Player?

  • Cannot Install Flash Player to Mac OS X 10.9.4

    Hi. I have a mac OS X 10.9.4 and using safari 7.0.5. i have downloaded adobe flash player and before the download ever finishes i am told to close my safari. I have checked a million and one times to see if my safari is open and it is not open. I shut my laptop down and retried and nothing seems to work. I trouble shooter and tried to figure out if i was using the correct version for my computer and everything seems to be in order. i need some help. i am new to mac and i can't watch any of the videos i want to see and i wanna know how this can be resolved.

    Hello Maria,
    I went through the "terminate Safari" processes as well.  I did all of that, including uninstalling the previous version.  Nothing worked with the download from the main site.  I would get the disc image and click on it.  I would then get the red "Install Adobe Flash Player" and click on that.  I would get the black box that said "initializing."  Nothing would happen with this until it said that the download was bad and that I needed to reinstall.  I went through that process several time, including deleting the downloaded disc image that didn't work and redownloading a new disc image.  No matter what I did, the results were the same...the downloaded disc image was not working. 
    I then started sniffing around the Adobe website and came across some trouble shooting instructions.  I followed those, including right clicking on the "Install Adobe Flash Player" button to get to the "contents" folder.  The instructions then told me to click on a folder, which was not there in what I had downloaded.  I deleted what I downloaded and tried this process again, with the same results. 
    I only had success with the link on the bottom of the other Mac trouble-shooting page referenced in my post.  Once I downloaded that package, I noticed the size difference between the two disc images.  The last package worked like it was supposed to, and I finally got the updated Adobe Flash Player downloaded and operational.  I could not get anything from the download from the Adobe Flash Player update website.
    I have a mid-2011 MacBook Pro with an Intel Core i5.  I've never had this much trouble updating Flash Player before.  Since the link on the referenced troubleshooting page work like it should, and since all other previous updates worked like they should, I can only conclude that something must be wrong with the main Flash Player website link or package for this update to Flash Player 14.
    Thanks for the reply.
    Take care,
    Rick

  • Cannot install flash player partially uninstalled

    Dear community members,
    I successfully installed Flash Player back in April. It was working well until a couple of weeks ago, when video clips wouldn't work sometimes, but did with a bit of coaxing. The sites affected were - Facebook, Iview (TV), Youtube,and my bank's website. The same applied when playing games. The situation has now degraded to the extent that I cannot access any of the sites listed, and get video/voice.
    I downloaded the instructions to uninstall, and downloaded the .exe file and ran it (no problems). However, the instructions said to delete files in the system32\Macromed\flash directory, but when I tried to I was told I didn't have the right privileges. I have administrator rights. How higher can one Go?
    I tried to install again, only to be told that Flash Player is already installed. How do I fix Flash Player, when I cannot uninstall or install it? Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
    Regards,
    Gazza

    You have Shockwave Flash 10.1 r82 installed already.

  • Cannot install Flash Player ActiveX plugin

    It's very interesting that I am able to install Flash Player for Mozilla but not for IE (ActiveX). As I'm a web site designer, I need to surf my design at different browsers to ensure compatibility. I tried many of solutions (such as uninstaller, reset_fp10, ccleaner, registry cleaner) but still not work. I hope the attached install log file may help to find out what's wrong and the solution.
    Joe

    Hello, I did not look at the install log. However, the first thing you want to do is go to add/remove and find out what of Adobe is listed there.
    When Adobe Flash Player 10 is installed and is listed in Add/Remove is says: Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX.
    List everything that is Adobe in Add/Remove
    Next list each add on that is in Manage Add/Ons and whether it is enabled or disabled.
    You need to know what you have before you do anything else.
    (I use an 8 year old Dell, running XP3 with IE 6 and I have never used registry cleaners or anything of that nature. I keep Windows updated and never once has Microsoft told me I needed to use a registry cleaner because I've installed an update or an upgrade. I was told long ago to leave the registry alone and have done so. This is just my opinion. I am not a programmer and would never do anything with my computer that I have no knowledge of. )
    Sometimes users go where angels fear to tread so to speak with their computers.
    Let's see what you have installed and what add/ons you have and go from there.

  • Cannot install Flash Player without a password and I don't have one.

    I cannot seem to install Flash Player without a password and I do not have one.  What to do?

    The password that's being requested (required) is your user account password ON YOUR SYSTEM (not for Adobe). You CANNOT install without an administrator account, and you CANNOT set up an administrator account without a password.

  • Trouble installing Flash player update 14.0.0.177 for Chrome

    I tried to help my mom update her flash player. She was running flash version 14.0.0.145 and having problems with it. I was checking things for her when I saw there was a newer version, 14.0.0.177, so I downloaded it. For Chrome you have to enable it in the plugins page, but the only version showing up was the old one. As far as I know, that is how it is installed. She has a windows computer with os windows 7. Is there something I am missing here, or something I should try that could help her get the newest version of flash running? Thanks!

    Hello,
    The Flash Player version integrated in Chrome is updated by Google, not Adobe.  For this Flash Player release, it appears Google released Flash Player via a Chrome update (versus a components update, which they sometimes do), as per this page Chrome Releases: Stable Channel Update, which indicates 36.0.1985.143 as the version that contains the Flash Player update. You can navigate to chrome://chrome to trigger the update (or Tools > About Google Chrome which goes to the same page).

  • Cannot install Flash Player for Firefox

    I am running Windows XP HE with SP4.  IE and the latest version of Firefox are installed.
    In both IE and Firefox, on attempting to install Flash Player with the standard link, I get an error message in a small window opens, title "getPlus+(R): Error," text "Unable to load a GUI," "OK" box.  I got around this by locating a standalone installation for IE, which downloaded an installation file to my computer.  However, this does not work in Firefox, even when obtaining access to that link from Firefox.  The file executes, but Flash Player still shows as not installed in Firefox.
    I cannot find any separate standalone installer for Flash Player for Firefox.
    This error message appears to be generated by the Adobe Installer, a getPlus product.  My thought was to uninstall the Adobe Installer, and try to start over.  However, the Adobe Installer shows up in the list of installed programs reached through Control Panel, BUT clicking the button to uninstall the program does nothing.  The program remains listed.  I cannot find a location for the Adobe Installer program on my disk drive.

    As I said in my first message, Adobe DLM appears in the "Add/Remove Programs" dialogue box, but clicking the Remove button doesn't do anything.  The screen flickers for a couple of seconds, and Adobe DLM remains listed as an installed program.  There is no installed program listed under the description getPlus or NOS.
    I found useful information at http://www.findmysoft.com/news/Patch-to-Fix-Critical-Adobe-Download-Manager-Vulnerability- Released/ .  Not to put too fine a point on it, information at various locations shows that the DLM has been a troublesome program.
    IE did not list Adobe DLM, getPlus, or NOS as an addon.  Firefox listed "getPlusPlus for Adobe 16263" as a plugin. There was not other extension or plugin listed under Adobe DLM, getPlus, or NOS.
    Based on the information at the link cited above, I tried the following. First, in Firefox, I disabled the getPlusPlus for Adobe 16263 plugin.  Removing it was not an option.  First, using services.msc, I disabled the getPlus Helper service.  Removing it was not an option.  Third, I deleted the directory c:\Program Files\NOS and its subtree.  I did not find anything relevant in the Application Data directories.
    I then went to the link on the Adobe Web site to install Flash Player.  (I know, it's already installed, but I wanted to see if the DLM would now function.)  This time, the first thing that happened upon clicking the link to install it was that the site completed a new installation of DLM.  However, on proceeding to the installation of Flash Player itself, I got the same error message noted above, "A GUI could not be loaded."  So nothing changed.  Opening services.msc again, I noted that the getPlus Helper service had been reinstalled, and was no longer disabled.  The c:\Program Files\NOS directory had been recreated.  I tried manually starting the getPlus Helper service, and trying the installation again through the Adobe Web site.  Same result, no help.  And note that DLM is not being cleaned up automatically as part of this process, as is supposed to happen.
    I'm thinking that a previous installation of DLM left behind some corrupted relic that is preventing it from running properly.  Very likely an incorrect registry entry.  But good luck finding that one without help.
    NOS Micro has a link to "Contact Our Support Team" at http://www.nosltd.com/index.php/support .  Maybe as a last resort see if they would respond?  Note that I can't locate a way to get support from Adobe except by paying $39.95 per incident for telephone support.
    Thanks!
