Installation issue with flash player - failed to register activex

I am trying to install Flash Player 10 on a computer running Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 32 bit. Browser is Internet Explorer 7. Every time I install, either thru the webpage or thru the exe installer, I get an error that the installer failed to register activex. I tried the steps in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/461168, to no avail. I also tried running the Flash Player uninstaller. I am logged in as administrator and have made sure to give the command change user /install. I was able to install with no issues on another server with the same versions of Windows and IE. This system also has Adobe AIR and Reader 9.4 installed. I also uninstalled Shockwave Player 11 and that didn't help.

Yes, I have. I went thru the steps more than once in case.

OLM SCORM content issue with FLash Player 9 Active X version 9.0.115

Hi,
Does any one have issue completing SCORM online content (flash object) via OLM with FLash Player 9 Active X version 9.0.115 using IE? I have same problem also via mozilla.
I have two computer one with 9.0.45 and one with 9.0.115. I can complete the online course with version 9.0.45 without any issue but the status always incomplete with version 9.0.115. When using 9.0.115 it seem there is not communication between OLM player and the application (nothing showup in the java console).
I checked Adobe website and this is what they quoted:
ActionScript 2 getURL() and ActionScript 3 navigateToURL()calls such as getURL("javascript:myFunction();") fail with live web-server content if the HTML and SWF are in separate domains. This issue appears in Internet Explorer versions 6 and 7.

Dharma,
I just tried a piece of flash content using 9.0.115 on iLearning and had no issues, and this should be no different than OLM.
Is the SCORM Adapter set up and in use with debugging turned on? Do you see information in the java console when running the content using the other version of Flash?

Issues with Flash player in CC

Hi,
I am facing this issue with Flash in CC. We have recently upgraded our Adobe suite from CS6 Master Collection to Adobe Creative Cloud ENT.
The video playback in the software(Flash in CC) is incredibly slow and choppy, which makes it difficult for students to work on their animation.
This is happening with all PCs using Flash CC, there are few students who have Flash CS6 on their PCs and they aren’t having this problem.
Thanks,
Ram

Hi Mohan,
Thanx for the response. below are my specs:
Specs:
Windows 7 Pro, Service pack 1, build 7601
Intel Core i5 760 2.8Ghz
5 GB RAM
Nivdia Gefore GT 220
Just tried your recommendations.
The performance issue exists for both the stage/timeline playback as well as test movie. I tried the suggestion to close the timeline and it doesn’t seem to make any difference.
When playing back footage, the FPS display on the timeline can be seen to fluctuate.
I’ve also tried another thing: Closing Flash CC and opening the test movie SWF file, which opens in Flash Player 11 and it plays perfectly fine.
Tanx.. Ram

Any known issues with Flash player 9 and windows 2003 compatibility?

Hi guys..
Is there any known compatibility problem with running flash
applications
on Windows 2003 Server?
My application runs just so well with Windows XP
yet it throws a 2015 bitmap error
when it is being run on the windows 2003 server.
(Not quite often but often enough. the only difference is the
operating
system)
Is there any known issue about this?
Or could there be any compatibility problem with flash player
and
windows 2003?
Any hints would be deeply appreciated...
Thank you...

Hyperion 32-bit Web Apps are fully compatible with Essbase 64-bit. Same with 32-bit Essbase client.

When I run this code in Firefox with flash player 10,it is working as expected(When I go to tab2,application goes to fullscreen.When tab1,normal state).But in flash player 10.1,I can go to tab2.But cannot select tab1 again.It stays as fullscreen with tab2 selected.
Any idea why this is so?

I think that the issue is not with flashplayer but with firefox 3.5+ .The problem is that the swf cannot receive any mouse events while in full screen mode in FF 3.5+.In FF 3 and other browsers,this is working as expected.I searched a lot in the internet but did not find anything fruitful.Anyone has experienced this issue?

MacOS Lion 10.7.1 Still issues with Flash Player Settings windows

Hi Everyone, and Adobe,
I have tried almost anything now, but it still doesn't work... I have a few workarounds but non really working
I'm only having this issues with my iMac not my MacBook Pro... how is that?
Using, MacOS Lion 10.7.2 with Flash Player version 11.0.1.152.
I'm still not able to invoke / click on the Flash Player Settings windows in the Browser (Safari) -- I can as described, workaround the Allow and Denied issue by using the System Preferences Flash settings… but I can not change cam setting, from Web CAM to my external Cam. !!
Is this ONLY me having these issues or ?? or wasn't the issue suppose to have been fixed in the latest version af Flash? or … is this issues only related to the Video Card within my iMac (ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB) ?
Some that someone, hopefully Adobe can help me here
hope for some greate feedback ...

This is a known issue with particular iMac machines having ATI Radeon HD cards. Currently, we found iMac 7/8 with ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro are the most common victim of this issue. We are working with both Apple and ATI to fix this problem. For now, we summarized some work arounds in below forum thread, hope it will be helpful to you!

Having installation problems with flash player! Please help!

So i download and begin installation for adobe flash player and it starts installing but stops at 50% to tell me to close Safari browsers. The problem is that there are no safari browsers open because I had already closed out of them but it keeps telling me to close them.
I have no idea how to fix this, please help!!

Hello,
If you're just closing the browser window, you're not actually quitting the application. You need to quit the application for Flash Player to install. There are a few different ways to Quit Safari:
Quit Safari app from the Dock icon:
Mouse over the Safari icon in the Dock
Press CTRL and left-mouse click at the same time
A menu will display. Click Quit to terminate the application.
Use Activity Monitor to terminate Safari:
Launch Activity Monitor from Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor
Ensure 'All Processes' are being listed (menu in the upper right)
Find and select Safari
Click the Quit Process button (upper left)

Flash Player fails to register on 3 PCs!

This is maddening... Here I am prompted in the past couple days to update Flash Player on my PCs however, the installation fails to register on 3 of them.
I am running Windows 7 64bit on all 3, IE8 on 2 and IE9 on 1. Same issue with all 3!
I have followed the installation support instructions, downloaded the Flash Uninstalled, downloaded the latest Flash version, re-installed and the same thing continues to happen.
How does one fix this? This is crazy!

I don't understand; what happens when you try?
Here, I am just pasting the contents of my FlashInstall.log file...

Latest flash player fails to register!

I have been fighting this for days now, and it's keeping out of my university on-line classes. In use W7 64 OS + IE8 32. As of now, I must use IE8 32 for use on my on-line classes. Also W7 has all the recent updates per MS.
I noticed that IE8 does not have Flash Player installed, but I do have active scripts enabled in Internet Tools and other Security settings to medium or lower. When I attempt to install the latest Flash Player, I get a registry error and installation fails.
I have tried these steps + notes:
1. Un-installed Flash using Adobe's uninstall many times. Rebooted.
2. Reset IE8 including removing all add-ons. Re-opened IE8.
3. Un-installed Flash from FireFox 6 as a test.
4. I also have Chrome browser, but can not remove Flash Player from it since its integrated. I have IE8, Chrome and FireFox browsers on my W7 system.
5. May be important: Since I was then running IE9, I initally attempted to install Flash Player Beta 11, but had issues there also, but can't remember details. So, I then removed IE9 and defaulted to IE8 32.
6. I have read over several links on the Web concerning this, and nothing I've tried works, BUT, it seems to be a common issue with others.
It would be great if someone would help me thropugh this as its inmportant. If possible, I would be OK with a remote login.
Sincere thanks,
William

Thank you for posting a complete description of your problem with all details; I wish more people would do that!
First I would like you to try the following:
download the installer from the link in this topic http://forums.adobe.com/thread/889580 and save it to disk;
close all browser windows, then right-click on the downloaded installer and run it As Administrator.
If you are still getting the 'failed to register' error, please follow the instructions in http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/494/cpsid_49419.html

Flash player fails to register

I've been trying to get the update for flash player and it keeps saying
Failed to register.
I've uninstalled it at add and remove programs and tried to re-install it but it says the same thing. After closing the little download box another one pops up soon after to download something else (Not sure what it's called) What am i supposed to do? Also i don't know too much about computers.

It seems that you have a problem with registry permissions.
One way of getting around that is to try the installation from and Administrator account.
The other way is to change the registry permissions, as outlined in this topic http://forums.adobe.com/thread/485281/ - but that is a rather complex process.

Why did you ignore my post about Flash Player failing to register its ActiveX Control?

Three days ago I submitted a precisely-worded description of a persistent installation problem: Every time I attempt to download and install Flash Player V. 16 on my laptop running Windows Vista 64 bit and IE 9, the download completes successfully, but at the end of installation, a dialog box gives this message
"ActiveX Control failed to register."
I presume that your installation software was unable to write something into the Windows Registry. Other software has no trouble writing to my Windows Registry. My anti-virus software is not blocking the Registry.
I expressly asked for an Adobe staff member to guide me on how to debug this failed installation.
All I got was zilch. Your forum software assured me that my request was posted, but I have not seen it on the list of recent posts. You made it disappear and did not respond to it. Your company does not provide any other avenue for a distraught user to obtain technical support. Your dismissive attitude toward your customers and user community is even more distressing than your bloated, malfunctioning software products.
Without Flash Player installed, my computer has been dead in the water for ten days. I can't do my work. If I am forced to write my own Flash emulator just to get my work done, then I won't need Adobe anymore.

Hi Pramananda,
You're previous post wasn't ignored. Assisting users on forums is not staffs primary responsibility and we try to assist users as our time allows, in between our responsibilities. Creating multiple posts for the same issue also doesn't help as it simply forks the problem and results in responses to both, causing confusion.
Failure to register errors are normally caused by registry permissions issues, not user permissions issues. Please review the Flash Player | Windows registry permissions tech note as it addresses this issue.
Maria
P.S. I locked your other thread so that responses will only be posted to one location, eliminating forked responses and confusion.

Flash Player failed to register

I cannot update Flash Player, I have removed Flash Player and cannot reload. It fails to register (tried multiple times). I am the administrator. Now what?

Download the following files by right clicking and selecting "Save target as"
Flash Player Uninstaller
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Save ALL files to your Downloads folder - DO NOT RUN anything yet.
Reboot your system.
BEFORE opening anything else, go to your Downloads folder and run the UNINSTALLER to remove all instances of Flash Player.
Next, run the ActiveX Installer.
Lastly, run the Installer for other browsers.
Once Flash Player is installed go to: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/alternates/#sp
Download BOTH files, the one on the right FIRST by right clicking and selecting "Save target as"... the other by clicking and following the steps to dwonload the FULL ActiveX installer.
Once everything is installed, see:Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer and: ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer to make 100% sure that Flash Player is enabled and NOT being blocked by ActiveX controls.

Installation problems with flash player 9

Hi,
I am having multiple problems with my copy of flash player. I
have tried several versions 7-9 and all have had these problems. I
know one of my problems is that I still use Win98SE. So, I am
somewhat limited in what I can use. It all started when I visited
several sites but, primarily www.wpsdlocal6.com, when the video
tried to load flash9 would crash my explorer. After trying several
other older versions as sugguested by some forum message, they
would work once, maybe twice, and then do the same thing. I have
checked my settings several times and all seem to be where it needs
to be as far as I know. Out of frustration, I tried again to
install flash7. During the installation it could not find where to
place my web brower plug-ins. (I use IE 6.0.2800.1106 and I am not
sure where IE places its plug-ins to tell it look in a particular
directory.) I know at one point in time (I have been working on
this for over a week) I realized my uninstaller was outdated, but I
got that fixed.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

A quick upadate. I have gotten all of my issues corrected,
but one. I am getting a pop-up message on my home page,
www.excite.com, saying I am trying to install activeX onto an
unsupported computer. I only get an "OK" button and it will then
"unpack." It does this everytime I access the website. Apparently
there is a setting that needs to be corrected or something in a
cache making my computer to behave this way. I have another
computer with similar setup, win98se, ie6, flash 9,0,47,0 and it
runs as smooth as glass. I finally got flash 8,0,42,0 to work other
wise on this computer. I am nervous about updating to flash 9
because I have had problems with flash9 crashing my browser on this
computer. Any sugguestions?

I have issues with Flash Player 10, can you help resolve this?

Hello everyone,
At the risk of giving too much information:
I run a Mac iMac 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2.5 GB 667 MHz DDR2 5 DRAM with OS X version 10.4.11
The issue:
I recently did the following things,
a) Downloaded and used Safari Version 4 Public Beta (4528.17) Without any issues.
b) Downloaded and used Flash Player 10.
Prior to this I wasn't aware of any issues, so I shall assume that Safari and Flash Player 9 worked fine together.
I also run Opera version 10.00 Beta, Firefox version 3.0.1.0
Here's the issue, when I visit BBC iPlayer and select a TV or Radio progamme I get this warning ..."A script in this movie is causing Adobe Flash Player 10 to run slowly. If it continues to run. your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script?" YES/NO ( attached file).
Selecting Yes or No results in the TV or Radio Progamme continuing to play but all control is lost so a Force quit is neccessary.
This issue applies to Firefox and Opera.
Sky.com doesn't appear to suffer these issues in as much when I've uninstalled Flash Player, Sky asks for 10 to be installed and works fine once it's done. I should add that I installed Adobe AIR after the issues began without any resolution.
No doubt when you know what the issue is it's resolved in a flash, so come on who out there can help me...please.

Hello Chris,
Thanks for the Flash settings instructions, that was useful and now I understand that all those particular options are available from a right click. Having said that in this case I still wasn't able to resolve my issue, although I can right click and by clicking anywhere in the Adobe Flash Player Settings panel select or deselect there doesn't appear to be anyway to save that selection,(attached).
I should say at this point that I'm thinking that if my issue might be display speed then by disabling hardware acceleration this might resolve the issue.
Regards
Chris Antjoule
