Installing flash player gpo 11.4 - wont uninstall previous version

I created a GPO and it installs flash player 11.4 successfully on some machines, however, on machines with some previous versions of flash 10.x, the GPO doesnt install version 11.4. If you reboot the computer on the problemmachines, during the GPO appying computer settings you actually see "install adobe flash player active x 11.4..." but it doesnt install. In control panel the old 10.x version that was pushed out via GPO is still there. I do not have the GPO or files\install for the 10.x version, it has been mistakenly deleted.
This is the error in the application log on the machine:
Product: Adobe Flash Player 11 ActiveX -- Error 1714.The older version of Adobe Flash Player 11 ActiveX cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group. System Error 1612.
Even if I try the manual uninstall from Adobe, I still cannot install version 11.4 from the GPO. Any ideas someone please?
Adobe - It shouldnt be this hard!!!

Found this while I was looking for answers to a different issue (latest version of Flash crashing browsers), and here is the entry I have been forced to cobble together in my deployment script in order to get Flash to deploy in any way here:

All of these keys have broken Flash installs at one point or another here until they were removed as part of the update install. The most recent one I found was the entry at the top, the Safe Versions key broke a lot of systems when I rolled out 11.4 until I found it.

  • Can any one tell me how to install flash player on powerbookg4.i actully uninstall it to upgrade it but now i can not install new one.it always says get flash player for powerpc when i try to install it after downloading.it is 10.5.8 version

    Flash Player version 10.1.102.64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users. However, this Flash version won't work for many videos on Facebook, YouTube and other sites. Adobe's latest version, 10.2.x or later, is only for Intel Macs. Adobe will not provide a newer Flash version for PPC Macs.
    The message requesting that you download Adobe Flash Player takes you to Flash Player requiring an Intel processor. Doesn't work on a PowerPC processor. I found a hack, installed it & it works with Firefox, TenFourFox & Safari.
    Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

  • Unable to install flash player!! Have tried uninstalling and all other trouble shooting options listed. The installer starts working, closes safari successfully, then shortly after, it stops installing and just states "installation failed. Click 'finish'

    I have Safari 8.0.5 and have a mac running OS X Yosemite 10.10.3
    The issues started when entering a site that required flash. I received a message that I had to upgrade flash and when attempting to upgrade the system crashed. I then tried to uninstall and reinstall and now get the below error, which directs me back to the install site which starts the process all over again and I'm not getting anywhere!!! Please help!!!

    Hi karis20774009,
    To accurately identify the issue, and help us improve the online installer experience, we would really appreciate it if you could do the following for us:
    Perform a speed test on your internet connection.  There are a myriad of sites that do this, for example, www.speedtest.net,www.speakeasy.net/speedtest, www.dslreports.com/speedtest, and your internet provider may also have a page in their support/help section to do a speedtest.
    Goto Location --> ~/Librarly/Logs/Adobe_ADMLogs
    Upload the two log files (Adobe_ADM.log and Adobe_GDE.log) using the instructions posted here https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1408375
    Reply back to this thread with the results of the download speed test and the URL to the uploaded log files.
    In the mean time, the offline installer is posted at Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac page in the 'Still having problems' section should work for you.
    Thank you in advance.

  • Installing Flash Player on a Mac OS X Yosemite (Version 10.10.1)

    I am relatively computer illiterate. I mean I don't even know what a "Community" is so I've chosen this one ... I have no idea if it is the correct one, but there was no "Flash" community to choose from. If it's wrong please let me know! Seems a pretty hard way to get help if you ask me; there must be others as illiterate as myself ...
    Anyway, having received an "update now" message from Adobe regarding Flash I followed instructions but the update wouldn't install.
    I tried various times but it simply froze up at between 25% and 45% of the installation. It downloaded a file, "http://aihdownload.adobe.com/bin/live/AdobeFlashPlayerInstaller_16_ltrosxd_aaa_aih.dmg" of 1.1 Mb. This seems far too small but after at least ten attempts it never downloads anything bigger.
    Anyway, I followed the instructions in the "Help" section which eventually led me to uninstalling with a view to installing a completely new package.
    However, now I've uninstalled it still wont install so I'm worse off than ever.
    I attach a screenshot of flash player files now on my computer.
    Can anyone help?

    Please use the offline installer, here:

  • Why do websites ask me to install flash player when I already have the latest version?

    Windows 7 (64 bit)
    IE 9

  • Before installing Elements 12 do I need to uninstall previous versions?

    Do I need to uninstall Elements 10 before installing Elements 12?

    No, you don't need to but you can.  If you purchased 12 as an upgrade for 10 then it can help to keep 10 installed to get thru the activation of 12.

  • Unable to install flash player after uninstalling previous version

    I am unable to download/install flash player and I had already uninstalled the previous version.  I had been playing farmville and my aol emails just fine and they both stopped working and I was told to try "updating" my flash player.  Well, I must have done something wrong because it uninstalled ok but now when I download it again, I get "did not pass the integrity check (1629.304.428)"  I also tried to reset IE 8 with no help.  This all worked until about 4 days ago and I don't remember updating anything within the last week so I am not sure what I did wrong.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.
    My OS is Windows Vista 64 bit, web browser is IE8, 32 bit, and I don't have a flash player version according to the link that was provided to check, it keeps giving me the link for the general page with no version numbers.  Thanks!

    Download the executable installer(s) from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html

  • How can in Install Flash Player 10.3 without any problem?

      Regards. I installed Flash Player 11, and then the 11,1 version and is truly horrible. I have uninstalled the 11 version and then tried to download (fdirectly from this boards) and Install the 10.3 and once it finished downloading, when it is set to start the installation, i get the message that the flash 10.3 cannot be installed because there is a newer version, that i should install that one, and so doe not let me Install the 10.3 version, and i am an NHL Gamecenter Subscriber and NFL Game Pass subscriber and live streaming video is horrible in the 11 version, is half speed, it looks crooked and on a bad resolution when i click the Full Screen button and none of those happened with the old 10.3 version. Please if someone can help me. Thank you very much in advance!

    I've also experiencing the same issue on one of our freash computer builds today (never had Flash 11.x.x.x in it before). This computer had Flash 10.1.x.x installed (not 11.x.x.x), I tried to install 10.3.183.10 and a pop-up window comes up saying: "The version of Adobe Flash Player that you are trying to install is not the most current version. Please visit the Player Download Center to obtain the latest, most secure version.". The link takes you to the latest Flash 11.x.x.x patch.
    I then uninstalled 10.1.x.x, rebooted the machine and tried to install 10.3.183.10 and got the same error message. Next I copied 10.3.183.11 to a local dir on the machine and tried to run it but it gives me the same error as above.
    I've patched a couple of other machines that had 10.3.183.10 to .10.3.183.11 w/ out any problems though.

  • I am trying to install flash player on my 10.5.8 mac. I have "install flash player" download onto my computer but when I try to open it, it closes and says that it "quit unexpectedly." what should I do?

    ya that's my questioin\

    Hello,
    You'll need to install Flash Player 10.3.183.90, the last version supported for OS X 10.5.8. Download the archive zip file, http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_10.3.183.90_archive.z ip, and extract the contents. Then navigate inside the 10_3_r183_90 directory and use the file named flashplayer_10_3r183_90_mac_intel.dmg.

  • Installing Flash Player 11.8.800.94 via GPO not working properly

    Hello,
    i've installed Flash Player 11.8.800.94 via GPO.
    Installation works fine, but there is no flash player available in Firefox or Internet Explorer.
    Deployed both Flash Players.

    Hello Comvel.
    RE:
    Hello,
    i haven't fixed it yet.
    I've deployed the last few version of flash player without any problems.
    I haven't found any new things in the admin guide.
    The plugins don't show up in both browsers. I can't enable them.
    On the most importent clients, i've installed flash player manually.
    I know it has been a few months since your post but, I was wonderingif you were able to find a solution for this that didn't involve manual installations. I've recently deployed 11.8.800.175 and am running into the same problems. Some work stations are just fine. But others, (both windows 7 and xp, all IE8) are not working. When navigating to a site like youtube, theres a banner that says update is needed. When you go to manage add-ons there is no shock object/add on.

  • 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

  • My windows surface tablet wont allow me to install flash player. how can i install it?

    my windows surface tablet wont allow me to install flash player.

    You don't need to install it; Flash Player is already preinstalled on all Windows 8 editions.
    For troubleshooting see http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-issues-windows-8.html
    Use Windows Update to update to the latest Flash Player version.
