Installing Flash Player on a Virtual Machine

Host OS: Linux Mint 17, Mate
VMware 6
Windows XP Home SP2
Opera 11.5
It starts to install then says there is a connection error when there is not. Telling me to just try the same steps over again does not cut it. Either I need to know why the installer thinks there is a connection problem, or I need to be able to install off-line. Actually, the latter would be simpler and preferable. Oh yes, one more thing. I opt out from downloading Google Chrome, just in case that makes a difference.
I need this to run applications that use SWF files for video content within the program. Therefore a browser plugin will not work for these.

Hi,
Sorry, I over-looked that in your original post. The connection error could be due to a few different issues. We'll need to obtain some log files to troubleshoot further. Can you please do the following to obtain the log files:
Create an empty text file named ADM.trace inside your %temp% directory (usually C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserID\Local Settings\Temp in XP)
Run the online installer again
After the connection error returns, provide the following log files using the instructions here How to share a document:
The ADM.trace file created in step 1
The two log files saved at C:\Users\YourUserID\AppData\Local\Temp\Adobe_ADMLogs
Post the URL to the uploaded log files in your reply.
When downloading the file are you saving it locally or do you select 'Run' from the download/save dialog?
Thank you.

Can't install flash player on 90% of office machines

Right we're running various HP's here all XP most with XP SP2
a few with SP3.
If I try to install flash player on them all it does is
basically refresh the adobe screen,.
I go here
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&promoi d=BUIGP
Click on Agree and Install now , and the web page just
refreshes .
I've tried the version checker and it comes up with nothing
so guess it's not installed.
Tried the uninstall utility , checked the Internet explorer
settings, and tried Download SubInACL from Microsoft to fix
permission issues that prevent the Flash Player installation.
All to no avail. Followed them to the letter to.
Please can someone help, we're a media company and not being
able to play flash files it a big problem.

OK so for a laugh after bashing my head against bosses laptop
for the entire morning and still getting the same as above.
I thought I'd go back to the BBC website and play a video.
It works. When I run the version checker it says WIN
9,0,124,0 now so it's definitly on there.
How and when it installed as everytime I've run the install
all that's happened is the above mentioned screen refresh.
Wish I did know would make doing the other machiens so much
easier.
So just got to try this on all the other machines now.

Hi,
This is a security setting on your system that is resulting in this behaviour, not Flash Player installer itself, or anything with the installer. There are many Google search results on this. The first hit I got, was the following from the Microsoft forums:
To unblock a software publisher:
1. In Internet Explorer, click the Tools button, and then click Internet Options.
2. Go to the Content tab, Look under the Certificates section.
3. Click on Publishers button.
4. Select the Untrusted Publishers tab.
5. Select the Publisher you wish to unblock and click the Remove button.

How can I install flash player on another machine?

Hi
I would like download and install flash player on my
production pc for the use of flash web development, but that
machine does not have an internet connection. I was wondering if
there is anywhere I can get an actual downloadable setup file and
transfer it to that machine via media rather than connecting it to
the internet?
Hope you can help
Kind Regards

Installing Flash Player 12 on Windows Server 2008 R2 X64 with IE 8

I have an app that runs on Windows Server 2008 R2 X64 that requires Flash Player 12. When I try to install Flash Player 12 it says that Windows Server R2 X64 is not supported by way of eliminating it from the list of supported operating systems. When I do a search I can find many people who indicate they have it running or explain "hacks" to get it running. Since the app requires it there is an implimcation that it should be running on this OS. What is the offical word on this? This is a production server and I really don't want an "unsupported hack" running in this environment. Is there a supported means of having Flash Player 12 run on Windows Server 2008 R2 X64 with IE8 even if it is within the 32 bit version of the browser?

Server 2008 (x86) is supported, and I had an x64 machine set up last month that had FP12 installed and running in IE and Firefox. 64 bit IE wouldn't run it for some reason, but the 32 bit did. It installed in C/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash and C/Windows/SysWOW64/Macromed/Flash, but I was unable to get the ActiveX plug-in to enable outside of 32 bit IE.
I also set up a Server 2012 machine that DID support the x64 ActiveX, but that's probably not an option for you.
Like you, I'd be leery of "hacks" to get it to run as an x64 pkug-in, as it may have unintended and undesired consequences in other areas.

Problem installing Flash Player with IE7

I have attempted to download and install Adobe Flash Player 10 on my machine running IE7. It goes through all the steps without any error messages. I get to the browser window where it shows a movie to prove that the installaion was successful and there is nothging there. I go to add/remove programs on Control Panel and there is no Flash Player on the program list. I have followed all the tech support steps relative to Active X, Pop-up blockers and Internet Security to no avail. No error message and it says that the installation went fine, but no Flash Player. Is there a way to download an executable and run it outside of IE7?
Thanks
Rob

It should have been located at the bottom right. It is grayed out until you hi light Shockwave Flash.
If that didn't work, then do this. Go to Tools, click on Internet Options, look for Settings, click on it, look for View Objects. This opens
the window "Downloaded Program Files" This shows your Active X add ons. Find Shockwave Flash, right click on it and this opens a small window that shows "Update, Remove or Properties" Click on Update, when completed, close and Reboot.

Install Flash Player 9 for OSX

I’ve installed Flash Player 9 for OSX and it
doesn’t seem to work. I’m not experiencing anything
similar to previous threads. I don’t get any errors and the
installation seems to go fine but when I return to any site that
requires Flash Player 9 it tells me that I need to install the
latest version, which I’ve done. I’ve even uninstalled
and then reinstalled with the same result. Did I miss something
here?

I have been having the same problem since installing Leopard.
I have tried suggestions from others:
there are no browsers running when I install Flash Player
I have repaired permissions (both before and after
installing)
I have uninstalled before reinstalling
None of these work. I am unable to view Flash content in
Safari, Firefox or Internet Explorer. I am using a G5 Mac desktop
and have had no previous problems with the Flash player on this
machine.

Can't Install Flash Player On Mac Without Admin Password

I've already posted about this, but I didn't get a meaningful answer, and another user who posted with the exact same issue was also unanswered.
My question is very simple: How do I install Flash Player on a Mac without an admin password? The downloadable installer demands one before it will do anything. When I click "show package contents" and extract the Flash installer package, open it up manually, and unzip the archive inside it, I get an unusable "Flash Player.plugin.lzma" file.
I need a way to decompress the Flash Player.plugin.lzma file.
OR
I need a link to download the Flash Player plugin, as in the actual "Flash Player.plugin" file, and NOT an installer app, which the main download link offers.
OR
An installer program that can extract and install the Flash Player file into ~/Library/Internet Plugins and do so WITHOUT demanding an admin password.

This password prompt is presented by your operating system, and is intended to keep you from accidentally installing software.
If this is your personal machine and you don't need a password to log into the computer when it first starts up, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to get past this prompt. If this is your personal machine and your normal password isn't working, check to make sure that CAPS LOCK is off, and type the password carefully.
If this is your work machine and it's asking for an Administrator password, well, you'll need to have a conversation with your friendly IT person.
If you're still stumped, you may need to reset the password on your Mac:

By Pass Admin Rights when installing Flash Player 9

We currently incoporate Flash Player 9 with our proprietary
application so our clients users may utilize it efficiently. The
issue is now we are in the process of rolling the application to
user's across the country and a good percentage of the do not have
Flash Player 9 installed on their machine. The user's are behind a
very strict, and enforced network with little to no priviledges. Is
there a setting or a way that I can inform their network security
team, to allow them this capability to install it on their own. I
do not want to lower their security policy or elavate their rights,
but definetly want the user to download and install Flash Player
ONLY. Please any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

I am running OS X, and I just installed flash player 9. I am
not able to look at any flash sites anymore. I have been
installing, reinstalling, uninstalling and nothing seems to work. I
am not very computer saavy, but i can normally figure these thing
out. Adobe is no help at all. I feel as though I should reinstall
everything over again on my mac. Please let me know if it is
possible to fix this bug.
Have you had any response Bill? Is there a mac help forum for
this?

Trouble installing Flash Player 9

Hi, I am trying to install Flash Player 9 and having a hard time. I have uninstalled 10 and downloaded the archived folder for nine. when I try to install 9r124_winax.exe it starts to install and then I get a popup that tells me it is not the most current version and that I can go to Adobe to get the most current one. The only option is to click OK, then the download stops. I don't want version 10 as it freezes a web page I need for school. Is there anyway I can work around this popup page and get version 9 installed. Thanks

I think the problem you are having is because you already have a Flash Player installed. You will need to uninstall Flash Player 10 from your machine before installing Flash Player 9. To uninstall Flash Player grab the uninstaller for your operating system from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html. Note that running this uninstaller removes all Flash Players from your computer so Flash will no longer work in any browser until you install a new Flash Player for that browser. Adobe has seperate installers for Internet Explorer and FireFox/Safari.
Once the uninstaller finishes you can install a new Flash Player. Get the Flash Player you want from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html, be sure to run the installer for the browser you are using. Note you should close your browser for the whole process of uninstall and install.
Good luck.
Sean
