Installing flash player(error internet explorer)

When I try to install flash player is gives me an error message that I need to get
out of internet explorer. what does that mean?

It means that you need to close all Internet Explorer windows.
If you still get that message after closing IE, check with the Task Manager (Processes tab) if iexplore.exe is still running in the background.
P.S. you must also close any Messenger applications that are running.

Unable to download or install flash player for internet explorer

I recently reinstalled the entire operating system (windows 7) on my pc and since doing so ive been re-installing a lot of software, flash player works perfectly on chrome but is not installed for internet explorer 10, whenever the add-on is detected as missing, and im prompted to download it via https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/, the page simply doesn't load (see screenshot), ive attempted downloading it via chrome and then enabling it, but it still doesn't show up, i've simply run out of options

1. Internet Explorer 11 is the latest release. You might want to check for Windows updates to get IE11.
2. Concerning Adobe Flash Player for IE. Click on the following Adobe link. Go down to the bottom where it says "Still having problems?" and click on the link for Internet Explorer.

Cannot install Flash Player using Internet explorer

When I click Dowload for Adobe Flash Player I get a new windo
w that shows 4 steps that might occur during
the download. I get none of them, so I don't know what to do. Please help.

I joined this thread because I had the same problem to ernstbandit as per the original post in this thread.
I was also having the problem on the Adobe download page that ernstbandit described in a later post "Depending on your security setting, you may encounter these steps: Steps 1,2,3,4." Once I get to that spot there are no further things to click on. None of the steps appear". Exactly my problem.
I turned off my AV (Latest Norton) as instructed by Adobe message.
I'm confident that the download issue has nothing to do with the Flash program.   The download issue is a problem trying to initiate a download from the Adobe site http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ using IE8.   The download breaks before the download starts. This is only an IE8 issue.   My Firefox and Chrome can download.
The link http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html downloads and installs from IE8. But my Flash still hangs (after reboot).
My 2nd problem (and why I was trying to download) was that Flash was hanging in IE8
To get mine working I had to:
Uninstall Flash Player (both Plugin And Active X)
Re install from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html using IE8
This then worked in IE8 but not in Firefox.
I then installed againg from Firefox using http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
To get it working in multiple browsers looks like you need to do IE8 first.   And this may have been my original problem.   As I normally use Firefox I probably initially loaded the upgrade from Firefox.
Why are you asked about your OS and browser when you download Flash?
Why are there 2 choices for Browser IE8 and Other?
And does this mean that Flash may not work if you run multiple browsers?
To the others I would suggest if IE8 is giving you grief try Firefox, I had used IE4, IE5, IE6 and IE7 but have found perfomance of IE8 on my aging and overloaded laptop dire.
I only keep IE8 as my default browser because Automatic Windows Updates don't work if IE is not your default browser.

Solution center suddenly ask for enabling Adobe Flash player for internet explorer for scanning

Solution center suddenly ask for enabling Adobe Flash player for internet explorer for scanning. However, flash player is installed and enabled, but HP Solution center keeps asking for enabling and doesn't let me scan.
Any suggestion?

Hello there! Welcome to the forums @yuvalyanai
I read about the issue you are having with scanning, as you are seeing a message to enable Adobe Flash player.
To begin, I would like to know some more information:
Which operating system you are running and which printer you are working with?
How Do I Find My Model Number?
Which Windows Operating System am I running?
Can you make copies successfully?
Can you print from your computer?
Have you tried updated Adobe Flash player?
Can you scan successfully from Microsoft Paint?
How is your printer connected to your PC, wireless, ethernet or USB?
In the meantime, try resetting the printer:
Press the Power button to turn on the product.
With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Wait at least 15 seconds.
Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
I hope to hear from you, have a wonderful weekend

Unable to download flash Player via internet explorer

Hi,
I am trying to download adobe flash player via internet explorer. Everytime I try to download,the web page does not respond anymore.

I really need to download this via explorer because my HP printer (vivera with scanner) is not going to work if the coreect version is not downloaded via explorer.
Would appreciate your help.
Thank yuo.

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums,
Download these Flash Player installers :

Save both of them on your Hard Disk and install them. (In Any Sequence)
Note : Make sure no programs are running while installing them (Like IE or Messenger)
Hope it helps !!
Thanks

Fix for Flash Player in Internet Explorer Issue

I've seen quite a few people with this issue and they all
seem to have issues finding the fix...I never found a 100% solution
on Adobe's site, but I found some directions that finally worked.
Basically, if Flash Player refuses to work in Internet
Explorer for you (but works in other browsers if you've tried) then
follow the steps available at
Fix
Flash Player in Internet Explorer .
It's basically a mashup of various directions available on
Adobe & Microsoft's websites with links to all the files that
you will need to download. Hopefully Adobe can use the list to
create a fix that works.

Hopefully this FAQ will help:
How do I install Flash Player on Windows 8?

Flash Player for Internet Explorer has to be reinstalled

Every time I'm booting my computer, Flash Player for Internet Explorer has to be installed. I'm using Win7, 64 bits. Without reinstalling, Real Player will not play offline. However, when accessing YouTube with IE, it plays the video without reinstalling. Computers are fun!

You need to close all iexplore.exe processes; use the Task Manager's Processes tab.

Can't install the Flash Player for Internet Explorer

Hi.
Today, I started noticing my videos were stuttering a lot (something that doesn't usually happen on my computer) and I thought my Flash Player was glitching out, so I uninstalled it and deleted the registry keys for it via Iobit Uninstaller. I restarted and then re-downloaded the player.
The Firefox/Chrome/Opera etc. version installed smoothly and now works perfectly fine. In the case of the Internet Explorer installer, however, it says that a newer version of the player is already installed.
I'm using Windows 8 (64-bit) and IE10; from what I've been reading, IE10 comes with a pre-installed Flash Player. The problem is I don't seem to have it anymore. It doesn't show up in my IE Add-on list (http://i.imgur.com/mkm4JQf.png) and whenever I try to watch a video or something that requires Adobe Flash Player, it says I need the player.
Things I have tried so far:
downloaded the Adobe Uninstaller to uninstall the Player and then reinstall it;
checked if ActiveX Filtering was enabled (it was not);
reset IE settings to default;
installed Adobe Flash Player beta (it wouldn't let me; it said my Windows came with the latest version of the player);
ran the 32-bit version of the browser;
checked for possible Windows updates (it's up-to-date);
tried to downgrade the browser, without success (the IE10 update doesn't show up in my Control Panel's updates uninstallation screen);
tried to run System Restore (it failed; it said my antivirus had to be disabled, and I did, but it still wouldn't restore).
Normally, I wouldn't really mind it, since I don't even use the browser directly; software I'm using, however, requires IE (and its Flash Player) to run.
Thanks in advance.

Flash Player and Internet Explorer

I continual get a message that I cannot view something because I need the latest flash player. I download and upgrade the flash player and it happens again the next day. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong. It has something to do with IE. I can view the items under Chrome.

Chrome has its own Flash Player plugin and it functions independently of IE or any IE plugins.

I suddenly cannot startup Captivate 4 for reason Flash Player for Internet Explorer not installed or older version, but I have verified that Flash Player 16,0,0,235 is installed. Please help.

Hi,
I haven't used my Adobe Captivate 4 for a bit, but when I try to start it up, I get the following message:
"The Flash Player for Microsoft Internet Explorer, is not installed or its an older version.
You will automatically be redirected to the Adobe website to download the latest Flash Player.
Please note that the Adobe Captivate cannot be used until the Flash Player is installed."
Even if I click the OK button and reinstall the Flash Player, I still get the same message, when I try to startup Captivate.
I have verified that I'm running Flash player 16,0,0,235, which is supposed to be the latest version.
I'm running Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 11.
Please help.

The problem is that your version of Captivate 4 needs to be updated with a patch that Adobe used to supply. (I don't have a link anymore to it.)
Captivate 4 was unable to recognise Flash Player versions beyond a certain number. It gives you a misleading error message that makes it look like you have the wrong version of Flash Player. But the real problem is that Captivate needs to be patched to recognise the latest FP versions.
I'm hoping that someone from the Adobe Captivate team will chime in here and give us another link to download the patch. Otherwise, you really might be forced to upgrade to a newer version of Cp. However, if your current projects are being built in Cp4, your next issue will be that if you purchase Cp8 it will NOT be able to upgrade your Cp4 projects. You'd need to download a trial version of Cp5 or 5.5, and do a two-step upgrade.
