Installing Flash Player with new Google Chrome

hello, i need help. i decided to try out the new google
chrome and it works really well, but the flash player is not
updated...so i've been trying to do so but its either my computer
won't let me or somethings wrong.
i can put the "install flash drive" thing or button on my
desktop..i press it. it asks to run it and i do. it looks like its
installing but then it completes and just says close. i press close
and nothing happens... i go back to say youtube and it didn't work.
whats going on? can you help me?

Technically since it's still in beta it's unsupported.
However, if you have a previous Flash Player PLUGIN install on your
system, then installing Chrome should just pick up that plugin.
So if you had Firefox already, with the Flash Player 10
plugin working, you wouldn't need to do anything.
But if you only had IE with Flash, then you only have the
Flash Player ACtiveX control, not the plugin. And chrome won't work
with that. At that point if you have install issues with the plugin
you should actually contact Google (because it's beta..) if they
have Flash Player issues they'll work with us directly to address
them for their final release.
Now, if SOME sites work, like youtube, then you do NOT have a
Flash Player install problems. Rather, sites that do not work have
a Flash Player DETECTION problem, and you should inform them of
this as well.
You can file chrome bugs here:
http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.com/
That all said, I have seen some chrome Flash Player
workarounds out there, though they use a somewhat extra-legal
download of the player. So I won't mention them here. But I'm sure
you could find them if you need one..

Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by clicking one of the following links.

Thanks Mike,
I followed your instructions and I created a new administrator account in Windows7.
From this new administrator account properly installed Flash Player and it works.
As for the old administrator account does not work, I have to check that may be happening in Windows 7.
Thank you very much for helping me to find the problem.

I can't install flash player with a non-administrative user

Hi,
in my job, we've just rebuild a server, with a clean Windows
2003 installation, all users are working with Terminal Server. The
problem is that we are unable to install Flash player in IE7 on a
user who have no administrative permissions but it works fine
firefox. It gives the following error (translate from spanish to
english ): "Error to copy Erma.inf. It's impossinle to copy this
file to the destination folder".
So far, we give permissions to all users in
C:\windows\system32\Macromed
Any idea?
Thanks for all

Hi G K,

Problems installing Flash player with IE

I am having problems with installing the macromedia Flash
player on Internet Explorer 6 on Windows 2000 pro. However the
thing is that with Firefox the flash player works fine. I tried
uninstalling and reinstalling the flash player with no success. The
install program will tell me flash player is installed, however on
every website with flash I get the square with the red cross in the
upper corner.
When browsing this forum I came across this thread:
Forum
thread .
In this thread it was advised to use the uninstaller which
can be found here:
Uninstaller. However
when I use this installer two files are left in the folder
c:\WINNT\System32\Macromed\Flash. The two files are GetFlash and
Flash9.ocx. When I try to remove the Flash folder manually I get
the following error message: Can not delete the file Flash9.ocx The
file is in use by another program. When I reboot and go the folder
again I still get this message. Could this be a problem so that the
Flash player will not install properly?
I hope that someone could help me fix this problem. In the
mean time I will use Mozilla Firefox as this browser does work how
it's supposed to.

Hi,
Which windows version you are currently using ?
If you are using Windows 8 or 8.1, then Flash Player for Internet explorer is updated by the windows update by Microsoft so you need to update your Windows to get the latest version of Flash player.
Current version is 17.0.0.169

Problem with MSIE after installing Flash Player with sysprep

Hello,
do you have any news regarding this problem?
I installed flash ver 11.6 and I have the same problem on more than 50 machines.
please let me know

I've branched this to a new discussion. The issue in the previous thread has already been resolved. Also, we would highly recommend that you deploy the latest version of Flash Player (11.7.700.169 as of today), as previous versions have known vulnerabilities.
First, make sure that you're not running into the ActiveX filtering problem:
Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer - http://forums.adobe.com/thread/885448?tstart=0
ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer 9 - http://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968?tstart=0
After that, make sure that your users actually have permission to run the Flash Player binaries.
If that looks good, try installing Flash Player the same way, but on a machine that has stock Group Security Policies (your PDC may be pushing down rules that cause Flash Player not to work).
If you're still stuck after that, we'll help you troubleshoot it further.
Thanks.

Installing Flash Player with Windows Vista Home Premium

I'm trying to install Flash Player on an older system running Windows Vista Home Premium. Do I need an older version of Flash Player?

Actually, unlike Adobe Reader, Flash Player is officially supported on Vista: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/tech-specs.html

Flash Player crashes in Google Chrome

Flash Player in Google Chrome constantly becomes unresponsive and crashes. On different games, both on facebook and zynga.com. I'm using the "bundled" version. Should I try a different version? If so what?

I'd recommend taking a look at this FAQ for details on how you can report Google Chrome related issues and possible workaround/troubleshooting steps.

Problem installing flash player with I.E

Whilst surfing around the internet this morning I vaguely remember getting a message about needing an adobe flash player update shortly followed by my browser crashing. I didn't think much more of it but from this afternoon onwards I discovered that almost every website i visited would throw up a "This website wants to run the Following add-on: 'Adobe Flash Player' from 'Adobe System Incorporation'. If you trust the website and the following add-on and want to allow it to run, Click Here..." message at the top of the page.
I tried resetting Internet Explorer 8's security settings to default (i think they were default anyway) but this made no difference. I went to the adobe website to attempt to install the latest flash player but every time i went to the installation page it would refresh itself after about 5 seconds with a "This tab has been recovered. A problem with this web page caused Internet Explorer to close and reopen the tab" message at the top of the page. The page would then refresh again, this time ending up with a "We were unable to return you to adobe.com. Internet Explorer has stopped trying to restore this website." error page.
In an effort to resolve these problems I uninstalled adobe flash player using the adobe uninstaller (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html), rebooted my computer and attempted to install the flash player again. Once again I couldn't install it with my attempts again ending up at the "We were unable to return you to adobe.com. Internet Explorer has stopped trying to restore this website." error page.
I just tried downloading the Firefox browser and have had no problem installing and using the adobe flash player so I am guessing the problem is some sort of issue between adobe and internet explorer- any solutions?
Thanks :-)

Hi, You didn't say what version of IE you are using, but most likely IE7 or IE8. It's some option in the browser I'm sure.
Since you ran the Uninstaller, and it Uninstalls all Flash Player from All browsers, try this Adobe Installer that you will download and SAVE to your Desktop. Then close all browsers, keep your Security setting on Medium for the Internet Zone, be sure to use the Administrator account(only one that has permission). Check your system tray (area by the clock) and disable any application that uses Flash, as Messenger services.
Run the Installer from your Desktop and when it is finished, be sure to Reboot(restart) your computer.
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
Then test here:

Check your websites to see if they are working properly.

Anyone having trouble installing Flash Player with latest Firefox?

I can't get Flash Player to work on Firefox (Windows 8.1). Works just fine in IE but when I try to add it as an add-on for Firefox it goes to manual install and then fails, with message that it is already running in another application. I disabled it in IE in case that was the problem, but using the Check function shows it isn't on my computer. I've tried the things on the Help page but my Firefox (most current version) menu doesn't have any of the options shown such as enable Java. I have even tried uninstalling and re-installing Firefox. I already have Shockwave for Director as an add-on, but even before I put that in it happened.

The ActiveX plugin for IE functions independently of the Firefox plugin.
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Download (Save - DON'T run) that and reboot.
Run it from your Downloads folder.

Pepper flash player broken in google chrome.

Firstly I realise that the pepper player is a google implementation however this situation is completely unacceptable.
I can't belive that adobe has let google release this implementation of the flash player.
It is unacceptable that you have to disable the pepper player only to have re-enabled when the user updates their flash player.
I can't tell every one of my customers to diable the pepper player that is ridiculous.
Will this be sorted out any time soon?
It's ruining my buisness as nothing I have designed works properly in chrome unless they turn of the pepper player.
(Which is hidden very well in chrome browser.)
And don't say its not adobe's issue cause it is.
SORT IT OUT ADOBE!

Moved this to the Adobe Flash section of the forums. This here is for Adobe Business Catalyst - different thing.
