Is there any point in installing flash player 11.8.800 +

I keep getting an invitation every time I reboot to install an update of Adobe Flash Player 11.8.800 16.9 mbs into my Dell vostro 1500 laptop in the U.K. with Vista.
I have tried to install it but it always fails to complete installation. I can find no information as to whether installing this update will be of any value, as I rarely use Adobe, and when I do everything works ok, so what on earth is the point of these habitual updating invitations? Will I suffer in any way if I just ignore them because they will not download.
Also with the invitation it also indicates it will install McAfeesecurity scan plus. What the hell is that? What has it got to do with an Adobe flash player. I did have McAfee securty a long time ago but found it poor compared to AVG so i now have AVG installed paid for till 2014 and do not want to go back to McAfee.Anyway I understood that if you have any virus security system, you should not attempt to install a a rival virus security system because they are likely to interfere with one another so increase your chances of getting a virus. So why am I being advised to install this with the Adobe flash player that I keep being invited to install. It all sounds like a big scam to me? Can someone please enlighten me. Thanking you

Do you get any error messages when trying to install?
Anyway, try the offline installer from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header (under the heading Progress bar hangs...).
As for the bundled 3rd-party software, the offline installer does not contain any.

  • 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.
    Tried to reinstall Flash Player 11.8.800.94 for Firefox, but it's still not active.

    Greetings,

    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.

  • Trouble installing Flash Player 11.8.800.94 on Macintosh

    I have had repeated trouble installing Flash Player 11.8.800.94 on Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) despite following every step listed in the Macintosh Installation Help guide: uninstalling previous versions, turning off anti-virus protection, etc. Each time I get a warning message for both Safari and Firefox attempted installations as follows: "Error: General installation error." The only solution seemed to be to reinstall an earlier version: 11.7.700.225.
    Any suggestions?

    If you're not comfortable with terminal commands:
    Download the offline installer here (right click and "Save as")
    Quit all browsers
    Go to: MacHD/Library/Internet Plugins... and if the Flash Player.plugin is still there "trash it".
    Then go to: Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe and "trash" the Flash Player folder if it's still there.
    Empty the trash.
    Mount the DMG and run the installer
    Relaunch Firefox and it should work

  • Installing Flash Player 11.8.800.94

    I have been trying to install Flash Player 11.8.800.94 for weeks. Everytime I install the install bar stalls out around 52% and I get an error message.
    I've uninstalled 11.7.700.225 and tried again. Still the same results. Checked Flash install site (Adobe) followed instruction and
    still the same.
    Could someone help me out.
    I'm using a Mac Pro, 2.66 GHz Quad-Core Xeon. OS X 10.7.5

    Hi HJMann42.
    Seems to me that the download is being blocked by a firewall or something.
    Try installing using this archived zip file.
    http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_11.8.800.94_archive.z ip
    1. Extract the zip
    2. Navigate into 11_8_r800_94
    3. Run the uninstaller - "uninstall_flashplayer11_8r800_94_mac.dmg"
    4. Run the installer - "flashplayer11_8r800_94_mac.dmg"
    Hope that helps!

    There is no help for this:
    2008 (March) - Apple® released the first iPhone, using iOS®. Steve Jobs was insistent and adamant that iOS® was NOT compatible with Flash® and NEVER WILL BE. Jobs' reasoning was that playing Flash® content is processor consumptive and it drains batteries, thus shortening the life of them in mobile devices. In six years, that hasn't changed. Not for the iPhone®, iPad® or iPod® Touch™. It never will change and there never will be a Flash Player® for iOS®.
    Apple recommends SkyFire if you absolutely must view Flash content with an iOS device.

  • After updating, install error "Install Flash Player.exe - Entry point not found"

    My current version of Flash Player is: 11.1.102.55. Then after an Update is performed and the download is downloaded, then it tries to install the download and an error message occurs. The error message says - Install Flash Player.exe - Entry point not found - then it says The procedure entry point  SetDllDirectoryW could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNAL32.dll.
    When I try to uninstall Flash Player I get the same error message above except that it says Uninstall_Flash_Player.exe instead of Install Flash Player.exe.
    I'm running WIN2000, my current version of Flash Player is 11.1.102.55 and I’m running Firefox version 12.0.

    I believe 10.1.102.64 was the last supported version of Flash Player for Win2k.  That being said, there have been numerous users that have been able to work around the error you are receiving.  Please see this post for details:

  • 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.

  • 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.

    See if BNN has an app in the app store or do without.
    Adobe does not make a flash player for ipod/ipad/iphone and likely never will.

  • Installing Flash Player, any version

    I've tried installing Flash Player 13 on my iMac. I'm running OS X 10.9.2. I've tried the installation on both Safari and Firefox. I've read the notice that Adobe is working on the problem and followed the suggestion that I uninstall Flash Player and then install version 12. The problem is once uninstalling was successful when I tried to install version 12 I kept getting a window saying the page that the link is supposed to take me to couldn't be found. Now I have no version of Flash Player and can't view anything requiring this plugin on the web. Can anyone please give me a way around this problem? Thanks for your help.

    Hi,
    I suddenly can't install flash player on my iMac. I am running iMac OS 10.10.2, Safari 8.0.4. I have removed the old flash player and tried a fresh install, but it stops at 25% or 30% in the download window. I have tried with disrepair tool, to clean the computer, but this doesn't help. I have tried with Firefox, a no go. I have cancelled Firewall, doesn't help. I have in my settings, all apps, still no solution.
    I am running out of possible ways to solve this problem. I can se many others macusers have the same problem with installing flash.
    Anybody has a great idea?
