Keep trying to download and install flash player

My flash player quit working, so I upgraded it. A few days ago, it just dies. I can't find it anywhere on my computer. So I tried to download and install the newest flash player. It initializes and begins installing. Then stops and asks me to turn off Internet explorer, which I do and click RETRY. I then get and ERROR: Application is currently in use.
What is going on? If i tell it to install Chrome, it stops that and says it is already installed. I can't find this program either. It was obviously installed when I last updated flash player. So why can I not play any videos now?

Try to download and run the appropriate offline installer from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#ins tall_in_a_firewall_proxy_server_environment

You need flash player version for your browser or desktop?

A facebook game (ZumaBlitz) That I have been playing for years is causing me to be prompted to download and install flash player, when I do it still doesn't work.

Why has Zuma Blitz and other games stopped working? I have downloaded and installed flash player but it still doesn't work.

IE uses a different version of Flash than other browsers use.
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.

Cannot download and install Flash Player tried numerous times and it says installed

Adobe Flash Player / Version: 11.9.900.117
Laptop running Windows 32-bit XP / English M.S.I.E.

Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by right clicking the following link: Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer) and selecting "Save target as".
Save it to your Downloads folder - DO NOT run it yet.
Reboot your system.
BEFORE opening anything else, go to your Downloads folder and run the installer.
If IE still gives you trouble, see: Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer and ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer to be sure it's enabled and ActiveX isn't blocking content.

Please help me download and install Flash Player!

One day, I had no problems viewing Flash on my computer. Then
one day last week, it told me I needed to download Flash Player 8
to view The Vine on E!Online. I haven't been able to download Flash
Player 8 or 9. Or anything from this site, for that matter.
I went here (
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&promoi d=BIOW),
clicked download. Clicked the yellow strip that appeared to install
the Active X control or whatever it's called. A pop-up asked if I
wanted to install or do not install. I clicked install, then
nothing happens. No download box shows up or anything.
I've un-installed my flash player (if i even had one) and
have tried so many times to download a new flash player.
PLEASE HELP!

ive uploaded the exe file to my server, so
go
here and save it to your comp, unzip the file, and run the
program.

Can't download and install Flash player on Win 7, 64 bit machine

Firefox and Adobe Flash Player do not play well together. It would be great if they could seamlessly update and be done with it...
I have manually uninstalled the FP with the adobe uninstall utility
I have tried downloading with the on-line flash player install but it hangs after downloading ~100kb.
I then attempted to download the manual installer for FF at: http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_play er.exe
Incredibly slow download, 205kb after 20 minutes from a broadband internet connection.
How do I resolve this? Who do I complain to, Adobe, Firefox or both? Updates should not be a problem with new equipment...

not a valid Win32 application....
That indicates that the download is corrupted; you have to download it again!
The downloaded file (plugin installer) should be 2.65MB = 2,724KB = 2,788,816 bytes.
Can you download the installer from another computer / network connection, then transfer it to your computer with a memory stick or other media?

Not able to download and install flash player

I have tried several times to download the current flash player for IE 8.
I get this error and have not been able to resolve it.
Windows Data Execution Prevention detected an add-on trying to use system memory incorrectly. This can be caused by a malfunction or a malicious add-on.
Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

First, OS is XP SP3
Second, did not use unistaller
Third, here are the addons (I hope this is what you wanted...)

Problems downloading and installing Flash Player on Windows 7.

I have windows 7 and when i went to update my current version of Adobe Flash Player i would go to the page and only a few things would show up. For example: It would say to press the Install Now button to go ahead with the download but that button would never show up. So i uninstalled the flash player all together. Then when i went to this page the Install Now button would show up. So i would go along with the instructions of selecting yes on both prompts for the download. And when i hit yes the second time nothing happens. I went through some troubleshooting with my internet options and my Active X controls. I'm not sure what to do at this point.

Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by clicking one of the following links.
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

How to download and install Flash Player off line?

I prefer to install SW off line.
Can I, and if so how do that with Flash Player.
I use both browsers, IE & Firefox (on Win 2000). Do I
need to do separate installations?
The above goes for Shockwave too.
Thanks,
David

Can't download and install Flash Player

First off, when I click the Flash Player download button, Internet
Explorer 8 closes the tab.
Then I get this:
Every link within Adobe.com website that I click on when I go back to the website to try and troubleshoot, I get the above message. What is this?
I already used the Adobe Flash Uninstaller, because I read on the website that it had to be uninstalled prior to downloading in order to get the most current version.
This all was prompted today because I was on youtube and when I tried to watch a video clip I got the message that my Flash Player needed to be updated. Which I thought was weird because it had just download an automatic update this morning. Regadless, I went to Adobe's website to get the newest version and that's what started all of this.
PLEASE HELP ME
In case you can't read the above attached pic., this is what the message says:
ProductMap_kbSmall.processor.importStylesheet:Could not retreive a valid progID of Class: MSXML2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument.3.0. (original exception: undefined)
Message was edited by: got2monkeys

Well, I haven't tried the first solution given, but I did get it working again. Although it isn't the newest version of Flash Player. What I did was a
system restore to a specific date. I went to system restore and restored my computer to the previous restore point. Which in my case happened to be just the day prior to the automatic update, which was the cause of my problems. It's working normal now. But as I said it's not the most current version. I do plan to try the link from my first responder. Thanks for the help.

Download and Install Flash Player

Hi, everyone!
I have run into several instances lately where the download
and installation of the Adobe Flash Player does not work. I have
tested this on 4 machines (3 laptops and 1 pc - all Windows XP
Professional). They have been in different environments. In every
instance, I can see the Flash example on the download page and get
a successful installation message. But, when I try to run a
Captivate movie (.swf), I get the "Windows cannot open this file"
association message.
I have talked with others, including Adobe folks at the ASTD
Conference in San Diego, and no one else has encountered this. Does
anyone have a suggestion as to what is going on?
Thanks!
Bob

Hi Bob
Here is my guess. If you are simply double-clicking a .SWF
from inside Windows Explorer, you are relying upon the Windows file
association to determine what to do with the .SWF. I'm guessing
that just because the player is successfully installed in the
browser, it doesn't mean an association has been created in
Windows.
I might suggest creating a File Association in Windows that
would point to Internet Explorer if you double clicked a .SWF from
Windows Explorer. Then IE would open and probably display the .SWF
without complaining.
Cheers... Rick

On my Yahoo emails and certain websites I get an error message. I download and install Flash Player and I still get the error. How can I fix this? It's very annoying because I have to use IE instead.

When I use IE I don't have this problem. It's only with Firefox.

Update your Flash Player which is way out of date, even your newer one won't work well with Firefox and many security updates have occurred since..
* http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
The current Flash is Shockwave Flash 10.3.181.26 You have both Shockwave Flash 7.0 r19 and 10.0 r45 -- you will probably have to uninstall the 7.0 version through the control panel, do that first. Use the Adobe page to update as you are less likely to get crapware install suggestions from that page.
Afterwards run a plug-in update type in about:plugins into location bar and hit enter at the top of the list is a link for for plugins test which you should check out 
http://www.mozilla.com/plugincheck/
When installing updates, watch out for crapware installs, the checking and the updates are supplied by the plugin makers -- not by Mozilla.

You are on Windows 7, which means you've got decent hardware and software, you should be on Firefox 4. www.mozilla.com to get the latest version.
Next week Firefox 5 comes out, your toolbar changes changes to Fx4 will still work in Fx5. Then ...
You can make Firefox 4.0.1 look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic
