Manual installation of Flash CS4 patch fails

Vista Home Premium SP1 (current on all updates)
CS4 Design Premium
Am attempting to install Windows flash_player_update2_flash10 using the Admin account. Followed these instructions:
1. Quilt Flash CS4 Professional (NOTE: actually closed all programs)
2. Right click flash_player_update2_flash10.zip
3. Select Extract All....
4. Extract the contents of the file to:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS4\
5. When asked to replace the existing Players folder, choose Yes
Shortly after giving administrative okay to the install and clicking "yes" to the "copy and replace these files" popup, I get a Windows popup with this message:
"Windows found that this file is potentially harmful. To help protect your computer, Windows has blocked access to the file. Name: FlashPlayer.exe" OK"
No options on the popup except "OK" which stops the installation. I realize this is a Windows issue, but it's also a CS4 installation issue. (I find it extremely ironic that Windows detects the installation of a security update as a security issue.) Any suggestions?

You're going to get a lot more attention in the Flash forum than you
will here.

I tried downloading Adoboe Photoshop CC and it says: Installation succeeded but a patch failed. How do I fix this?

Let me explain. I have an HP 2000 series laptop running Windows 7 Home premium with a 500gb hard drive. I currently have Adobe Photoshop CS4 on my computer but I uninstalled it first before downloading the trial of CC. I figured when my 30 day Photoshop CC trial was over I could go back and download CS4 with the CD again. I just wanted to try CC to see how different it was from CS4 and for some reason when I install it gets to 99% and when it finally reaches that 100% the error message comes up "Installation succeeded but patch failed." I have tried to hit the retry button a number of times and each time it still gives me the same error message. I tried restarting my laptop to see if this would fix the issue and it did not. What does this "patch failed" error mean and how do I fix this so I can download my adobe photshop CC trial?

Yeah for some odd reason out of no wear i am able to successfully download everything. Ill be honest i couldn't download everything properly while watching Netflix. ha Weird. But yea i just got Photoshop and flash to download fine! so thats awesome thank you for the tip i will be sure to add that next time i have a problem thank you!

Flash CS4 update failing.... why?

I have fully operational and registered versions of many of the CS4 programs, but lately any attempts to update them are failing, using either Adobe Updater, or by downloading the update itself. For example, today I wanted to update Flash CS4 10.0.0 to 10.02, and just after the download is completed and set-up begins, the operation immediately fails, and generates a lengthy errors report. My computer is well tuned, I have 4 GB of RAM, a quad processor etc. and all the originally installed CS4 applications are working as they should...I just can't update them. I have no problems with any of the other software on the computer. Even the update for Adobe Media Encoder fails in exactly the same way. Acrobat Reader is the only update that has been successful. My o/s is XP/SP3. Is this an Adobe problem? Anyone else having this problem? Any ideas as to why a simple update is failing or what I can do to 'fix' the problem and complete the Flash CS4 update? ......................frank

The problem has been solved. The culprit was Adobe Acrobat speed loader (Acrobat_sl) running at Start-up. When this was disabled via msconfig> Startup tab etc., all Adobe updates were run successfully. When it was NOT disabled, all updates would immediately fail after setup.exe was initiated.

Flash CS4 Trial Failed

After downloading and installing Flash Pro CS4 I got to use
it only a couple days for a couple hours each day. Now the trial
software won't open. I get a box telling me options of trial or
register. I click the trial option and the next box states "Problem
with the trial." The software wants me to buy and register even
though I have gotten no trial period other than a few hours. Is
this normal. Is there any solution to regain my trial period or is
the the typical Adobe tactic of their trial softwares?
Also, the Adobe site won't allow me to download any other
trial softwares such as Dreamweaver. I am new to Adobe site and
have never tried any of their software before.
There is no support for anyone other than paid customers so
if you know something, I'd appreciate any assistance.
Thank you.

What in the World? Is there anyway to get FLaSH CS4 trial
version to install? OK. I have Service Pack 3, it keeps telling me
to disable my Firewall, (which I have done over and over, after
re-booting...) I even tried to install after checking off
everything in the msconfig in the Run it won't do anything
different... Also, I still haven't seen hide nor hair of any
'FLEXnet' file or app ANYWHERE. Honestly, what is with this crazy
'install' routine Adobe? Help! I really want to be working with
this new prog!!! Please do away with this insane install thing
please... (ASAP) ...thanks.
UPDATE: Ok, now i've gotten to the next problem: the Install
stops at 8% (Dynamiclink Support) no matter what... I was able to
install the CS4 of Photoshop though. I'm going to try removing my
licensed copy of Flash MX2004 in case it is interfering with the
CS4 Flash install... Other options may be try installing the
Premiere so that it can get the Dynamiclink Support installed ...?
maybe CleanScript...? no way to find the simple solution on any
support pages or forums though? hmm...
SOLVED:
I managed to put off some bills and purchased the upgrade
from MX2004 and the install worked fine... go figure! (This also
allowed for the phone tech support assistance i apparently needed
too. I got a nice person after a 15 minute wait.) The purchased
upgrade download worked as far as the install went: good; but: I
went click on the FLaSH icon to open the program after a reboot and
it said "the Licensing is no durn good no more." So I said,hmmm...
Here's what was likely a problem: the FLEXnet folder (had to
do an Explorer search to locate these) had been duplicated from a
previous install attempt a few days earlier and the duplicate AS
WELL AS the 'non-duplicate' had a 'read only' status that need to
be un-checked and permissions had to be set on the FLEXnet folder
for Admin, etc. That was pretty much the culprit. Hope this may
help someone. This tech file was a help: kb405970

Rerunning installer after glibc2.1 patch fails

I followed the directions in ftp://ftp.oracle.com/pub/www/otn/linux/README to install the glibc2.1 patch for Oracle 8.05 on linux 6.2. Everything is great expect for step 4. It says to run the installer again and pick create/upgrade database objects. All this does is send me to the add/remove software screen, and my only choice is to exit. It never sets up the database. Any ideas? Do I need to build the database by hand?

Thanks Shane.
But those lines of interest are actually commented out in the ldif file

Installation succeeded, but a patch failed

Unable to extract the downloaded files. Press Retry to download again. (U44M1I210)
Already did - no changes. No idea what to do. It seems Adobe makes it really hard with the iCloud to make programs work. Shouldn't it be just straight forward?!
Please help!

CC patch fails after initial install

I have a new laptop (Win 8) and am installing CC apps. After downloading the apps, the app manager gives me the following error message:
Installation succeeded, but a patch failed.
This behavior has been consistent for Dreamweaver, Photoshop, and InDesign. When I try to update afterwards, it simply said "Patch failed."
Any idea what is going on and how to fix it?
Thanks.

Flash CS4 auf Win 8.1?

Guten Tag allerseits
Ich versuche Adobe CS4 Web Premium auf einem neuen Laptop Dell XPS 15 mit Win 8.1 zu installieren. Bei der Installation von Flash CS4 meldet er immer dass diese nicht erfolgreich war. Ich habe es schon im abgesicherten Modus und mit reduzierter Bildschirmauflösung versucht. Kein Erfolg.
Der Adobe Support kümmert sich leider keinen Deut um das Problem. Vielleicht kann mir hier jemand helfen?

You need to update it with Windows Update. You can also go to: Flash Player Issues | Windows 8
and at the bottom grab the KB, however I've had much better luck using Windows update than I have with the KB alone.

Adobe Flash CS4 installation error

Hello,
I just downloaded trial version of Adobe Flash CS4 (Englisth|Windows) but after unpacking the archive and starting setup.exe I am getting error msg (see att). Are there any error logs with more information??
Text is in czech language so here's translation:
-----------First window-----------
Adobe Flash CS4 - Installation Error
Installation Error
An error occured while installing. Ask for help at Adobe support.
-----------Second windows-----------
Installer of Adobe Flash CS4 application: inicialization
Checking system profile.
Is md5 hash available for integrity check of installation package?
System info:
Intel C2D 2,2Ghz
3GB RAM
about 160GB free HDD space
Windows Vista Ult. 64b
Thanks for any help!

There is no fix. Flash Pro is not compatible with Win 8 even in CS6. There are dependencies with Flash Player components and the way it's handled in Win 8 prevents it from working liek the app expects.

Flash CS4 trial installation

Hope i am in the right place for this query.
I am trying to download a trial version of Flash onto my laptop. Windows XP, service pack 3, 1.66 GHz, 2.00 GB Ram.
I downloaded the trial but wrongly asked it to open rather than save, so it saved onto my desktop, but would not then open, it was taking me round in circles between 'the download is complete', then 'install now' it then goes through the extraction procedure but brings me back to install now and wants to extract it again.It appeared to be extracting to the Adobe folder. (I have Photoshop etc)
When I tried to download it again it indicated it was already downloaded. So I removed all Flash CS4 files that I could find (on the basis that if it was not installed this should be safe enough) but it is still indicating that it is downloaded and I cannot go back to the 'do you want to open/save this file'.
I am sure I have made all sorts of mistakes with all this but if anyone can offer any ideas I would be grateful. Thanks.

if you really started the installation and it installed halfway through or similar, run the cleanup script which can be found here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406241.html and reinstall CS4 again, this time download it with a different browser if possible.

Flash CS4 installer file name?

I need to reinstall Flash CS4 because I somehow broke the CS4 version of Bridge last week. I *know* I've got the installer somewhere on my hard drive but have been unsuccessful in locating it.
Can someone give me a hint as to the installer name? I've done searches on "Adbe", "ADBEFLPEN", looked for .dmg files, and about a half dozen other tries. I don't need the full file name but a few characters to enable a good search would be a big help. I'm on a pc.
Thanks!

Hi
Ouch!! Backup is your friend...
Couldn't you just download a trial version and activate it again?
Technolux has a nice site with links to earlier versions..(All trials)

Flash CS4 10.0.2 update failed to install

The flash CS4 10.0.2 update fails to install no matter how many times I try or restart my machine. A flash media encoder update and a flash lite update also fail. Can someone please help me figure out how to fix this?
I've searched the forum, and I'm aware of this thread
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/432619?tstart=0
but it does not provide a solution that works for me. I posted there, but I wasn't sure it would be answered because the thread was listed as already answered.

If anyone else searches and finds this, I was able to fix my problem by running the clean script
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html
and then reinstalling flash cs4.
Also, adobe effectively does not have a technical support phone line. They have one in name only. You'll just be put on hold endlessly, disconnected randomly, and given the runaround constantly if you ever do manage to get through to a live person. Like everyone else, adobe has apparently outsourced their support to people who have no idea how to troubleshoot anything, and can barely parrot from a prewritten script. There is no light at the end of the phone tree - you can't get water from a stone, so don't waste your time like I did.

Installation Succeeded but Patch Failed. Download Error Support (49)

Installation Succeeded but Patch Failed. Download Error contact Support (49)

i have the exact error. I have CC for Photographer for quite some times now and it updates on and off normally until perhaps a couple of month ago. Lr updated ok. ACR updated ok. But Ps ended up with such error. I uninstall it and tried again, same error. There was one hit that mention about disabling McAfee anti-virus. Since my machine is managed by my company, I can only disable it by booting Windows (Win 7 enterprise) in Safe Mode. I did but the same error. Any other suggestion?
By the way, my other machine which I install exactly the same CC applications have no problems at all so I am quite sure it is my company machine that is causing the problem. I just need to figure out what is wrong.
