Problems installing flash player on windows 7 32bit

I am trying to install the new flash player on my Windows 7 32-bit with Internet Explorer 9 and every time it gets to 50% it says that it cant continue because IE is open but I have closed it, rebooted, tried again and still comes up with the same results. Some one please help. Thanks in advance!

Suggest you do the following.
Download the uninstaller from here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/909550
Choose to Save and save it somewhere you can find it easily again. Do not choose Run.
Disable any AV shields like file scanners which kick into action as soon as you uninstall/install anything. If you're not sure how to do that, consult this list for instructions: Disable Antivirus
Run the uninstaller to remove Flash from your system. Be aware that it also uninstalls it from any other browsers you might be using such as Firefox, Opera etc., but not from Google Chrome.
Reboot, disable AV shields again and then go to the same site once more to download the installer: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/909550
When you see the prompt this time, choose Run to install immediately.
If you use Firefox, Opera or any other browser where Flash is a plugin, download the installer for those. Flash in Google Chrome is embedded and will auto-update, so no need to worry about that one.
N.B. If you use Windows Live Messenger or any app which uses Flash, disable it before you run both the uninstaller and the installer.

Cannot install Flash Player in Windows 8.1

Tried to install Flash Player in Windows 8.1 (32 bit). Used all the instructions; i.e, disable saftey, enable scripting, etc. An install box says Update KB2934802 is already installed. Searched computer for KB.....02 and Flash Player. Says none exist. Any suggestions?

Ever since Windows 8, Flash Player for Internet Explorer is written by Adobe ONLY. It's embedded by Microsoft, and you cannot:
- Update it
- Download it
- Install it
- Reinstall it
from here. You MUST update Flash Player ActiveX (for Internet Explorer) through Windows update. But... Using Windows 8.1 means you were forced to update to IE11, which has it's own problems and they can be summed up in three words...
"User-Agent Strings"
That doesn't mean a lot, I'm sure, but it's the root of your problems, and Flash Player has nothing to do with it.
Microsoft "rewrote" the User-Agent Strings for the abomination they call their latest and greatest browser. User-Agent Strings are what websites use to identify the browser you're using and provide the proper content for it's browser engine, like ActiveX stuff, and Flash or HTML5 video. Thanks to the geniuses in Redmond, WA, the User-Agent Strings for IE11 (which has a Trident engine), ID it as either "Gecko" (Firefox) or "Webkit" (Chrome). Problem is: when the site the directs to the content for one of these two engines, the Trident engine in IE can't intepret it and the site then sees IE as an "unidentified" browser.
The problem with an unidentified browser is that the plug-ins in that browser aren't recognized either, so even though you're up to date, it says you need the latest Flash Player when you use IE11. YouTube... has converted to HTML5 video so if it doesn't detect Flash Player, it can display HTML5 (MP4) video which requires no plug-in to play. Facebook can't do that, because HTML5 doesn't apply to games... only video.
Microsoft has no plans to "fix" the mess thay've created because they think it's a great idea to block you out of the websites you visit.
They recommend using "Compatibility View" and pretending that you're using an older verison of IE... Problem with that is that it's seen limited success, and you have to enable it for EVERY page that has problems... individually.
The REAL solution, like the original problem can also be summed up in three words:
"Use another browser"
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

Problems installing flash player. Learner

I am experienceing problems installing flash player. I go to the adobe website and install the program and I am told it has been successfully installed. No flash player icon apppears on my desktop. When I press the windows start icon and click on "all programs" there is no evidence of the flash player. However when I click on" my computer" icon and go into uninstall/change the flash player program is there.I have spent quite some time installing, uninstalling and installing again without success
I am using windows Vista. I am also using Kaspsersky Internet security. It is a private computetr so I do not think I need administrators permission. I have tried installing flash player using both interner explorer and Mozilla firefox.Please can anyone help. Many thanks.

Shane, since you must be having problems getting a thread started, I'll just go ahead and try to help you here.
Use IE and go to Help and click on About Internet Explorer. It should tell you sp1 or sp2.
Also using IE, go to Tools, click on Manage add ons and look in all add ons for Shockwave Flash Object. Let me know if it is Enabled and if it is version 10.0.45.2 or says Flash10e.ocx.
Then switch over to FF (Firefox) and find the plug-in SWF version 10.0.45.2 and make sure it is listed and Enabled.
Post this info back to me.
Thanks,

How can i install flash player for window 8.1(64 bit) on my laptop

how can i install flash player for window 8.1(64 bit) on my laptop?

For Internet Explorer, you don't. Microsoft has already done it.
For Firefox, Opera or Safari, use the Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
For Chrome, you don't need to wither because Google puts it in the browser.

I had installed flash player on Window 8.1 for 32 bit and now I have to change it to 64 bit.

I had installed flash player on Window 8.1 for 32 bit and now I have to change it to 64 bit.

I don't understand what you are saying: you change Windows to 64-bit?
Just reinstall Flash Player, and it will automatically install both 32-bit and 64-bit players on a 64-bit system.

Installing Flash Player on Windows 2000

Thanks to numerous past discussions, methods have been found for installing Flash Player 11.2.202.235 on Windows 2000. See this thread, which explains how to use HxD Hex Editor to make a simple change that will allow installation on Windows 2000:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4428785
The original post goes into fine detail with illustrations. Here's a quick redux:
- Download the latest Adobe Flash Player (IE or non-IE) for Windows 32-bit systems.
- Download HxD Hex Editor hereabouts (VirusTotal rates it clean):
http://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/
- Unzip and install HxD.
- Launch HxD and open the Adobe Flash Player Installer, something like:
install_flash_player_32bit.exe
- Hit F3 for HxD's search function, and search for SetDllDirectoryW
- On the right-hand side of the HxD display, change SetDllDirectoryW to GetModuleHandleW
- SaveAs install_flash_player_32bit_Win2k.exe or similar.
- Quit HxD and run the modified Flash Player Installer. It should install fine on Win2k.
This worked for me using Flash Player Installer 11.2.202.235, both IE and non-IE versions.
This is a hack and is not officially supported by Adobe.

I installing the Adobe Flash plugin ONLY by my own hand. Sadly, Adobe did not come up with zip archive with just the plugin dll file, but I install - copy the DLL - and uninstall. Then manually delete the remaining files and just use the DLL or the installer.
To make the installe work at Win2k, the very same hack is need - hack the Flash Util file the same way, as the dll - change in it the SetDllDirectoryW to GetModuleHandleW and that it is!
If someone want, there is Flash Util and Adobe Flash as DLL files, hacked with W2k:
http://rapidshare.com/files/3122942562/Flash%20Players%20for%20W2k.zip
http://depositfiles.org/files/max4wif3c
http://www.sendspace.com/file/z2t9j2
Archive contain Adobe Flash unpacked (ready to copy into Firefox) with their utility files hacked for W2k in these versions: Flash Player 9.0.124.0, Flash Player 10.0.32.18, Flash Player 10.1.85.3, Flash Player 10.1.102.64, Flash Player 10.2.159.1, Flash Player 10.3.183.29, Flash Player 11.2.202.235, Flash Player 11.3.300.273, Flash Player 11.4.402.287
Interesting thing. Fullscreen video won't work on YouTube (only white screen, sound go ok) with Firefox v3.0.14 and Adobe Flash higher version that 10.0.32.18... Strange, strange
(could be that the Firefox is kinda old, but it is weird that v10.0.32.18 works flawlessly and just v10.1.85.3 not at all in fullscreen... I also use relatively old Forceware drivers v45.28 on crap GF2MX400 card :-) )

Problem installing Flash Player ActiveX

hi,
i try to install the IE version of the Flash Player, but it says me, that I'm trying to install an older version and I should go download the new setup file but that I just downloaded from here. The problem is, Flash Player is not even installed and ever Flash website tells me to install the flash player.
Is there a way to force the setup to ignore this warning?

Hi w, well that does happen when trying to install an older version. Glad you found the solution.
Thanks,

Installing Flash Player on Windows 7 Professional 32-bit IE closed but still requests closing

Windows 7 Professional is using Internet Explorer 11.0.9600 with update 11.0.15. Installing Flash Player 16.0.0.305. Starts installing and stops at 72%, advising that Internet Explorer needs to be closed and then try again. In Task Manager IE is not open. Tried going to the Active X download and ended up at the same error. We installed Windows 365, if that impacts the installation, though it has not stopped any other installations done after installing 365. Any help you can provide would be appreciated.

First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.
