Problems trying to install the latest flash player on Windows XP

I have been trying for a while now to install flash player
the latest version but keep getting the same error message 19166,
does anyone have a solution to this please as it has now become so
frustrating!!!
I would appreciate any help please
Thanks

Don't know, but every time I try to download the 'correct'
version of the Flash Player (9) as instructed by the BBC website to
watch its videos, it tells me that it is already installed and do I
want to replace it.... I click yes and it downloads OK. BUT still
won't work and it still says I don't have the correct version of
Flash Player.
Been like this for a while now - no idea what to do about it
and am not a techie.

  • I cannot install the latest Flash Player 13 becuase it asks me to first quit DashboardClient.

    I am trying to install the latest Flash Player 13 for my imac.  It starts to then stops and asks me to Quit DashboardClient which I have never heard of .
    There is no such animal and I have nothing opened to quit, except for the Flash Player installer.
    I am running a intel core 2 duo Imac with OSX 10.9.2

    I have since found out that the offending item is widgets running in the Dashboard application.
    What you do is go into Activity Monitor - select Dasboard- then select force quit, close all other applications.
    Restart the installation process which should now complete then restart computer and it should be done.
    I have never had to do this ever with any update , but it does work , I think (hopefully).

  • Keep getting the error I need to install the latest flash player, although I did

    Hi all.
    I have a very rare issue with flash player.
    First some information:
    I'm using Windows Vista 64-bit, and the latest Mozilla Firefox.
    When I want to wath a movie on Facebook, ik keep getting the message 'Upgrade needed for Flash player. To view this, you need to download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player'
    I already did this like a thousand times..
    I also first used the uninstaller, than installed it again, but I keep getting the message. I have the same problem with IE also.
    Hope you can help me.
    Grts

    Hello.
    Thanks for the e-mail.
    But when I look in IE, i can't see it in the list, it isn't there.
    When I look in FF, The only one I see is called 'Shockwave Flash 10.0.2.54'
    Thank you,
    Jarno.

    Thanks. Using IE go to Tools>Manage add ons and find Shockwave Flash Object..ActiveX Control..Flash10e.ocx and make sure it is enabled.
    Do the same thing using FF and look in plug-ins for SWF vs 10.0.45.2 and make sure it is enabled.
    I would also check a few other sites as it could be this is isolated to Facebook.

    Hey, I'm trying to install Flash Player 8, but whenever I go
    to the Install Icon on my desktop, it comes up with the message
    "Setup could not find your browser's plugins directory". What is
    this directory and where do I find it or where can I get it. I
    really need this plugin installed because every website I go to
    always says it can't display it's graphics with the newest flash
    player. Thank you for any help.

    Hi,
    I have been having some problems downloading this for over a year now even when I reinstall or reboot my pc or whatever, even change the security settings so I need your help. I found the support center which said:
    http://http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#Download but then I dont even know how to locate the flash folder, where is that? How do I find it?
    then do I have to highlight 10a before right clicking it? otherwise where do I right click exactly? when you say to run the flash player installer, do you mean to just click it? Cause I did and it came on but then even after downloading or installing the uninstaller and running it then installing again, it wont work even when I do that and then reboot my pc...Is there any possibility that it cant work on my pc? How would I know?
    See...Im no tech expert so I really need your help. Please reply asap. Thanks a lotttt!!!

    Hi, well I'm sorry you are having such a hard time. We'll see what the problem may be. First to answer your question,
    the OS means operating system. Which if you are using Windows, then your OS is Vista. It could be XP or the newest one
    which is Windows7, Win7 for short. Now if someone is using a Mac, then that would be their OS.
    Now your computer and all computers can install and run Flash Player. However there are a few things that can cause a problem, so I'll list a few.
    The first thing and most important is that you must be the Administrator of your computer. If this is your computer and you set up the accounts, the first account set up would be the Administrator account. You can look at that as the "Boss"
    Now some people will set up accounts for other people but they are not Administrator accounts, they are called User or Limited accounts. They cannot be "Boss":-) There are some other things, but I'm stating it this way, so you can better understand.
    When you Install programs, like Flash Player, you have to use the Administrator account to do so.
    Don't think you are the only one having problems. We'll find out what it is and fix it.
    Since using the Administrator account is the most important, I want you to go down to where the clock it. With your mouse, right click over the time that is showing. Then when the small window opens, left click on Adjust Date/Time.
    Then post back and tell me what you saw.
    Thanks,

    I did find out I downloaded babylon toolbar which was adware, it also added the adware ezula. Anyway I got rid of all the bad ad-ons  and still cant get the flash player.
    First i couldnt dowload at all but I got around that. Then it downloaded but wouldnt confirm the download but I got around that. Now it said I had no administrator permission and I followed the proper way to do that which was running it as administrator.
    I've followed every troubleshooting and  here I am still unable to see videos or pictures.  I'm no computer genuis but I've done everything I could do. Can somebody please help me before I lose my mind!

    Try a clean install as described in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/928315
    If that does not resolve your problem, can you tell us your display adapter, driver version & date.  See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765

  • Unable to install the latest flash player for Firefox on a 64 bit Windows Vista OS

    Each time I attempt to install the following error pops up:
    Note:Flash Player does not support 64-bit versions of Windows XP and Vista.
    Before today I've never had issues with installing flash updates. Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    Vista x64 is unsupported and untested, however the installer shouldn't block you as far as I know.  Can you tell me what the file name is that you are trying to install?
    Unless you're using a 64 bit browser, you should be able to install the 32 bit version of Flash Player which you can find here.
