Repeated prompts to install with "Installation Failed" error - ANNOYING

I've been experiencing the same issue for the better part of July and August.  I have tried several recommended strategies in the hopes of getting Adobe Flash Player (AFP) to install and perform correctly; however, none of my attempts have led to AFP indeed BEING installed.  Every single occasion I install, I receive the error "installation failed."  Needless to say, this is time-consuming and annoying.  And more annoying is the fact that I have no idea whatsoever as to what caused this event.
I am running Windows Vista with a 32-bit encryption on Internet Explorer Version 8.  I've searched through the FAQ section as well as through several Forum threads without luck.  I am, however, curiously able to utilize AFP through Mozilla Firefox, but as this is not my preferred mode of Internet surfing, this becomes cumbersome.
This issue is slowly driving me insane.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!!
Thank you!

I have in there the following:
Flash10h.ocx (installed 8/8/2010)
FlashInstall.log (installed 8/8/2010)
flashplayer.xpt (installed 7/23/2010)
FlashUtil10h_ActiveX.dll (installed 8/8/2010)
FlashUtil10h_ActiveX.exe (installed 8/8/2010)
FlashUtil10h_Plugin.exe (installed 7/23/2010)
NPSWF32.dll (installed 7/23/2010)
YOWZAS!  I hope this solves my problem . . . . .  <crossing fingers!>
Thank you!

  • I am trying to download & install Photoshop 6 but  setup fails with "Installer failed to initialize

    I am trying to download & install Photoshop 6 but  setup fails with "Installer failed to initialize Download Adobe Support Advisor" I then downloaded and ran the Support Advisor; it reported NO problems.
    I can still can not load Photoshop 6!

    Lw_jr01 to clarify when you are trying to install Photoshop CS6 you are receving the error message that the, "Installer Failed to Initialize."  Is that correct?  If so which operating system are you using?

  • Adobe reader 11 installation fails. error message: there was an error installing adobe reader. adobe

    Adobe reader 11 installation fails. error message: there was an error installing adobe reader. adobe reader installation error. null. tried using adobe cleaning  tool. using XP sp3. seems that adobe 11 is not completely uninstalling. this is because when adobe reader  11 is removed  from add/remove program. when pc is rebooted, adobe reader 11 entry comes back but it is  like false entry as no size given. please help to succesfully install Adobe Reader 11.  also tried:
    1. uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled  2. installed from different locations  3. removed adobe key from
    local machine and tried to install

    Seriously, I do not understand what is going on - I have never seen this before!
    The MSI installers are usually used in corporate environments to roll out installs on multiple machines.  However, you can use it like a normal (EXE) installer; it will just go through fewer steps than the EXE.  Not sure if it will improve the situation, but it's worth a try.
    Another thing to try is to uninstall these remaining entries using Microsoft Fixit: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall - also no guarantee, but also worth trying.

  • Camera Raw 6.7 Update for Mac OS 10.10:  Installation Failed error message.

    Camera Raw 6.7 Update for Mac:  Installation Failed error message.  Update downloaded directly from Adobe website.  Newly purchased Mac Workbook Pro, OS 10.10, using Photoshop CS5. Other updates successfully accomplished.  Camera Raw 6.7 Update was downloaded multiple times with multiple installation attempts. Any recommendations?

    thanks for the prompt response...i appreciate it.  according to the link you listed, that's correct.  the strange thing is that prior to the upgrad to mac os 10.8.4, photoshop CS5 was working just fine and i was able to open my canon raw files with my current camera raw plug-in version 6.7 which adobe has indicated is the last camera raw update they'll be offering for cs 5
    so it's clearly an issue related to the "upgrade" of the os.  seems like every solution creates 6 new problems...further evidence for the notion that if it ain't broke don't fix it!  thanks again.

  • 11.0.4 Updater installation failed - error U44M1P7

    For the benefit of others, I wanted to post the steps that fixed this issue for gbrozk1:
    Open Extension Manager CS5.
    Select Dreamweaver on the left, and then remove the HTML5Pack (11.0.3 Updater) extension.
    Repair the installation of Dreamweaver using your original installation media.
    To do this, insert your original installation DVD, or double-click the downloaded DMG file, and then double-click Set-Up.app to begin the installation.
    When given choices of which products to Install/Re-install, uncheck everything except Dreamweaver. (That is, we need to be sure Dreamweaver is selected to be re-installed. Re-installing repairs the installation.)
    Follow the remaining on-screen instructions to complete the re-install/repair of Dreamweaver.
    Restart your computer.
    Install the 11.0.4 update.
    Hope that helps someone!
