Script Error when updating Flash Player

I have exhausted the online documentation. This started several months ago. The way that Flash Player updated on my machine changed. I am running XP using IE8. Everytime I try to update Flash Player I get a script error right about the time that the download completes and it is starting to install. The actual script error varies from one attempt to another. The latest error is 'ActionLaunchAdobe' is undefined. Scripting is enabled per the help documents. I have never had to uninstall a previous version before and I'm hesitant to do it now because my current version is 11.4.402.287 and it works. My concern is that if I can't update to new versions eventually there may be problems. I have not made configuration changes to this computer or installed new software for quite a while. The Flash Player update mechanism used to never open a browser window but since I have had this problem that's the first thing it does and takes me to the Flash Player update site. Then the never ending fun begins always ending with a script error and failed install. PLEASE HELP!

If you have "Allow Adobe to install updates (recommended)" selected in your Flash Player control panel (in the Advanced tab), you should be getting our silent auto updates. The problem appears to be occurring for you when a major update occurs. You have a couple of options here. First, you can visit the link below whenever this occurs and download the offline installer files that should work properly. The second option is to ignore these update notifications and after 30 days we'll install it automatically (and silently.)

When I click on link displaying in my application via TextFlow i got this error message:
Error #2148. SWF file <http://my_www_server/path_to_my_swf> cannot access local resorce \\SERVER-NAME\Folder\File.ext.

No one has a similar problem?

NPSWF32.dll error when installing flash player

I've been trying to install flash player but I keep getting the same error when I try:
Error opening file for writing C:\windows\system32\macromed\flash\NPSWF32.dll
When I ignore that one I get another error
Error opening file for writing C:\windows\system32\macromed\flash\NPSWF32_FlashUtil.exe
and then when I ignore this it 'finishes downloading', but it's basically useless and does not work. I went to the location above to see if I could find the file- NPSWF32.dll, but it's not there. There is a macromed and Flash folder but it is empty inside. I downloaded the NPSWF32.dll and tried to put it in the flash folder but the system wouldn't let me. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but I keep getting the same error. it is driving me insane, please help me if you are familiar with this problem. i googled this and saw that a lot of people had this problem as well but i've yet to find a working solution. I'm on windows vista and im using 3.6 firefox.

Hi , The files you are speaking of are removed with the Adobe Uninstaller and then the Installer will install the needed
files into the Flash folder.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html Download this Uninstaller and put it on your Desktop
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe This is the FF Installer, SAVE it to your Desktop
Since I don't know what add ons, extensions or plugins you have, Just disable them all for now.
Follow the instructions for the Uninstaller, close all browsers, check the system tray. No programs that use Flash should
be running.
Disconnect from the Internet
Disable any and all Anti-Virus/Spyware programs that run in realtime.
Disable any Firewall that you use, except Windows Firewall
Run the Uninstaller from your Desktop, then Reboot. Wait until fully Rebooted, then Reboot again
Run the Installer from your Desktop, then Reboot
Enable your Firewall and your Anti-Virus/Spyware programs
Connect back to the Internet
Go to this Adobe test site to confirm you have the FP vs 10.0.42.34 installed http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about
Go to your plugins and make sure you have SWF(Shockwave Flash) vs 10.0.42.34 there and it is Enabled
Enable Java-the latest is JRE 6 update 18.
Then check your Flash folder and post back with the files that are now installed.
Now if you have old versions of Java installed(check the Add/Remove) you would need to Remove them via Add/Remove
and install the latest Java. NOTE: You can do this prior to the Uninstall/Install process. Post back and I'll give you the Java install procedure.
Thanks

Error to update Flash Player but it is already up to date

I am unable all of a sudden to play Facebook games or even get in to Tech support chat because I am getting an error to update my Flash Player. When I go to update it I get the message that it is already current. When following the solutions it shows Shockwave is already enabled. My pc is 2 months old. Run Windows 8.

On Windows 8 you need to run Windows Update to update your Flash Player version.
Check your version at http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-issues-windows-8.html

Firefox beta 34.0 / dev 35.0a2 (2014-11-14) script error beacuse of flash player

This is my error box it happens on youtube (and more pages but not all pages I visit) and froze my both firefox beta and dev
A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, open the script in the debugger, or let the script continue.
Script: http://s.ytimg.com/yts/jsbin/www-en_US-vfl1NXkML/base.js:4
I tried to uninstall flash (when I delete flash completely problem will gone) and reinstall flash 15.0.0.223v from here http://get.adobe.com/tr/flashplayer/ and pressing youtube it frozen 5 min later its give error cycle and froze again.
But this problem start today I searched this problem in internet I saw this www.hotforsecurity.com/blog/adobe-fixes-18-critical-flaws-in-flash-player-10798.html?utm_source=SMGlobal&utm_medium=SMGlobal&utm_campaign=H4S
hmm now I have no idea what can I do for fix this can anybody help?

That script looks like its trying to load the player interface. However in order to troubleshoot the script by removing the script from the cache and reloading the page. This can be done by forgetting any cookies on the page. However note that this will remove all data associated with the site, including cookies, logins and certs.
# Go to about:permissions
# Search for the webpage that you experience this error
# Click, forget the site
# Restart Firefox.
There are also add ons that can block certain scripts on a page. NoScript or BlockFlash from addons.mozilla.orf to name a few.

IE8 script error while installing Flash Player

[WinXP (2002) SP3]
Installation of Flash Player 11 (tried this 10 or more times) is interrupted by an IE8 script error message "Object doesn't support this property or method" (Line: 207 Char: 1 Code: 0 URL: http://www.adobetag.com/d1/adobe/live/getadobecom.js), followed by the question “Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?” No matter if I answer Yes or No, installation proceeds and seems to finish normally, showing a new window saying “You are now using Flash Player 11”
But any link on any website that needs to use Flash Player refuses to run, asking again and again for a Flash Player download!
I checked my IE settings, they are all as they should be, allowing script running, etc.
What can I do?!

Hello,
Use Adobe Flash Player uninstaller : http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
Once Flash Player is uninstalled then use the offline installer for Adobe Flash Player.
Thanks,

Unresolved Script errors and Adobe Flash Player crashing daily on my Macbook Pro

On nearly a daily basis, just opening a couple tabs of ESPN is suddenly causing my Flash Player to crash and causing unresolved script errors.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

When updating Flash Player

I get regular updates for Flash Player. After updating usually within minutes, a hijack attempt is made to reroute my browser through Beyond the Network America. I am sure these attempts occur only after updating Flash. Here is my hypothesis:
I routinely run Peerblock to block hacking attempts on my computer.
I block countries domains such as China, Iran, Russia etc.
When running Peerblock I can see if software is attempting to redirect my Internet activity through Beyond the Network America or anywhere else.
When my system is infected, I run ADWCleaner to remove the infection. ADWCleaner finds the following: \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\z2x8sary.default\prefs.js
ADWCleaner requires me to reboot my system to complete the removal and my system operates normally without any redirection attempts until I update Flash. In fact, Flash usually indicates an update is available soon after I remove the infection.
I suspected Flash and would not update it for about 1.5 months. No re-infection occurred. Then yesterday, I decided it was time to determine if Flash was the culprit so I updated it and sure enough; once I did, a hijack attempt to reroute my traffic through Beyond the Network America occurred again.
The update file downloaded from Adobe's website is: install_flashplayer13x32_mssd_aaa_aih
Can you confirm my hypothesis or otherwise show Adobe is not including some adware/malware that is attempting to reroute Internet traffic through Beyond the Network America?
Thank you for your assistance.

Use the offline installer(s):
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
They don't have to download anything during the install process.
If your system is still being hacked after running one or both of those, you've got other problems.

When updating Flash Player, how do I stop McAfee from installing?

Flash Player updates automatically reinstall McAfee and as this conflicts with my own security system I don't want it to automatically install but don't know how to stop it. Can someone help?

There's a checkbox BEFORE you download Flash Player, that prevents the download and install of McAfee. Uncheck it and it won't download.

Keep getting "General Install Error" when installing Flash Player 13 on Mac OSX 10.9.3

For about 2 weeks now I've been getting software update notifications for Adobe Flash, Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat X. Every time I run the update install I get an error that will not allow it finish. For Flash specifically that error says "General Install Error". I've uninstalled all of these programs to try to correct this error, now they are unable to be reinstalled due to this error. Please help!

Hi Sanhodo4,
To confirm, did you actually terminate the Safari process, or simply close the Safari windows? If you closed just the browser window, the Safari process was not terminated. Please refer to How do I quit Safari (or another browser/app) in OS X.

Trying to find the URL used when installing Flash player via ActiveX pop-up

I'm trying to determine what URL would be used when a customer clicks on the Activex Pop-up to install Flash player.
I've found a document that indicates the URL used when updating Flash Player via the Auto updater, but I think they are different URLs.... Can anyone help?

thanks guys for the replies.
Just to clarify, I am in no way having troubles installing Flash player. I'm a tech specialist, and have been for many years. I am fully able and aware of how to update Flash player.
What I am trying to get is the URL that would be used when a client click on the "Install Adobe Flash Player" ActiveX Pop-up.
thanks for the URLs you sent, and I do have those, I'm just wondering if any can confirm "as for sure as possible" what URL is used with that ActiveX Pop up.
Our corporate has several web-based products that do NOT work with th emost recent version of Flash Player.
We are trying to find all possible Flash Player installer URLS that are used, so we can block them on our Proxy server.
Thanks again for everyone's reply, and if anyone knows for sure the info I need, please let me know

Be careful updating Flash Player !

Hi
Just a warning - watch carefully what you do when updating Flash Player.
My 9 month old hit the space button on what I can only assume was a dialogue box asking whether I wanted to install some unwanted McAfee Security scan plus garbage,
It of course is selected as the default - thats what everyonewould want isnt it ? - random garbage software on their computer.
I have since successfully uninstalled it I hope.
So my love for adobe grows as you can tell from this rant.
First they insist that I register Lightroom only to then get hacked, expose my personal infromation to god knows who and have my email address consequently inundated with all sorts of unsavoury SPAM.
Now they sneak garbage like this in when Im not looking for what should be a simple update.
Adobe are approaching the hights of EA these days. I will never buy adobe again !
Thanks for listening.

Nobody is happy with the 3rd-party software Adobe bundles with its software updates.
However, it is very easy to get around that. I have installed, updated, and used Flash Player since version 6, and I have never gotten any unwanted software onto my computer. How to:
install the updates manually when they become available
use the offline installers that are not bundled with any 3rd-party software
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Flash Player for Mac OS X
do not let childred or pets install updates; disable automatic updates if necessary
