Trouble Installing Adobe Flash 10.2.159.1 to Mozilla Foxfire & windows Vista

I have tried, unsuccessfully, to download & install Adobe Flash 10.2.159.1 onto my computer. I have tried all the advice found on the troubleshooting page, including uninstalling & re-installing, both as Administrator & not. I now cannot play my favourite games on Facebook as a result. I tried the online chat service & got no joy there either. I keep gettig the same message, no matter what I try:
"A required file (C\Windows\system321\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32.dll.5)
could not be written due to insufficient permissions.
What do I do now? I would appreciate any assistance in the matter.

Do the following:
download the FP uninstaller from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html and save it to disk;
close all browser instances, then run the downloaded uninstaller;
restart Windows;
open Windows Explorer and navigate to C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
delete anything that still resides in that folder.
Once you have done that, you can reinstall Flash Player.
If you have any troubles deleting files from that Flash folder, please post again.
P.S. all the above must be done as an Administrator user.

Is anyone having trouble installing Adobe flash player on a MacBook Pro?

Is anyone having trouble installing Adobe flash player on a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.7.5?

Thanks for your help here is what I did so far!
I have uninstalled Adobe and reinstalled it, I've tried restarting my browser, then my MacBook Pro without any success!
When I click on the Apple in the upper left hand corner and open System Preferences I can see Adobe Flash Player on the bottom under the Other section.
If I open Adobe up and check the version it tells me that I have the most recent version!
I even uninstalled Adobe and installed the newest Beta version, but Adobe is still not working! If I check for the latest version it tells me that I do have the latest beta version, but it still doesn't work!
If the person who made the video used any other video player it works!
Their player, plays the video without a problem!

You'll continue to have trouble, because...
There is no more Flash Player for Android and there won't be another. Android is no longer compatible with Flash Player. Playing Flash content is very processor consumptive and it drains your battery, also shortening the life of it. Android (Google) recommends using either "Dolphin" or "Puffin" as your browser if you need to view Flash content with a mobile device running Android. They're both free in the GooglePlay store.
These browsers use "server side" rendering to reduce the load on your device.

Having trouble installing Adobe Flash player 17.0.0.134 on Mac OS 10.10.1. Currently have 16.0.0305 flash player installed

Having trouble installing Adobe Flash player 17.0.0.134 on Mac OS 10.10.1. Currently have 16.0.0305 flash player installed. I've tried quitting Safari. Have not uninstalled currently Adobe as yet. How to fix?

Sorry, when I try to install Flash Player 17.0.0.134, it will begin initialing, then stop saying "Installation Failed" and to press "Finish". It then directs me to troubleshooting. I made sure I quit Safari as per their instructions, but have not gone as far as "uninstalling" my current Flash Player 16.0.0.305, because it looks like I will screw something up in the process.
Hope that information helps.

How to get Adobe Flash 10 to work on IE8 on Windows Vista?

I've tried downloading the newest Adobe Flash Player 10 on IE8
on my Windows Vista and it's not working. It downloads but when I go back to hulu.com it says I still have to download the latest version. I've tried unistalling and installing it (several times)... I've made sure that Shockwave is enabled under Internet settings... I've also tried unistalling IE8 and reinstalling without the updates... and still nothing. I even tried installing Flash 10 on IE7, still nothing worked.
I have Windows Vista 32 bit and not terribly computer savvy. Hulu works fine when I use Firefox, but it's not working on IE8. I need it to work on IE8 in order to stream video from hulu on our Wii through PlayOn TV. Any help with this would be much appreciated. Thanks!

using ie, navigate to

I am having trouble downloading and installing Adobe flash player to my i mac,--any suggestions?

Two bugs, one affecting Apple's Mac platform and another attacking Microsoft's Windows, exploit certain Flash player vulnerabilities to install malware onto users' systems, reports ArsTechnica. While users of other operating systems like Linux have yet to report attacks, Adobe's advisory notes the exploit affects all platforms.
Designated as CVE-2013-0634, the first vulnerability targets the Safari and Firefox Web browsers running on OS X, and is also being used as a trojan to deploy Microsoft Word documents containing malware. For Mac users, the flaw affects Adobe Flash Player version 11.5.502.146 or earlier.
On March 1 Apple again blocked Flash Player for Lion and Mountain Lion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5660
The Adobe Flash patch can be found on Adobe’s website, and users can visit this page to check if their software is the most curent version.
You should uninstall any previous version first, and repair permissions after installing the new version.

Trouble installing Adobe Flash Player 11.9.900.170 on Mac OS X 10.9

Hello dear experts,
since the last update of Adobe Flash Player I cannot install the application anymore.
The installation cancels with a general error message.

If I try to start the installation using the Adobe Flash Player.pkg in the „Resources“ folder I cannot chose my hard drive to install flash.
The following log messages can relate to this:

I think this exception is thrown if I click on my hard drive’s symbol in the installer.
I have the same problem when I try to install Microsoft’s last Office update. Maybe there is a connection?
I tried several older versions of the Adobe Flash Player installer, but they didn't work as well.
Perhaps we have some kind of "Mavericks" problem here?
Any help would be highly appreciated!
Thank you very much in advance.
Kind regards
Oliver

Finally found the issue here:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3889562?tstart=0
Somehow a empty file /System/Library/CoreServices/ServerVersion.plist has been created.
If I understand this right this file is only needed if you use Mac OS X Server.
As suggested in the support forum I deleted the file (renamed it to _ServerVersion.plist) and after that every installation, including Adobe Flash Player and Office 2011 update worked!
Thank you very much,
Kind regards,
Oliver

Trouble installing adobe flash player.

I have tried several times to install Adobe Flash Player. I get a message that it was successful, but then when I open something where it's required to view, I receive ANOTHER message to install. I looked online and took the steps given, one of which is to hit a button to see if it's installed, and I receive a notice Not installed. I have repeated this at least a dozen times.

When I tried to install Adobe Flash Player several times without success I finally contactedAdobe Support.they directed me to +support log me in rescue.They viewed my screen andtold me that two hackers had hacked my computer and they were located in Cupertino,Ca. The tech said it would be 45 minuts to fix it and would cost $50.

Having trouble installing Adobe Flash while running Yosemite...

I installed Yosemite over a week ago and ever since I've been unable to get Flash to work properly. I realized an update needed to be installed (even though I have the automatic updates checked for Adobe Flash), but I'm having a hard time getting the update to complete. It prompts me to close all browsers after the installer downloads. Then after doing so, I click on the installer and everything starts off fine. However, after about 75% of the install being complete, it shows: 'Error: Unable to proceed with the installation.' At that point the only option I'm given is to click 'Finish.' After clicking 'Finish,' Safari opens up to Adobe's website and gives me the option to either troubleshoot the installation or try it again. I've done both, yet neither are working.
I first tried to just re-install it, but saw that I already had it installed, so that's when I tried updating it to the latest version. Since neither worked, I uninstalled Adobe flash and tried a clean install, but the same error appeared at about the same time during installation.
Before I uninstalled Adobe Flash, I checked the version and it matched the latest, however, every page that uses flash says I need to install the update and prompts me to do so before continuing. Any advice will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Trouble installing Adobe Flash 11

I have been at this four four days now. I have Windows XP, 32 bit. I have IE 8, 32 bit. I want to install Flash 11, (32 bit I assume). I have Norton 360. I have read every past post and still nothing. I have tried your Windows procedure many times. I have shut down my Norton many times ,even before I down load Flash. Here is what I get, 1; cannot connect to reliable source, . 2, I get a script error. The two errors are as follows.
1st scrpit error is; line 115, (this line changes each time), Char; 13, Error; expected " } " , code; 0 , url; http//127.0.0.1;1442/app/_is/adobe.js
2nd script error; line; 40 (this stays the same), Char; 9, (stays the same), error; ' global active actionlists' is undefined., url; http//127.0.0.1;1442/app/_is/action actionlist.js
What do you suggest next? In one post a person said there was an unchecked box in his AVG. I know AV is anti Virus, but what is G?

AVG is the name of an antivirus company. However, you have Norton.
It sounds like one of the shields in Norton is blocking the Flash download. Can you follow instructions on this site to disable those first of all please: http://answers.vt.edu/kb/entry/1283
Once you've done that, please proceed as follows:
Download the Flash uninstaller from here: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player_32bit.exe When you see the prompt, choose Save and save the file somewhere you can find it again easily. Do not choose Run.
After the file downloads, close IE8.
Run the uninstaller and then reboot.
When the system reboots to the desktop, disable Norton again as above.
Next, go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ When you see the prompt this time, choose "Run" to install it immediately. It should take you to a page which runs the animation to show that it's been installed properly. If it doesn't, click this link to check it manually: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
You might want to consider installing Adobe Shockwave For Director as well. This is an enhanced version of the player and you'll need it if you play any online games where some interaction with the animation is required. You can download it from here, but disable Norton again first: http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/
