Trying to install Flash player

I just purchased a new laptop a few days ago. It is running windows 8 (which I hate and am having a hard time getting use to)
I went on youtube and it shows that I must install missing plug in. When I go to download the newest version of flash (Adobe Flash Player 11.8.800.168) I get the Instillation encountered errors and that it was not installed.
Can ANYONE tell me how to get passed this and get some form of flash installed and working properly on my new system.
What ever info is needed to help me in doing so please let me know as I am not sure what info you may need.

See if this support article helps you.

What Pat said:
Open Safari
From the upper-left of the screen, choose Safari > Quit Safari
You can now proceed with the installation.

Trying to install flash player on Mac OS 10.6 .

Trying to install flash player on Mac OS 10.6 w/Safari. Ran uninstaller. In troubleshooting guide, no version comes up in the box, and no error message. I have unblocked cookies and pop-ups. No firewall. Still, the download bar runs to completion, and then nothing. Help?
UPdate: called my local Apple Geek, and he said go to finder, click on adobe download, and go from there. Got the install icon, and its installed. 2 minutes versus the 2 hours I spent on the Adobe troubleshooting page. Don't know whether to laugh or cry. Or have a beer. Anyway, thanks for reading and good luck.

I have tried about twenty times to install the Adobe Flash Player on my Mac. I had Adobe malware previously when responding to a fake popup Adobe update request.
In orfer to install now I am asked to disable my anti virus. If I do it would be permanent. I get the Adobe download and installer and even see I have an installed version in a box on the Adobe page but cannot access pdf's that require the player.

When trying to install Flash Player 10 via the msi I receive the following message: The cabinet file 'Data1.cab' required for this installation is currupt and cannot be used.
There are no previous versions of Flash Player installed.

Hi, I see you are using XP, didn't see the browser or browsers though.
Also did you Uninstall first?
Thanks,

You already have most current version of Adobe (Shockwave Flash): version 10.0.45.2
The instructions on the Adobe site are out-of-date and incorrect.
You can download the Adobe Download Manager if you wish, but it has caused some problems, and I would advise against it. See the following for information on Adobe DLM:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+do+I+edit+options+to+add+Adobe+to+the+list+of+allowed+sites
'''You have the Adobe DLM''' listed in your plug-ins; '''''getplusplusadobe16263'''''
See:
'''Uninstall Adobe Download Manager'''
It has caused problems for many users. In the following article, scroll to near the bottom and follow the instructions under the heading "Getting rid of GetPlus":
http://www.404techsupport.com/2009/09/get-adobe-flash-and-reader-without-getplus-in-firefox/
~~red:'''The suggested method:'''~~
'''Install/Update Adobe Flash Player for Firefox''': your ver. 10.0 r42; current ver. 10.0 r45
See: '''[http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+the+Flash+plugin#Updating_Flash Updating Flash]'''
-download and '''SAVE to your hard drive''' (save to Desktop for easy access)
-exit Firefox (File > Exit)
-double-click on the Adobe Flash installer you just downloaded to install it
-when the Flash installation is complete, start Firefox, and test the Flash installation here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15507&sliceId=1
*'''NOTE: On Vista and Windows 7''' you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). See this: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/run_as_administrator.htm
*'''NOTE for IE:''' Firefox and most other browsers use a Plugin. IE uses an ActiveX version of Flash. To install/update the IE ActiveX Adobe Flash Player, same instructions as above, except use IE to download the ActiveX Flash installer.

I am trying to install flash player on Safari, the download goes to 7% and stops.

I am trying to install Flash Player on my mac with Safari, the download goes to 7% then stops.

Try this installer http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac/install_flash_playe r_11_osx.dmg

Trying to install Flash Player 11 and it times out everytime

Why is Flash Player install timing out at 7% every time I try to install it? I have even tried getting it from mirror sites and it still times out at 7% on the install panel.

I have a mac computer. I am trying to install flash player but get the message "install adobe flash player wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this." I do not use a password to open the computer.

I have a mac computer that uses no password. When installing flash player I get the message "Install adobe flash player wants to make changes Type your password to allow this. I can't get past this message.

Hi,
To change your password you will need to open System Preferences, then open Users & Groups, click on Change Password. Change your password to a temporary one, then when you have finished you do the same procedure to change it back, by typing in the temp password then leaving the new password blank. Hope this helps.

I am trying to install flash player on my 10.5.8 mac. I have "install flash player" download onto my computer but when I try to open it, it closes and says that it "quit unexpectedly." what should I do?

ya that's my questioin\

Hello,
You'll need to install Flash Player 10.3.183.90, the last version supported for OS X 10.5.8. Download the archive zip file, http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_10.3.183.90_archive.z ip, and extract the contents. Then navigate inside the 10_3_r183_90 directory and use the file named flashplayer_10_3r183_90_mac_intel.dmg.

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO INSTALL FLASH PLAYER FOR A MONTH!!!!

Hi
I don't mean this post to sound like a complaint and I don't want to write an essay either.
It genuinly is a request for some help.
First of all:
I used to have Flashplayer (which Flashplayer I don't know) but it worked fine. All of a sudden everywhere I went started asking me to install the latest version of Flash Player. This includes the BBC, Youtube and just about any website which was offering video - most of them (like Adobe) pretty much household names in the twenty first century. Quite clearly Adobe is BIG! Even the BBC can't operate without Adobe!
It has got to the point where I expect bus inspectors to jump out on the 192 to manchester and tell me that I can't board the bus without the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. In fact, as finding out how to install it is becoming a full time job I'm dreaming about Adobe at night and thinking about it every waking hour. I imagine that when this new version of Flash Player is finally installed it will blow my mind??
Okay so I am joking (a little). But honestly, this issue has wasted hours and hours of my time and been made worse by an Adobe website which is like a conundrum of merrygorounds. Nothing is clear and nothing seems to link to where it says it will - if it does it goes about the houses back to the beginning. I just spend half an hour (starting at the start page linked to by the BBC) from changing United States to United Kingdom / selecting Support then going through about four or five more pages looking for this support only to discover I had been led back to the beginning to change United States to United Kingdom again. I know I'm right on this matter because in the ADOBE adventure of the last month I've actually found the troubleshooting pages for Flash Player on a number of occasions (equally as madly but by different routes).
I am not a computer programer, I am a website software user. I'm currently building a site with over 1000 pages of different interlinked themes for a not for profit organisation- This still has many many mistakes but despite not getting paid a penny for it - its easier to use and understand than Adobe's - thus my USERNAME.
YOU NEED TO FIX YOUR LINKING SYSTEMS! Because getting help from a leading international software manufacturer for a product which is advertised as FREE but is ESSENTIAL for viewing active content on just about every legitimate site on the World Wide Web must be frustrating thousands if not hundreds of thousands of Adobe users. In the end it won't be good for business!
I have been trying to install FlashPlayer 10
I have uninstalled previous AdobeFP installations, Java set to allow. Permissions in registry okay.
I identified my problem through your troubleshooting page as 'FP installs okay (according to some half visible writing in a little box to the right of the screen) but still won't play. Incidentally, despite this half visible writing claiming I have successfully installed FP - the flash movie doesn't play and there is no text below it - as the dialogue suggests would appear.
Nothing WAS wrong with my registry unless the abortive attempts to install FP has corrupted them.
I have read document kb400116 (and others) and followed them to the letter.
I am using IE7 on WXP Home and McAffee Home security (nothing to do with them either).
I strongly believe (by reading through some posts on here) that the problem DOES lie with ADOBE!
Does anyone have any suggestions or should I stop paying my BBC licence?
Thanks

Try this it worked for me Pat Willener gave it to me off the site :
I have not read all you wrote, so I may have missed some points. As I understand it, you installed FP 10 on IE7, but it won't play any Flash content?
Try this
download the FP uninstaller from http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157
close all browser windows, then run the uninstaller
download the offline ActivX installer for Internet Explorer from http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
close all browser windows, then run the installer

I am trying to install my downloaded flash player on my new MacPro hard drive. I get the continual message that my I.D. and password are wrong. I know they are not wrong and have tried a lot of combinations from old Macs and old passwords too. Nothing works. How can I get the job done?

Hi,
On Mac, this password prompt is presented by your operating system, and is intended to keep you from accidentally installing software which can harm your system. Flash Player does not throw this prompt, Apple does that.
Please provide machine credentials of currently logged in User to continue with the installation.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

I keep getting time out error messages when trying to install flash player

I've put a new install of Win 7 64 bit pro onto a new hdd. All other s/w has worked fine and not given me any issues except for adobe flash player. If I just install FP 11 it installs ok. Issue happens when I try to install the "other" version for Steam. The install screen stops at 11%, shoots up to 47%, then I get a timeout error message. If I uninstall and install the Steam version 1st it works then the regular version gets the same timeout error. I have folllowed all advice from previous threads on this topic such as disabling firewall (I use Panda), a clean adobe install using the flash player uninstall program and removing reader as well then going through the registry and removing all mention of adobe, etc, etc.
I found a partial way around this. I installed the Steam version of flash player, then found a website that I could download flash player 10 executable from. I was able to run that and get both versions of flash player going on my system. Then the flash player went and found the update to version 11. I've just tried to install that and I end up with the exact same error messages all over again.
Is there website that I can download the executable file for flash player 11 from or a link to it on the adobe website?

I am not sure what you mean by "Flash Player for steam"; the only Flash Player installers I know is the ActiveX (for Internet Explorer) and the plugin (for other browsers); you can find both at http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header
