Upon installation of Shackwave Flash update, recieved error message "failed to initialize". Redownloading installer from mozzilla leads to same result.

Firefox prompts update for shockwave flash. Downloaded installer but repeatedly fails at 50%, reads "failed to initialize." Redownloading the installer leads to the same result.

Hello, be sure that Firefox is closed (from File > Exit), before install Flash.
Also be sure to run the Flash installer as Administrator (right-click: Run as ...) to get access rights for installing the files. Any luck ?
thank you

Still getting same error message. Can anyone help me

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

I had my hard drive cleaned and cannot install cs6 master collection from disk. I am getting error message failed to initialize. please download adobe advisor support. I am using a pc and have windows 8. Please help.

start at the top and work your way down applying applicable fixes until your problem is resolved.
if cc (win): https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/creative-cloud-desktop-application-failed.html
if, your error is:
"Installer failed to initialize. File not found." or "Installer failed to initialize. This could be due to missing files."
first, rename OOBE Folder to OOBE.old.
to find OOBE:
64 bit win OS: Program Files x86\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE
32 bit win OS: Program Files \Common Files\Adobe\OOBE
mac os: HD>library>application support>adobe>caps
mac os: USER>library>application support>adobe>OOB
if that fails or isn't the exact error you see, uninstall, clean (http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html) and reinstall.
if you're using a dvd to install:
copy the disc contents to a desktop directory and install from that directory.
if you're using a mac:
1. Try to Create a new user account in Mac with Administrator Priviledges.
2. Login to the New user, Navigate to Mac HD> Application> Utilities> Adobe Installer folder, Locate products like Adobe Reader, Adobe Flash, Adobe Air and un-install them
3. Navigate to User Library> Application Support> Adobe and move Adobe to Trash.
4. Navigate to Mac HD> Library> Application Support> Adobe and move Adobe to Trash.
5. Start the installation again.
if everything applicable above fails, check your installation logs:

WinXP, LabView 6.1 Installation error message: 'Failed to initialize installer. Error 110.'

I am using WinXP and have no virus protection software installed. I have already tried installing instmsiw.exe, which didn't help. I also tried restarting in safe mode, starting and cancelling the install process, and restarting in normal mode, as per a suggestion I found, to no avail. Any other suggestions?

Hi,
Some steps you can take to check if it is the CD or your system would be:
1) Copy cd down to hard drive and try to install from there
2) Try installing from cd on another machine
3) Try another CD (if you have one)
If you run into the situation where it works on another machine, but doesn't work when copying down to your hard drive, I would then further try sharing the cd-rom drive of another machine temporarily and then accessing the cd from the network, or just copy it down into another machine and share it across the network. If this does not resolve your installation problem, the issue may be related to some corruption in your system install or possibly any permission issues. Lastly, if you cannot get the cd to work anywhere, I would co
ntact your local sales representative to see if you can get a new copy of the cd.

Recieved error messages while performing recovery to factory state from the hard drive

HP Touchsmart tx2-1165ea, product no:NM515EA,microsoft vista SP1 operating system.
I keep recieving error messages during recovery to factory state from hard drive and perfoming a recovery from my recovery disc hangs on disc2. Therefore I am unable to update vista sp1 to vista sp2 the reson is: error SMI primitive installer failed (ox8007371c).
Reason for recovery ? performed a clean upgrade to windows 7(as rcommended) but I dont like that operating system
Request: kindly rectify my factory shipped recovery partion errors.

Thank you for the clarification.
Typically, service packs have some requirements before they are listed in Windows update. It's really the build ID that determines what updates are listed through Windows Updates. Various Windows Updates will change the build ID and once that prerequisite is reached, service should be listed. I know that service pack 2 does not show in Windows Update until several updates and restarts later on my Vista SP1 system at home.
Have you tried running Windows Update multiple times making sure to install the important updates or did you go straight to trying to manually install the service pack?
1. recovery disc is on the hard drive shipped in the computer from the factory.
I may be reading too much into this, but does this mean the recovery was performed by pressing F11 during boot or by using disks created using the hard drive's recovery partition prior to upgrading to it to Windows 7?
Also, how many times did you attempt the recovery from scratch? Many users have stated simply doing the recovery again took care of the issue and this seemed to be independent of manufacturer.
You can try the registry edit listed here, but registry edits are a little risky and do so at your own risk. However, try the first solution in the registry edit post.

I am trying to install iTunes 12.0 on my Windows 7 PC to sync my iPhone6. I am getting error message, "Item already exists" on installation of iTunes 12.0. Apple has no fix. Help???

I am trying to install iTunes 12.0 on my Windows 7 PC to sync my iPhone6. I am getting error message, "Item already exists" on installation of iTunes 12.0. Apple has no fix. Help???

Item or object?
For "Object already exists" or "Access denied" errors when installing try opening Control Panel > Programs and Features > View installed updates then checking for Security Update for Microsoft Windows (KB2918614). Uninstall if you have it, then reboot and try installing again.

I am not able to download Flash Player--- the error message is Internet Explorer should be closed

I am unable to download Flash Player ===== the error message says that Internet Explorer should be closed---- how would I get to Adobe.com if Internet Explorer is not open?

You download the installer (http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe) and save it to disk, then close all Internet Explorer windows and run the downloaded installer.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Cannot download updates without error message

Whenever I try to download my computer's updates, an error message pops up saying that I do not have sufficient admin privileges to download them. This is troubling because my account is the only account on my computer, and is clearly registered as an "admin". How can I fix this so that I can download my software updates?

Try repairing your permissions. If that does not work, try booting from your install disc and reset the admin password.
