Why won't Flash Builder install?

I am attempting to update my Adobe CS5 to Adobe CS6.  Everything is fine until I get to this screen:
So, following the instructions, I completely removed Flash Builder from my computer and emptied the trash bin.  I relaunch the install, and it still tells me there is a conflicting version.  I tried restarting my entire computer and still have nothing.  Now I have no Flash Builder at all on my computer and the installer refuses to let me click it as an install option.
This is extremely frustrating and Flash Builder is a program that I absolutely need.  I don't want to install anything else until I can figure this out because I don't want the download to be a one time shot and then I'm completely out of luck.  Any help would be greatly appreciated before this beautiful Macbook Pro becomes a frisbee!

  • Why won't Flash CS3 install on my MacPro?

    I've done three clean installs of CS3. Lots of crashing problems with FW CS4 and Bridge CS4, so I thought a fresh start would be helpful. Wrong. I'm NOT on Snow Leopard. MacPro, Intel, 4 gigs RAM. I did have Fireworks CS4 on my Mac, but it's all uninstalled. When I try to install the entire CS3 suite, Flash will not install. When I try to install Flash all by itself, it keeps asking for the Fireworks install CD, over and over, even though FW has been uninstalled. Then, ultimately, Flash doesn't install.
    I tried to run the CS3 cleanup script, but the terminal won't take my password. I ran the CS4 cleanup script after I uninstalled FW, but it said there was nothing to clean up.
    Please, can anyone help? I've spent SEVERAL hours on this. Even repaired permissions. I want to scream.

    I had a scratched disk.
    I did two things: I bought a disk repair contraption at Best Buy. Worked awesomely. Then I copied the file onto my hard drive and ran it from there.
    This was NOT a seamless process, and I can't even remember everything I did to make it work (oh, and I had copied and pasted Fireworks CS4 to my desktop from my install CD, too, because it stopped recognizing my brand new license, and Flash CS3 required this FW CS4 file to be in the same location from which I installed it in order to make Flash CS3 install), but I FINALLY got it to work, after working on it for 6 hours, going to bed at 3am, getting up at 7:30am, and working on it for another 11 hours, including two phone calls for a total of two hours to Adobe's stellar support in Pah-kee-stahn, wherein I was given the wrong information from 3 technicians who, granted, *really* tried to help, but who couldn't even agree with each other on the fix - "Customer service will give you a link to stand-alone versions of Acrobat 8 and Flash CS3 that you can activate with your serial number," "No we can't. We'll have to send you a link to the whole suite." Except the link to the download wouldn't work when they checked it on their end, so they couldn't send it to me, and they would have someone call me back in 24-48 hours, then 2-3 hours (after I pitched a fit because I have to work - no work, no pay) - they didn't call me back. It's been over 24 hours, it's been over 2-3 hours.
    And even so, it won't reinstall Acrobat because it says it's already been installed, even though I can't find it anywhere on my system - not in my applications folder, not in my emptied trash, not my various folders in the user library, not in the root library, not in the system library - nowhere. But it's there. In a ghost area of my system, apparently. So I had to buy Acrobat 9 just so I could work. Academic Superstore. Academic discount - NEVER stop learning! Even if you're 51.
    I feel incredibly hostile toward Adobe. But their software is my bread-and-butter. I use almost all of it on a daily basis. It's going to be a long, long time before I trust Adobe with my money. CS4 Master Collection, that I was salivating over, that I was planning to save up for? I don't think so. CS5? Unlikely, until I have no other choice.
    I would rather wait longer and get software that doesn't eat into my productivity with bugs and crashes.
    That's okay. I've been venting away about this on Twitter and Facebook and LinkedIn and a web development group I'm on. I can warn others. Funny thing is, I'm getting so many responses from people going through nightmares of their own with CS4. Only a handful of people respond with, "I don't know what you're talking about! My CS4 has run flawlessly!" Only a handful. So sad.

  • Why won't Flash Player install past 25%.

    I have OS X10.10.2 Yosemite and am running Safarii Version 8.0.4 (10600.4.10.7). I have uninstalled the previous version of "Flash Player" and have tried to install a new version from url - https://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html. The installation only gets as far as 25% before stalling. I have let it run for an hour or more and it still won't budge. Can anyone help?

    This morning we resolved a problem that prevented Flash Player installations from completing for some of our Macintosh users.
    If you encountered this problem, please delete any previously downloaded Flash Player installer and either:
    1.)      Download the installer again from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
    2.)      Download the stand-alone installer from  http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg

  • Why won't Flash player install on my windows vista?

    After downloading and installing Flash player several times on my computer the installation fails in spite of the message reading that it has successfully installed. As a result I am unable to view videos from my favorite photo sites. Using internet explorer on a 64 bit system.

    Download the following files by right clicking and selecting "Save target as"
    Flash Player Uninstaller
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Save ALL files to your Downloads folder - DO NOT RUN anything yet.
    Reboot your system.
    BEFORE opening anything else, go to your Downloads folder and run the UNINSTALLER to remove all instances of Flash Player.
    Next, run the ActiveX Installer.
    Once Flash Player is installed go to: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/alternates/#sp
    Download BOTH files, the one on the right FIRST by right clicking and selecting "Save target as"... the other by clicking and following the steps to download the FULL ActiveX installer.
    Once everything is installed, see:Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer  and: ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer  to make 100% sure that Flash Player is enabled and NOT being blocked by ActiveX controls.
    I have a Vista Utlimate 64 bit system and it worked for me the way I described here.

  • Why Won't Flash Player Install?!?!

    I am trying to install the latest version of Flash Player for my Mac (on Firefox), it never gets past 97%.  I have uninstalled and tried to download again and again.  The installer window would not close without uninstalling it.  Now I do now have Flash Player at all!!!  What am I supposed to do?

    Please use the offline installer:
    http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg
    If that doesn't work, it's typically something corrupted with either the filesystem or filesystem permissions.
    Before running the disk repair utility, you would be wise to ensure that you have current backups if you have anything important on the machine.
    Then go to Application > Utilities > Disk Utility
    Choose your hard disk from the left column (typically Macintosh HD), then click Verify Disk and subsequently Repair Disk if necessary.  After that, do Repair Disk Permissions.  Oddly, sometimes Verify Disk Permissions will come back clean, but Repair Disk Permissions with then find a repair a bunch of stuff.  You can do both, but just skipping to Repair is faster.

  • TS1702 Why won't my apps install on my ipad? it keeps waiting. Please help

    Why won't my apps install on my iPad, it just keeps waiting. Please help.
    Thanks.

    These are all steps that have worked for some other users in the past. They may not work for you, but they are worth a try.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.

  • Why won't snow leopard install on Mac OSX intel core duo10.5.8

    Why won't Snow Leopard install on my Mac O S X 10.5.8 Intel core duo

    You need a minimum 1 GB of RAM.  It has to be of high quality*: http://www.macmaps.com/badram.html
    You should also look over this FAQ to make sure you didn't miss anything*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/upgradefaq.html
    Note, in event you were interested in Lion, that Mac is not compatible with Lion unless you misidentified it.  Only MacBooks with machine ID 2,1 or later can upgrade to Lion (1,1 and 1,2 are earlier).  The Machine ID is in Apple menu -> About This Mac -> More Info.

  • Why does the flash update install mcaffee with out asking!!!

    Why does the flash update install mcaffee with out asking!!!

    Because McAffee pays to have their installer "bundled" with the update. It's not right, and the "blind installer" in the update (with no opt out) has been documented and reported.
    You can download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly (without any bundled installers) by clicking one of the following links.
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Bookmark those for future use.

  • My vista computer has crashed on which i have flash builder installed

    my vista computer has crashed on which i have flash builder installed how do i reinstall it on another machine.

    How did you purchase Flash builder? If you have registered your product, your serial number will be listed in your account info.
    You can download or install again on another machine and then use the serial number.
    If you face any activation issues after installation, call Adobe Support (http://helpx.adobe.com/contact/).

  • Why won't Flash videos play in Facebook?

    I can't seem to get Flash videos to play in Facebook.  I hear sound, but just get a blank black screen where I would expect to see the video. Youtube videos work fine.
    If I browse to http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html I see the following:
    "Check if Flash Player is installed on your computer", it shows the following under Step 1:
    Congratulations, your computer has the latest Flash Player installed.
    Start playing games, listening to music, and watching videos!
    YOUR SYSTEM INFORMATION
    Your Flash Version
    12.0.0.44
    Your browser name
    Internet Explorer (I'm using IE 11)
    Your Operating System (OS)
    Windows (Windows 7) (I have a 64bit OS)
    I followed Stpes 2, 3, and 4, and even see the Flash video of a swaying tree on the page under Step 5, which makes me thing Flash is correctly installed yet I'm still unable to get videos to play on Facebook. 
    Troubleshooting steps I've taken:
    - Deleted %apphost%\flash and %apphost%\macromedia folders from my system
    - Uninstall/reinstall Adobe Flash
    - Reset Internet Explorer setting to default settings, cleared browsing history, and deleted temporary internet files
    - Confirmed under "Manage Add-Ons" that "Shockwave Flash Object" is enabled
    - Ensure clean Host and LMHost files
    I'd greatly appreciate other troubleshooting suggestions anyone else can provide.  Thank you.

    The problem is... not Flash Player.... it's Ie 11.
    Microsoft intentionally screwed up the "User-Agent Strings" that websites use to identify the browser and provide the proper content for it. If a website can ID it at all, it misidentifies it as either Gecko (Firefox) or Webkit (Safari), but since the full browser engine isnt there, IE then becomes an unidentifiable visitor.
    The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
    Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
    I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
    Firefox (from Mozilla)
    Opera (from Opera)
    Safari (from Apple)
    Chrome (from Google)
    ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.
