Work around for Flash Player 9/SMS 2003 install issues?

All,
As has been stated here previously, there appears to be an
issue which prevents the installation of Flash Player 9.0.16.0 when
pushed from SMS to a system which has a standard user logged in,
even when using a Domain Admin installation account. As long as the
user has Admin rights, or there is no user logged on, the install
goes smoothly.
I work in a partial retail environment, and all of our retail
machines are rebooted nightly via a sheduled task. So, naturally
when I was tasked with pushing Flash Player to these mahcines, and
found the above issue, I simply only allowed the program to kick
off when no user was logged on. Thus, when each machine reboots and
sits at ctrl+alt+del at 3AM, viola, the install kicks off, Flash
installs, and everyone's happy.
I now have to push Flash Player 9 to the rest of my company,
with no guarantee that many machines will ever sit for any
appreciable time logged off. In fact, the only time most of them
reboot is when we force them to after Windows Updates each month.
=op
Has anyone found a fix for this issue? I'd really love to be
able to advertise Flash Player and let the user install from
Add/Remove Programs at their leisure.
Thanks in advance!
Bill

I was having the exact same problems - uninstalled/installed
Flash and Shockwave. Used the appropriate uninstaller, searched for
rogue .dll extension files, cleaned out the
C:\Windows\System32\Macromedia\Flash files, looked at the manage
add-ons, posted on this forum, e-mailed Adobe, spoke with them on
the phone and even uninstalled IE7 and went back to IE 6. None of
that helped.
Reading through some of the responses on various posts, I
found the following:
Uninstall flash with the latest Adobe stand alone uninstaller
Download Complete Standalone installer Flash Player 9 earlier
version from
http://www.softwarepatch.com/internet/flash.html
Uninstall shockwave with the latest Adobe stand alone
uninstaller
Download Stand-alone installers for Shockwave Player:
previous versions only

Note: Users of Windows XP operating system must use the 8.5.1
Shockwave player or higher. For more information, please
seeInstalling the Shockwave Player on Microsoft Windows XP
(TechNote tn_15924).

I tried this last night - one and then the other one - and
they both are running fine.

Is there a solution or work around for flash player issues?

Is there a solution, app or work around for flash player issues w/ iPad 2? Maybe even something in development?

Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter and Puffin 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store, so you could try checking there for your sites (and there is the built-in YouTube app). But flash itself is unlikely to ever be supported on the iPad : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ , and Adobe have failed to create a version of flash that works on iOS
There is a search box on the right-hand side of this page for further info.

Work-around for flash player hangs/freezes during initialisation...

Hello all,
Are you also facing the problem that the flash player hangs/freezes during execution of an xcelsius file? Try if the following work-around works also for you.
I am (was) facing the same problem: a swf file about 1474 kb with many components, generated with Xcelsius 5.3.2.0., trying to view with flash player 10.1.82.76. Did also hang/freezed! The file was originally build with version 5.3.0 and worked o.k. then...
The work-around which works for me is the following: I had all my components organized in groups. After ungrouping them all (which I think is a major drawback) and exporting it to swf, the report works! File size is more or less the same...
Maybe you can give this work-around a try for your own work....
So I think the SAP/Adobe bug has something to do with grouping of components or grouped components build in an earlier version of Xcelsius 2008... The following test that I will perform is ungrouping the components and then re-grouping them again in version 5.3.2.0....
Greetings
Erik-Jan Vriens

Thank you for sharing this. Had a similar problem before and did some tinkering around with the file and all of a sudden it worked again. Fair bet it was exactly that as well.
In general Xcelsius performance goes down the drain if you start using many components. It is to be expected, somewhat, I guess. Various bugs also pop up because components do not always seem to play nice.
One thing I have found as well is that if you are doing a waterfall approach of constructing with a bunch of iterations in the implementation phase, you may end up with a bunch of components that were there early on. Sometimes they start messing up over time, because you've been playing with the data below or with the chart itself. E.g. on line charts label start distorting, or the frames flicker. In radiobutton boxes the boxes are not aligned properly. Checkbox labels are clipped at the end until you hover over them etc..
Solution: remove the components, add anew. If not too many components with a tough spreadsheet below, export Excel, start a new.

Help for Flash player that will not install

Flash player won't install on Dell with Mozilla Firefox version 33.0 for Yahoo 1.32. It does not matter what I try or even if I delete all old flash player files, folders etc. The download goes as far as the black box where it should be installing and just freezes there. I have pretty much tried everything to get it t0 install, including your troubleshooter. I also checked on Firefox and there is no available plug in download for the flash player. I even uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and that will still not work. I tried to download using just Internet Explore 11 and that wont work either. It saves the file and I can make it run, but it goes directly to the black box fr Adobe flash player installation and is blank and will not go any further. help please!!!

Hi
I read your post about having difficulty downloading flash player 10 but that you also were able to fix the problem. I use IE8 and my operating system is XP Professional SP3. I'm hoping that you can answer a question for me.
In the troubleshooting tip issued by Adobe one of the things to do was to check my sercuity program. I use Norton and currently Adobe Flash player isn't in the list of allowed programs under my internet settings. My question is, would it be ok to drop the executable file of the Flash Player that is currently on my desk top, drop it into the programs file? There is a folder with all of the other Adobe programs in it because then I could select and add to the allowed programs in my Norton.
I hope someone can answer this for me.
thanks,
Ellen

Security update for flash player....did it install?

Yesterday on dec 16, I had a window pop up on my comp telling me that there is some security update for flash player so I clicked install and it was connecting and everything...then I allowed Adobe systems incorportated permission and all that stuff which was normal....then the adobe helper stopped working and I got a message saying that it will have to close the program......now I don't know...did the updates install or not...what were the security updates so I can check...any advice?

Hi, well DLM is Download Manager and sometimes it is used to D/L FP. It is supposed to disconnect after FP is downloaded. Go to Add/Remove, you should see Flash Player 10 ActiveX listed. If the Adobe Download Manager or DLM is listed Remove it from there and reboot. It is not supposed to be there after it serves it purpose.
The version is 10.0.42.34, I hope you just made a typo:-)
Also, if you are using IE, go to Tools>Manage add ons and look to see if you have listed Shockwave Flash Object......
ActiveX......Flash10d.ocx and that it is Enabled. Be sure to check in "currently loaded" and "have been used".
In Firefox you would look in extenstions, add ons or plug-ins, look for SWF.
In order for FP to operate properly, you need the ActiveX in IE and the SWF plug-in in FF.
Thanks

Hi, i'm a new member of this community. I've recently learn about flashback malware and other threats to Mac devices. I've installed the new Mac OS X update for Lion 10.7, and the flashback removal tool. what about the update for Flash Player?

Hi,
i'm a new member of this community. I've recently learn about flashback malware and other threats to Mac devices. I've installed the new Mac OS X update for Lion 10.7, and the flashback removal tool. What about the update for Flash Player? Should i install it? Otherwise, should i permanently remove this app?
I realy need some advice.
Thank's to all.

Be sure to install the latest version of Safari (version 5.1.7) which is available via Software Update (in the Apple menu) if you have not already installed it. This update will automatically disable older versions of Flash when new versions are available, and will instruct you on how to install the latest version on your system. This should help keep your system safe from any vulnerabilities in Flash.
Note that this is only useful if you use Safari, though other browsers have their own update mechanisms you should research and enable or configure to your liking.

ActiveX control for Flash Player could not be registered - no solutions work

I am getting the "ActiveX control for Flash Player could not be registered" when I try to install 11 on IE9 (Windows 7 64-bit). I have tried everything that has been suggested in other posts and forums to no avail. This is driving me crazy and hindering me from work. Can someone please help? Thank you!

I just had this issue and have been searching and searching for a way to fix this issue. I have a Windows 7 64 bit system and this was happening with IE 9. But I have found the solution.
Go to http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/494/cpsid_49419.html and follow these instructions. This worked for my system and I was able top install the newest flash with no problems.
Make sure you are logged into a Windows Administrator account. If you are not, you will not be able to use SubInACL.
Download SubInACL from the Microsoft Download Center.
Follow the installation instructions. Make sure you install SubInACL (subinacl.exe) to the directory C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools.
Download the reset_fp10.zip file.
Open the fp10.zip file and extract the reset_fp10.cmd file to the directory C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\.
Both this file and SubInACL (subinacl.exe) must be in this directory.
Double-click reset_fp10.cmd. A command window will open, and SubInACL will run.
Do not use the machine while SubInACL is running.
After SubInACL finishes, you will see a prompt "Press any key to continue".
Install Flash Player from the Flash Player download page.
To confirm that your installation succeeded, visit the About Flash Player page. At the top of the screen, you should see a message that reads "Adobe Flash Player Successfully Installed."

Server 2003 R2 sp2 on IBM T42: is there a work-around for getting bluetooth to work?

I have seen a few forums here and there talking about possible work-arounds for the lack of a bluetooth stack in server 2003, and they have not worked.
The driver here:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-50245.html
Installs without compalint, but after reboot, cannot find a bluetooth device. The bluetooth service starts and runs happily.
I found a hack-around solution involving update Q323183 for tricking 2003 into installing a bluetooth stack elsewhere, it also failed to return any results.
Has anyone figured this one out?

welcome to the forum!
i had this working on my T42p back in the day but that was 6 years ago. it installed using the driver from IBM and the MS BT stack. i'm about 95% sure i was using the standard version of 2003 which by default includes a BT stack. enterprise and datacenter do not since there's no logical reason for either one to be running bluetooth due to security risks.

"the activex control for flash player could not be registered" - Solutions Roundup

I recently ran into this problem on my computer:
http://at32.s3.amazonaws.com/flash_install_problems2.jpg
I am a Flash developer (as in I write SWFs, I don't work for Adobe). and when I updated IE to 10.2, "the activex control for flash player could not be registered". Since I am a developer, I also have Firefox and Chrome installed, with Flash running without problems. For a long time now, Internet Explorer has used a different version (ActiveX) to the other browsers, which use plugins. I am a strong supporter of Flash, it's great to develop with and has a very wide feature set which is growing all the time, unlike fixed technologies/standards. However, the weakest part is the install process - I don't understand why their is a Download Manager. Google Chrome does it's best (so far) by managing the install/update process entirely in the background. Anyway, it was in my best interest to try and get to the bottom of this.
For the record, on the problem machine I have Windows 7 with IE8, but I have seen almost identical symptoms with IE9, Windows XP SP3, as well as various iterations of Flash Player (10.0, 10.1, 10.2 and even some final editions of version 9).
First I tried the standard support here:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html
Basically, doing the manual uninstall and manual install of the latest version (without using the download manager, or have IE open). This did not work. I also tried the Microsoft "subinacl" program, together with "reset_fp10.bat". This didn't work either. However, you should try all of these things first before progressing further.
A quick note about people who had tried running the following at a command prompt: "secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb /verbose"
I didn't do this, because on investigating further it didn't seem to work with Windows 7, only Windows XP, Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 - though there was a few threads where this had fixed the problem for some users.
For my solution, it is recommended you use the manual uninstall / installers, so you should have them downloaded ready to use.
I then heard about problems with permissions in the registry with the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\shockwaveflash.shockwave
So I opened regedit.exe (start - run - typed "regedit.exe"), navigated to the key and sure enough, I couldn't open it - permission denied - even though I had an administrator account. If for some reason, you can access this key (and any subkeys), then it's likely the following fix will not resolve the problem.
I then done further diagnosis, by using Process Monitor to try and install Flash Player, and I got the following:
http://at32.s3.amazonaws.com/flash_install_problems.gif
This shows all the access denied errors the Flash Player install was experiencing when trying to write to the registry key. This confirmed that this was the problem. I only stress this because several people said it was unwise to tinker with the registry. Though this is common advice, this is the only known fix for this precise problem at present, since you need to manually adjust the permissions yourself. I don't know who is at fault here - Microsoft or Adobe - but let's just get Flash fixed...
The solution:
Firstly, you may want to backup your registry, or the exact key. I didn't do this so I've provided no instructions on how to, but it is recommended for the paranoid. Also make sure as much software is closed down as possible - browsers, IM software, any junk in your system tray. As way of example, I happened to have "BBC iPlayer" installed and running in the background which uses Adobe AIR and Flash Player, so I exited that too.
1) Open regedit (start - run - type "regedit.exe"). You may need to right click on it and select "Run As Administrator", but I didn't as my account was already administrator.
2) Navigate to the key. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\shockwaveflash.shockwave
Click on it to confirm that you cannot access it (you will get an error) - if their are no problems - this probably isn't the cause of your issues.
3) Right click on it and click Permissions, and ignore any message that may pop up.
4) Under "Group or Usernames" click "Add". Type your account name name, or "Administrators" in the box, then "Check Names" to format it correctly, then Ok.
5) Now on the next screen click the checkbox to enable Full Control (this will also automatically enable "Read" permission too).
6) Click Advanced, then the "Owner" tab at the top. You will see that their is no "Current Owner". This is what we will now fix.
7) Click on your name to change the owner to (I went for Administrators). Also enable the checkbox entitled "Replace Owner on subcontainers and objects". Then click Ok. You will get an error message, which you can try clicking Retry to, but hit Cancel - this is not a problem.
8) Click Ok a couple of times and this part of your registry is now fixed.
9) Now it's a simple case of running the manual Flash uninstall program, then finally the manual Flash installer (for Active X - not the Firefox/Chrome plugin versions). To my surprise, after a couple of days looking into this - I finally had a solution and Flash in IE once more. If you are using Firefox too you may find Flash is no longer installed their (the uninstaller removed it). In this case just install via the Adobe site or try to watch a video on You Tube and you will be prompted or linked to the install.
Hope this provides a good round up of the possible solutions to this problem. Hopefully Microsoft or Adobe can find out what causes this issue in the first place so we don't have to go down this route for much longer. Chrome's implementation of Flash shows how effortlessly things can work!

They will stay on the screen. However, Process Monitor is only intended for advanced users. It is recommended that users try to navigate to the troublesome registry key using regedit, and see if they can access it or not without an error. This is far easier than trying to use Process Monitor, which is very complicated.
I used Process Monitor to confirm that it was just that key which was causing the problem, and not others. Process Monitor is not to be confused with the new Resource Monitor which is accessible via Task Manager in Windows 7 (and possibly Vista). If you must experiment (and Process Monitor is very useful for diagnosing many deep-level problems if you know what you're looking for) Process Monitor can be downloaded from here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645
It replaces the older Sysinternals "FileMon" and "RegMon". For those interested in the technical side, I had to setup a number of filters to be able to get the results display as in the screenshot. First of all to just show Registry events. Then to just show events from the manual Flash activeX installer executable. The I added a filter to show only non-successfull results. And finally, for the purposes of the screenshot, added a filter to just show those with "Access Denied", since other non-critical errors are also picked up due to missing keys because installation has not yet been fully completed I guess. When experimenting, most of these filters were applied using the "is not" boolean logic, which will make sense if you experiment with the program.
Without adding any filters, it picks up so many events (hundreds per second) that it's otherwise unusable. e.g. 40,000 events within the first few seconds of opening the program. For this reason, I recommend simply using Regedit to diagnose the problem with the particular Flash registry key.

The activex controls for flash player could not be registered

the activex controls for flash player could not be registered
i have had this problem for a while and cannot seem to get around it please post anyreliable suggestions

Just to add some additional misery to this thread. I have this exact same issue. Windows 7.
The issue started several weeks ago, when a flash update failed to install. Everything seemed fine other than every reboot, this flash update would fail (and in fact would "hang"), but flash itself continued to work.
Yesterday, it stopped completely. It said flash wasn't installed. I've tried:
1. Completely uninstalling flash (it is not in Add/remove programs) but using the techniques and videos offered by Adobe to remove the files, using their uninstaller, etc.
2. Perform the fix as outlined in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/987370 which including installing SubACL, the batch file, etc. The batch file ran successfully, but did not solve the problem.
3. I've tried Windows System restore, but it doesn't seem to go back far enough.
4. I've tried the fixit identifed above in this thread and while it solves certain problems, still doesn't solve my issue.
5. I've tried installing using the stand alone EXE and MSI from Adobe.
6. I've tried the 11.9 beta.
None of these have worked and all result in the "failed to register" error. I'm currently using the flash built into Google Chrome as I needed to have some working flash component.
Anyone else have any ideas whatsoever short of a Windows reinstallation?

Flex Builder 3 Beta 3 Debugging not working with latest Flash Player Debug

First to emphasize that never had such issues with Flex
Builder 2 Beta 2 and Flash Player 9.0.47 Debug version.
I downloaded Flex Builder 3 Beta 3 and installed it. Then
trying to debug any Flex app (old or newly created) does not work.
I don’t get any errors, but after some research I saw
it’s nagging up on trying to connect to the Flash Player
debug version.
1. Uninstalled old versions of Flash Player (FP).
2. Downloaded latest debug version of FP 9 (9.0.115) and
installed it both for IE and Opera (Netscape-compatible).
3. Installed Flex Builder 3 Beta 3.
4. Created a simple Flex app.
5. Ran it in debug mode.
6. Showed a small window with title “Progress
Information” and a progress + text: Waiting for Flash Player
to connect to debugger…
7. Two minutes later I got the error: “Failed to
connect; session timed out. Ensure that: 1. You compiled your Flash
application with debugging on. 2. You are running the debugger
version of Flash Player.”
Any idea what is wrong? I tried to download an older debug
version but then FB 3 Beta 3 raises the error it’s expecting
version 9.0.115. I searched to download FB3 Beta 2 (because I
deleted it after downloading Beta 3) but unfortunately Adobe did
their best to wipe it out from their links.
Any help is welcome.

Color management for flash player with hardware acceleration

I have tested the color management for flash player 10.2 with and without hardware acceleration (GPU) on different PCs with different video cards.
Videos that are played via flash without hardware acceleration on PC have proper color as designed in After Effects.
When I switch on hardware acceleration, the color shifts, for example green becomes lighter, although grey values are OK. I have tried this by writing a small Flash programme for playing a movie; I wrote two programmes one with color management as described in the article "Color correction in Flash Player" http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/quickstart/color_correction_as3.html and another one without color management. In both cases I got the same color shift when hardware acceleration was turned on. From the result I concluded that color management does not work when hardware acceleration is on.
My question is: are there any plans to have color management for flash player with hardware acceleration (GPU) in the near future?
We need to play complex high definition movies streaming through a high speed local area network that need hardware acceleration to avoid stuttering.

Hi, LOL at my screen moniker. That's interesting that the FF beta has an Option for that. The only problem, is that I have heard that each browser must UNcheck the H.A. I'm sure you'll find out.
Hope that works at least for FF. Let me know if you have time.
I've been checking out Apple TV and Google TV. Just saved the links and some info, haven't had time to go further. I'd prefer Apple TV over Google tho.
I have a 55" HD Sony/Blu-ray Surround Sound Speakers, etc. I hooked up the VGA cable for Internet, and WOW on the Screen/Monitor!! Now I'm thinking about the iPhone 4 with VZ too, on their pre-order list for 2/3/11!
Hard to keep up with the Technology, moving faster today for some reason.
We are under the Snow & Ice warning, getting it now. Hope I don't lose power! If so, I'll be offline for sure.
If I find anything on that H.A. for IE, I'll let you know.
Thanks,

How do I get Active X control for flash player registered?

I have been having problems with flashplayer. I continue to get different messages when I try to download. The latest message is: Active X control for flash player could not be registered. What do I do to get the system working?

Looks to be a permission issue. Do you have administrator priveleges on the machine?
