Problems Installing Adobe Flash Player 10

[Nathan Sokalski]

I am having trouble installing Adobe Flash Player 10. I have run the
uninstaller, rebooted, attempted to install again, and every other idea I
could think of. Several of the sites I found when searching for help
mentioned stuff about the Windows Registry be a cause of problems when
installing Flash, and there were links to several sites that offered
downloadable utilities that supposedly fix these. However, I would like to
know what exactly the problems in the Registry are, because I don't
completely trust free Registry utilities (not to mention some of them
weren't as "free" as they say they are). Can somebody help me here? Thanks.

Hello, I have always had problems installing from the Adobe site.
First download and save file from another site:
http://www.filehippo.com/download_flashplayer_ie/
Then remove old file from Add/Remove, remove any links,folders etc.
Install the file you downloaded and saved, by double clicking on the file.
This always works for me, hope it works for you.
take care.

Adobe Flash Player Installation Help

(1) Try installing the Windows Installer version.

Right-click these links, choose "save-as" and download it.

Adobe Flash Player 3 MB
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/ge...sing/win/install_flash_player_10_active_x.msi

Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller 205 KB
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player.exe


(2) Flash uses ActiveX, try resetting IE's Security Zones.

Unfortunately, it is still not working for me. I didn't mention it in any of
my previous postings, because I thought it was specific to the site I am
visiting that uses the Flash Player, but the error I recieve says:

Error: Unexpected call to method or property access.

Also, I thought I had the settings in IE correct, but maybe I missed one. If
possible, could you tell me the settings that are required to be set to a
certain value? Thanks.

Yes, I see the animated white f in the red square and the text "Adobe Flash

The Flash Player settings manager page

I visited the settings manager page, and all the settings looked correct. I
also cleared the list of sites I have visited, since I don't use a camera or
microphone anyway.

My security settings in IE are (and have been) what you mentioned. However,
I am still unable to get it to work. Any other ideas? Thanks.

Get "what" to work? It sounds as if you already have Flash installed. ; )
If it is the wrong version then see the tips from your first two responders.

The specific page/site that I am having trouble getting to work is the
following:

http://www.fisher-price.com/us/fun/games/countthescore/default.asp

When I initially go to the page, I recieve a dialog that says:


A Runtime Error has occurred.
Do you wish to Debug?

Line: 69
"Error: Unexpected call to method or property access."


After I click "No", it displays a screen with a link to and asking me if I
want to download and install Flash Player. After I click this link and do
the installation (which is entirely automatic, so I know I didn't do
anything wrong there), I go back to the page/site again after closing and
reopening the browser. It no longer asks me to install Flash Player, but it
still doesn't work. What am I missing? Thanks.

Does your Flash work here?
http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/
Yes, I see the animated white f in the red square and the text "Adobe
Flash
Player successfully installed."

The Flash Player settings manager page
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager02.html
I visited the settings manager page, and all the settings looked
correct. I
also cleared the list of sites I have visited, since I don't use a
camera or
microphone anyway.

My security settings in IE are (and have been) what you mentioned.
However,

I am still unable to get it to work. Any other ideas? Thanks.


Get "what" to work? It sounds as if you already have Flash installed.

If it is the wrong version then see the tips from your first two

Unfortunately, it is still not working for me. I didn't mention it in
any
of my previous postings, because I thought it was specific to the
site I
am visiting that uses the Flash Player, but the error I recieve says:

Error: Unexpected call to method or property access.

Also, I thought I had the settings in IE correct, but maybe I missed
one.
If possible, could you tell me the settings that are required to be
set
to a certain value? Thanks.

I am having trouble installing Adobe Flash Player 10. I have run
the
uninstaller, rebooted, attempted to install again, and every other
idea
I could think of. Several of the sites I found when searching for
help
mentioned stuff about the Windows Registry be a cause of problems
when
installing Flash, and there were links to several sites that
offered
downloadable utilities that supposedly fix these. However, I would
like
to know what exactly the problems in the Registry are, because I
don't
completely trust free Registry utilities (not to mention some of
them
weren't as "free" as they say they are). Can somebody help me here?
Thanks.

 

[Robert Aldwinckle]

The specific page/site that I am having trouble getting to work is the
following:

http://www.fisher-price.com/us/fun/games/countthescore/default.asp

When I initially go to the page, I recieve a dialog that says:


A Runtime Error has occurred.
Do you wish to Debug?

Line: 69
"Error: Unexpected call to method or property access."


After I click "No", it displays a screen with a link to and asking me if I
want to download and install Flash Player. After I click this link and do
the installation (which is entirely automatic, so I know I didn't do
anything wrong there), I go back to the page/site again after closing and
reopening the browser. It no longer asks me to install Flash Player, but it
still doesn't work.

What am I missing?

That it's probably a problem with Flash, not IE.
For example, all I get when I visit that site, since I don't use Flash is:

<quote>
Sorry, in order to view this page you need to install the
latest version of the free Macromedia Flash Player.
</quote>

Perhaps the problem *is* "the latest version"? ; )
Then you could try installing one of the earlier ones instead.
Again, though, you would probably get more informed help
from Adobe or other Flash users (ColTom2's suggestion.)


Good luck

Robert

I have tried installing earlier versions, after about two weeks of trying to
get Flash 10 to work, I tried Flash 9 and Flash 8. After dealing with them
for about another week, I searched Adobe's site for help that I could
contact (I had already spent hours searching the entire Web for online
help), but Adobe's site says that only online help is provided for Flash (I
couldn't even find a paid incident phone number or email address!)

I believe Adobe offers free email support(via what they call a "Web Case")
for Flash Player installation problems only, you might turn here next:

1. Go to the Adobe Support Portal:
http://www.adobe.com/go/supportportal/

2. When you get to the Support Portal page, click on the Button that says:
"Create an Account"

3. Once you've created an account with Adobe and you're logged in to that
Account, at the bottom of the page use the selector to select:

"Installation Help"

4. In the 'Choose product' category put a tick in the radial next to:

"Additional products"

5. From the selection menu select:

"Adobe Flash Player"

6. Now click the button that says "Continue"

You will taken to a page entitled:
"Create a support case"

7. Here you can type your support request and send it to Adobe



Good luck,

They have user forums which work similar to newsgroups.
Actually I guess they work similar to other vendors' forums
because there is occasional input from what appears to be
Adobe staff too.

Another option I think would be one of the Flash debug versions.
However, I don't know exactly what they do; I would just assume
that they may have better diagnostics for those who are interested
in getting better clues about their problem symptoms. ; )

Hello, I have always had problems installing from the Adobe site.
First download and save file from another site:http://www.filehippo.com/download_flashplayer_ie/
Then remove old file from Add/Remove, remove any links,folders etc.
Install the file you downloaded and saved, by double clicking on the file..
This always works for me, hope it works for you.
take care.
beamish.

Thanks for this suggestion. For hours I have done everything in the
book to get Adobe 10 to install on IE with no luck. I came across your
suggestion, tried it and it worked LIKE A CHARM. Many Thanks for the
post.and a successful, simple solution.
