Adobe Flash Player Won't Install :(

[SuperXanther]

Hi all,

I have been having trouble trying to install Adobe Flash Player on my new computer lately. The download works fine, the installer runs but after allowing the installer to modify my computer the installer just displays a grey window with no text or anything. when I click X at the top right, it doesn't close and I have to close it via Task Manager.

Anyone know wtf is happening?

Since one of the posts seems to be getting more attention(in a good way) here, I will be adding it to this post so users can try it first.

Had the exact same trouble. Spent days looking for solutions all over the web. None worked. The solution is actually buried in one of the above answers. Nowhere else does it tell you to download the installer directly. Here you go: http/download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player.exe

I tried alchemist11's solution as well and it didn't work for me either. The installation window did pop up and said it finished but when I checked I saw I still had the same version. I finally searched for the Adobe Flash player in my start menu and opened the file from there. That worked for me.

To anyone asking me, Electricjohn, about this re-occurring Adobe Flash Player update problem: The answers posted by alchemist11 cured my problem. I see that this is not working for everyone. Because alchemist11's answer solved my problem, I did not research any further.
Good Luck.

Thank you! After weeks of frustration and searching, your link did the trick in 90 seconds! Thanks! I had tried everything I knew to do, including disabling firewalls and security/malware programs and doing a system restore. I had spent quite a number of hours on this issue and found absolutely NO help on the adobe website. I greatly appreciate your tip!

Thank you Alchemist! Very easy to install and works. I too was having trouble and nothing was working. Thanks a lot!
