adobe flash player will not update

I have tried several times to download and install the new version of 17 something , it downloads a biniary file, when i try to istall it the download window just stays blank, when i close it out , the download disappears, and another window opens, i can't tell you what that is.

Is there a 3d effect with this and may not be compatible?

Only time i use it is if there is a video that relates to it.

Where are you getting the download from? Which browser are you updating?

What version number are you downloading? The current version is 17.0.0.188

I just tried your link, same thing happens

[Midknyte]

Which Adobe site did you go to? Did you go to the one in my link or the general site? My link is to the distribution site.

You need to install the version for plugin browsers.
http://download.macromedia.com/get/f..._17_plugin.exe

If that still doesn't work, do a complete uninstall and reinstall.

Nothing like going to the Vir Dr on sunday night. First time their notification never installed, apparently sending the wrong link they were?

tks

II got another notice of update available for adobe flash, on vista 32, ff 38.0.5

it appears there is a version 18 adobe bflash player, , i had the same problem there i had here it was a binary file, it finally shower as a binary exe, but i still got the white blank installer window, when i cancelled it the window closed the download file disappeared

on both systems i have 17.0..0.188

i can;t believe the same problem on 2 different system

[Midknyte]

So do the same thing I told you last time. The distribution site has the updated links.

i tried those from the previous message, but the did not work, some how i did it on win 7 and it finally ntook, can't remember what i did

i'll boot the other later see if these work now, last night that link opened just like it did from adobe

what is the macromedia connection,, that is a bug on cable preventing burning on stand alones on some channels

That's why you need to document when you fix things.

Bug? I don't know what you mean. What does Flash have to do with cable TV?

Well it's the same version that was there before, unless there was a patch to it.

There really isn't much i can do about it, when the links are sent to me as directed to the updates, there isn't much i can document about it. Maybe you better contact them and ask them why their links don't work and what you send does? This is on win 7 i haven't got to vista yet.

Macromedia, leaves a bad taste in my mouth and memory, i have tried to avoid-it, what it has to do with cable vs pc is blocking and tracking that i have experienced,

I did not do any thing different except these links had an installer exe in stead of a binary???????????

I don't have the answer

[egdufwollamhsram1851]

You better go to work for Adobe, 18 installed on Vista, have no clue why adobe's site doesn't work for me????????

[Midknyte]

Did you uninstall Flash completely like I said in post #4? Sounds like something got corrupted. Hard to say, since I can't duplicate your error.

I wouldn't work for Macromedia. I'd rather work for Google or something.

[egdufwollamhsram1851]

No i did not, i' have not had an issue with them for quire some time, these last 2 notifications how ever different story

[egdufwollamhsram1851]

No scripting may have been the culprit

[Midknyte]

You mean the NoScript addon?
