cannot install flash after closing all IE

Jun 13, 2012 5:07 AM

I always got the window with message to close IE to continue with installation, but after closing all IE, the installation did not start automatically and installation never completes, why?

 

I have unchecked ActiveX Filtering, and Click Run without permisson on Internet Options, Scripting Enabled, and there are no open files and folders, but installation cannot be completed, why?

 

I am using IE9 and Windows Vista Business.

    I don't know what if Flash browser pluggin. Today I tried to install Flash again, and it is installed but the program cannot be found on my program list on C drive. It only appears in the Control Panel, Programs and Features and Uninstall Program. Obviously I don't want to uninstall it, but when I tried to visit Youtube, it asks me to install Flash again, and I don't know what is happening.

     

    I have uninstalled many many times with Control Panel and downloading the Uninstaller from Adobe, and then install probably from Adobe website. The "Finish" and "Done" buttons appeared, but Flash is no where to be found on C drive and all websites that requrie Flash wanted me to download Flash again. Does anyone know what is happening?

    It sounds like you do not have the Flash pluggin installed on your Web browser.... Internet Explorer, Firefox, or whichever you are using.

    The browser pluggin is different from the actual Flash CS5 or whichever version you may have.

    The browser pluggin will NOT show up in any program list, it is simply an add-on to the browser.

    You can check to see if and/which version of the "Shockwave Flash Object" is installed in your browser ... here's how.

    From the main browser menu, choose "Tools", then "Manage Add-ons" (in Internet Explorer), or "Add-ons" in the Firefox menu. This will list all the Web browser pluggins. Look for the "Shockwave Flash Object".

    Again, the Flash program (CS5.5 for example) is NOT used to download and play videos from YouTube or other Web sites. That is done by a Web browser pluggin.

    or install an older, more stable version of the Flash player:
