I have some real odd problems with flash

Report · Aug 12, 2011

Right, I have sort of had two problems with adobe flash player 10, so bare with me, I need to tell you the ‘back story’ before I reach my current issue:

Back story; latest version of flash been running normally for a while until it tries to update. When it wants to update it goes to 100% completion then comes up with a message saying ‘Unable to complete because Adobe Flash Native Control Panel is open. Please close the Adobe Flash Native Control Panel and please try again‘

After this, my pc and adobe website (and other websites) will report that I have no flash. At all. So I try to update/install/uninstall again (after rebooting computer each time obviously) - and no luck. I either got a message like the one above or this one: ‘The Flash Player Settings Manager is currently open. Please close the Flash Player Settings Manager and try again’.

So I find that I have no flash, yet I have flash and I can’t upgrade, install or uninstall. I have found a solution to this in other forums by going into my System32 folder on my C drive and using the freeware program ‘Unlocker’ to delete the file ‘C:\WINDOWS\system32\FlashPlayerCPLApp.cpl ‘upon restarting. After that I can uninstall flash properly and reinstall to the latest version.

I’ve had to do this twice now, after each attempted ‘update ‘and each time I have to completely uninstall flash in the way stated above and then reinstall it properly.

So that is the first issue- now to my current problem:

After doing the following I tried to install the latest flash from adobe’s website...but my computer seems to ‘eat’ the executable file and then not actually install the latest flash. It downloads and opens fine but as soon as it starts to install, the actual executable file vanishes. It doesn’t go anywhere, not the recycle bin; it just...vanishes. Then nothing happens. According to Task manager, there is an ‘Install_flashplayer’ in the background using 8000 k or so memory and seeming doing something, but it’s not on screen and it does...nothing. I’ve waited almost a good hour and nothing happens despite memory usage dipping a bit.

So first problem of mine is this Adobe ‘Flash Native Control Panel ‘and ‘Flash Player Settings Manager’ seems to be causing problems with my flash every time it needs to update (and subsequently makes adobe flash player thins it Schrödinger’s cat being in a state of installed and uninstalled). I want to know how to stop thins form happening each time I need to update. I can't seem to find any information on how to actually 'close' these programs.

My second is getting my PC to actually install the latest version of flash as opposed to eat it and make it a ghost program like my PC is pacman and the excitable file is a blue ghost.

I currently have Flash player 10,3,183,5 installed and it is working fine (until the investable update issue is bound to come along).

My system is Vista 32-bit.

My main web browser is firefox 3.6.18

Ask me if you need more specs, and sorry for the bad analogies.

Next time, can you try to download the installers from this post: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/889580

I''ve already done that. Just tried it again for a test and I get my ‘Unable to complete because Adobe Flash Native Control Panel is open. Please close the Adobe Flash Native Control Panel and please try again‘ error. So while the PC didn't 'eat' this installation, my first problem stops me from insatlling anything again.

In your first post you wrote that you used Unlocker to delete FlashPlayerCPLApp.cpl - are you again unable to delete that normally?

This would indicate why you get that message (the installer is unable to delete that applet, and therefore "thinks" it is open).

Yeah, I have to each time unlock that file and restart in order to delete it and thus uninstall the old flash player and install a new version. This happens every time it wants to update though, which can be pretty frequent. Is there a way to get around this issue happening each time?

Thank you for the input! I’ve been away so I didn't get a chance to post it to the bug forums, but it seems it's already there. I shall vote and hopefully this will be resolved.

We're trying to get to the bottom of this problem. Would you mind posting the contents of your FlashInstall.log so we could see what's going on with the installer?

Where do I find the Flash Player installation log on Windows?

Thanks,

Chris
