False installation?

[mbenjamin1996]

I have downloaded and installed the latest version of flashplayer (I believe that would be 11.8 but not entirely sure?) at least 8 or 9 time on my computer, and my disk image says that it is running, yet when I try to play a video on the internet, it says I need to install the latest version and gives me the link to do so. Well I have done so many times and it is still not working. Why?

You CAN'T run it from the disk image. That's the installer only.
