Installing Flash player fails AGAIN on Win 7

[rovf]

Recently I had discussed here a problem with installing Flash Player on 32-Bit Windows 7, which was solved by help in this forum.

Now I had a similar problem with 64-Bit Windows 7 with Flash Player for Mozilla. Installation just said that it failed, without giving further explanation.

Following the advice I got in http://forums.adobe.com/message/3919367#3919367, I downloaded an installer explicitly from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/alternates/.

This website redirected me to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/, from where I downloaded http://aihdownload.adobe.com/bin/install_flashplayer11x64_mssd_aih.exe.

Running this program went on for about 20 minutes, and finally resulted in the error message: "Installation encountered errors: Actionlist not found".

What else can I do to install flash player?

you will want to try the direct download links from this FAQ page: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3952360

since the auto downloader fails every time. direct downloads really is your ownly option. i have forgotten my AX (IE version) link, but for firefox and other browser varients, here is the direct dl link: http://aihdownload.adobe.com.../install_flashplayer11x64_mssd_aih.exe

That is not a direct download link; it's a download helper stub.  In fact this is an old Flash Player link that is not even working any more.  I have no idea why you would want to post this in a more than two years old topic...
