Why does Adobe release a Flash install that hangs?

[edgard-jcUs2v]

I have spent 90 minutes on this.

First Adobe disables its previous Flash player in Safari and Firefox.

Then it releases an installer that apparently requires hacker-level expertise

to trick into installing.

I have read Adobe's instructions (Flash Player Help) and tried most of the tips suggested in this forum.

My computer and OS are compatible.

I deinstalled Flash 11 and downloaded the latest version 12.0.0.44.

Safari Allow Other Plugins is enabled.

Firefox Network cache is 50 Mb

I followed Mike M's instructions on How to Perform a Clean Install.

Neither the Safari nor the Firefox install works. Hangs at 95% like other users have reported.

I can install other apps no problem so it is not Intego Virus Barrier's fault.

Thanks.

OK. I found a fix for OSX. This is a different Mike M clean install text.

Use the "Manual Install" mode. Control-click on Install Adobe Flash Player.app

"In the Contents/Resources folder, you’ll find a file named Adobe Flash Player.pkg. Double click it"

That worked.

Can't Adobe fix this at the factory?

Thanks Mike M!
