Flash Drive Install

[morerootbeer]

Can't complete Flash Drive install...I get through all the steps, then stops after Password input. I have Mac OS 10.9.2 and am using Firefox as my browser. Everything seems to go smooth, until after I input my computer password and double click the Install Flash Player icon...then nothing happens. Help

Download the FULL offline installer: Flash Player 12.0.0.70 (Mac OS X)

Save it and quit your browser.

Double click the download to mount the DMG - DO NOT RUN the installer!

Right click the installer and "Show Package Contents".

In Contents/Resources, double click the Adobe Flash Player.pkg

A "COCOA" installer will open. Folow the instructions to install it.

Obviously…I should clean up or uninstall any Flash Drive’s I have on my computer?

Not necessary. The COCOA installer will overwrite any existing files.

Mike,

Got as far as single clicking (I’m on Mac) the flash player icon and went to File and there was no “Show Package Content” on the drop down list.

Ctrl+click if you haven't a two (or three) button mouse.

Mike,

I’m downloading or attempting to download this flash player while in Brazil. So far the only step that I am not able to complete is trying to get to the “Show Contents Package” I’ve attempted to also use your control + click method (I am on a Macbook Pro) but still now “Show Contents Package” line. I am sending you screenshots of when I do the control+click method and also the highlighting of the Flash Player icon and going to the drop down menu under file. So far your info has been very helpful and I’m hoping to get over this hurdle.

Best,

Aldric

MacBook - two fingers simultaneously = right click

[morerootbeer]

Yes…did that earlier…still can’t get to the opening of the package lines…as you can see from the screensavers.

[C_F_McBlob]

Nope, I can't see them. If you reply from email, attachments and pictures don't appear here in the foum.

Sorry…getting frustrating…thinking about buying the app Pacifist 3.2.5 to open the Flash Drive into a Package form.

[C_F_McBlob · Accepted solution]

Tell you what.

Here's JUST the package. Adobe Flash Player.pkg

"Download Linked File as" and save that.

Quit Safari and double click it to run the Cocoa installer.
