Unable to Update Flash Player

[Eric43]

Hi

I have a Notebook running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and am having a problem trying to update my Flash Player Version 14.0.0.145 to the latest version 14.0.0.146.The installation hangs on the installation window which is just black and blank.

I have not had any problems in the past in updating this application - I even uninstalled the installed version and then tried to install the latest one but it still hangs and I had to do a system restore to regain my previous version.

Are there any other solutions that I might try to enable me to install this latest version?

Try using the offline installers (as long as they are still available):

• Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
• Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

Thanks, that seems to have done the trick.  I would be interested in obtaining the link to the download site as the one you provided went immediately to a download.  This would be helpful for future problems.

The links are currently published at http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#main-pars_tex... but I am told that they will soon disappear, and no more direct download links will be available to the public.

Thanks anyway.
