Hello everyone, im here because im having a Certain problem with the Installation of Flash Player. The thing is. The Downloading Works like a charm. But once it shifts into the Installing Phase. It stops midway(Between 60%-80% progress) And tells me I do not have enough Permission To install Flash. Now, I read the Forums. I went through the possible problems and I tried running it as Admin. But.. It just Won't work. Aaaaand Since Firefox Somewhat Requires it. Well... I'd like Flash player to fully install itself on my computer so I don't have any problems !
Nonetheless.. Thank you for reading My possibly One amongst Many of these Pleas for help, but Im truly in need of it. This is just starting to get on my nerves xD;
There appears to be a permissions issues with the files, and the FlashInstall.log file would tell me that, but since you can't get to it, let's try to generate a different log file. Please do the following:

I had similar problems trying to get Flash Player to load and then to work on my MBP. I just tried several different combinations of downloading with Safari. Better yet navigate to Adobe.com with Safari, find the Flash Player download page and try it from Adobe, if it doesnt work from Adobe's page then its probably somthing with OSX. Apple tries to protect its computers/users from being hacked and it could be that FireFox hasnt included a critical line of code that the Apple OS requires, who knows, try different ways till you hit on a combination that works. Good luck.

Your welcome. Its issues like this that directed me to Apple products in the first place. I swopped over to Apple about 6 years ago and Ive never looked back.
Still I think it could be that your not getting a good download or somthing, try using the resident browser, go to Adobe's page and download Flash Player that way, who knows, it might work, what will you lose?

Hello,
Please post the FlashInstall.log file from C:windows\System32\Macromed\Flash. If you have a 64-bit OS, also post the same file from C:\Windows\SysWow64\Macromed\Flash. See How to share a document to upload the files.
Thank you.

What does "it doesn't let me Open it' mean? Are you not able to open the \Macromed\Flash directory?

Im sorry, I didn,t quite specify it. By "It doesn't let me open it" I mean The .log File. I can get into \Macromed\Flash Directory, and see what is inside of it. But I cannot access the FlashInstall.log. and again. Nor put it on Acrobat.

Essentially, the permissions on the Flash Player directory and/or files installed that need to be replaced have been modified (most likely by some third party software) and this is resulting in the permissions error you are seeing
Do you have anti-malware/virus software running? If so, can you disable it and try running the installer again? If you get the same error you can try following the instructions here, How do I fix Windows permission problems with Flash Player?, to reset the permissions.

Alas, Apparently It still Did not Let me get any further than What I Said in my original Post.
ALTHOUGH. I did get something new that I did not last time. I could choose my option to decide if I should be notified, Always update it, never update it. Soooo since in my research I saw I needed -that- to be at "Always Update it" I checked that. But It just stopped in the 70% Region Like My original Post. I only have Windows Defender as an... Anti-malware/Virus Software, I disabled the Real time protection which should disable it. Before. And just now. Which still did not let me progress any further.

Hi Fhufuu,
Can you try again to post the FlashInstall.log file? This file will provide more detailed information on what is happening and will help troubleshoot why installation if failing.
Thank you.

I am having the same problem.....have done everything as above and so much more. Have taken ownership, run as admin, deleted everything and tried fresh install, changed permissions......several times. What am I missing?
Im not as literate as the OP, so no idea how to take screen shot, among other things.
Please resolve this issue and post results. I will follow ideas given to Fhufuu.

Hi Fhufuu,
Sorry, I didn't realize you had a 64-bit OS. Please also post the FlashInstall file from C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash.
When was the last time you successfully installed Flash Player? Flash Player writes to the log file every time it's installed or uninstalled, and the last time the log file you provided was written to was June 17, 2013 when 11.7.700.224 was installed.
Also, since you were able to get a bit further with the last install attempt, can you run the online installer in debug mode again and post that log file.
Thank you.
