Trouble installing flash on OS X 10.9.5

Report · Oct 01, 2014

I downloaded the installer for Safari, but after it starts installing (at about 75%), it says "error installing update" or something like that.

I closed all browser windows (and other applications for that matter).

Flash is enabled in Safari (java etc. enabled).

I performed a clean install of flash (after downloading the uninstall app).

And then I downloaded the flash player directly from the help site.

Nothing worked.

I never had issues with flash before.

What to do?

First, download the offline installer from the direct download links here:

Once they're downloaded, reboot your machine.

Before you do anything else, run the installer you downloaded.

If it's still stuck, do you have any anti-virus/anti-malware software running on your computer?
