Flash Player will download, but won't install.

[FrustratedKita]

I uninstalled Flash Player with Adobe's Uninstaller, and attempted to reinstall Flash Player. The .exe downloads just fine, but when I run it, it gives me this error message:

ABORT: Assertion failed (WebBrowser -> WebBrowserObject != NULL)

Unable to embed web browser    (.\ie\iewebbrowser.c/311)

I use Windows 7, FireFox 32, and am trying to install the latest version of Flash. What is the problem?

Please try the offline installer using the direct download links here:

That worked, but I figured out later, while fixing something else, that the error was coming from the fact that I had uninstalled Internet Explorer months before I tried to do this.

Ah.  There's a separate team that builds the installer, so I'm not super familiar with the internals, but I'm thinking that either they're embedding a WebView object that depends on IE in the Installer UI, or Internet Explorer is still the "default" system on your machine, even though it's uninstalled.  We do launch the default browser at the end of he install process (which is also weird, but it's what we do).

I think it might be the first one, as apposed to the latter, which would be an interesting way of handling things.

Anyways, thanks!

Heh, Interesting is a kind description.  It's actually what we do.  We don't know what browser the installer was spawned from, so we just fire up your default at the end of the installation process.

I was unable to see any kind of Flash content on this page when inspecting the page source.

I would ensure that your server is serving the correct mime-type for .swf files (application/x-shockwave-flash), and that you were using a recommended method for embedding the SWF into the page, like SWFObject: swfobject - SWFObject is an easy-to-use and standards-friendly method to embed Flash content, which ...
