How to install Flash Player if it is Simulink (Matlab) protected?

[pablovazjus]

I can't install FlashPlayer in my iMac because it is simulink protected and Matlab opens every time I tried to install the new version. How can this problem be solved?

Hey,

I had the same problem (thats how I was this), found on another site that if you just go into your downloads folder and rename the file it'll open up the installer instead of Matlab, so I thought I'd share. The file should currently have the extension ".mdlp", just delete that extension and make it a ".dmg"

Hopefully that does it for you as well.

Great! What an easy solution in front my eyes! I tried your suggestion and it works perfectly! Thanks so much!
