cannot install flash player

[sirabq]

windows 7 starter

firefox 34.0.5

I downloaded install_flashplayer16x32_mssd_aaa_aih.exe, but when I run it, it just crashes.

I get:

Windows allows me to close the program, or check for solution and close the program. This seems to be:

WerFault.exe

Checking for a solution seems to do nothing.

Download and run the offline installers:

• Flash Player for Internet Exporer - ActiveX
• Flash Player for Firefox - NPAPI

Yes this works.

My only question is why it is so hard to find the offline installers?

Several times it told me I was going to download a 17.2MB file, but only gave

me the stupid nonworking 1MB stub instead.

It's really not that hard:

1. the download links are published several times a day here in this forum
2. it is also permanently in http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#main-pars_tex... as well as several other places

That's not the point. The thing is that there should be an option for online or offline installation in the download page, we should not have to look for the offline version anywhere else than there. And for people who doesn't know about this forum it is difficult to find.

I totally agree.  The offline installer is too difficult to find.

[gregd121856]

And the link was still pointing to an older version until just recently.  It was very frustrating.

Does anyone know if there's an alternative for flashplayer? some freeware or anyrhing? Just sayin'
