Hi chinju3458,
This is the Installing Flash Player forums, not the Design and Web Premium forums. I don't work on those products, but since CS6 has been replaced with CC I think there's only the CC forums now. I would start with Downloading, Installing, Setting Up. Another option I found was Web design.

Hi chinju3458,
I understand what you want to do. Unfortunately, this isn't the forum for it. The staff on this forum have Flash Player expertise, not CS6 expertise. Other users who visit this forum either have Install Flash Player issues or are helping other users with Flash Player issues. The users of this thread aren't the best folks to assist you. The closest product forum to your issue is the CC install forum, not Flash Player forum. The installers for both products are completely different.

Hi shawn56352753, donan43189950‌, and as43286589
I apologize for not branching the CS6 post to a new thread. Normally we would move issues like this to the appropriate forum, but I wasn't sure of the appropriate form and wrongly assumed the OP would have posted to one of the more appropriate forums instead of posting back here. Next time I'll do the right thing and branch out the off-topic post.
You're using the online installer that downloads and installs Flash Player silently in the background. The 'connection error' message usually means a connection is too slow and the background downloading of the Flash Player installer is failing. I've seen several posts on this issue over the last few days and we'd like to clearly identify this issue.
To accurately identify the issue, and help us improve the online installer experience, we would really appreciate it if you could do the following for us:
In the mean time, the offline installer posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows page in the 'Still having problems' section should work for you.
Thank you in advance.

Hi pinklyn38,
Do you have a Service Pack installed on your XP system? If so, which one? You can obtain this by doing the following:

I had same problem try Flash Player install problem‌ it may help.
If it still does not work and your on XP SP2 or lower the installer will fail to get main download file. Confirm this by entering "%temp%\Adobe_ADMLogs" in windows explorer and look in "Adobe_GDE.log" and at the last error that looks like:
The file to be downloaded is https://fpdownload...
...
The windows error code is - 12175
Will tell you the file that is not downloading. If you put full URL that is in the log in the Firefox browser and download and run that file it will update flash player.
