What is the error that is returned when installing Flash Player. A screenshot (see How to post a screenshot in the forum‌) of the error is most helpful.

The error message is .... Adobe Flash Player: Installation failed. Not enough permissions to write to disk.

and then.... when trying to uninstall and try another install...You can’t open the application “Uninstall Flash Player OSX” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.

Hi swamib44517384,

I've seen a few posts on this issue recently, although, I haven't seen a definitive solution that works for everyone. You'll need to try a couple different solutions to see what works for you. Here are some related posts (from here and the Apple forums):

Please post back if any one of these worked for you, or if you're still having problems.

Thank you.

Hi I followed the video of Chris and had the same problems as the other guy. Nothing was coming on the list after my flags...

So here are the results of previous attempts at this update earlier in the day. I have tried 5-6 times and have several downloaded files for update....

Hi swamib44517384,

The contents of the install.log file for Jun 17 don't have any Flash Player content in them. Your second post is from previous installs, so this won't help with the current issue.

Did you view the links I posted previously, for users with similar error?
