i have been trying to install this flash player on safari as i would prefer to use it but lately flash and java are forcing me to use google chrome
Anyway i have read these forums and i have cleared my cookies, done the preferences, etc etc. I tried to install java as well and got the same reply .
attached is a photo after i double click the install adobe file from my downloads, it opens up and the bar fills up and then goes to this
does anyone have any advice for this?
thank you

Hi,
Please specify the OS version that you are using.
Also, it's possible the error mounting the DMG is related to the 10.11.5 update. Please see Cannot load DMG files after installing 10.11.5 | Apple Support Communities. A number of people are getting the same error, with various software, when mounting the DMG If none of the suggestions in that forum work for you, contact Apple Support for assistance.
As an alternative, you can also try using the offline installer posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac page, in the 'Still having problems' section.

You can copy and paste pretty good @divya_1993 that answer was the first hit in my answer of results I provided
error message "wrong type for socket" when installing flash player.
Thanks for re-iterating what I said
Great copy/paste job!

Thanks for the link. so it seems to be more of an apple issue then? i don't really want to go into safe mode and go into all that if i don't need too. I guess i can just use chrome until apple fixes it. From what i read it seems like you have to start it up in safe mode and change the software versions? too much for me.
thanks for your help though.

it was also the same when i tried to update the java, as i heard it would be smart to try java and then flash. it looks like a DMG thing.
