I have tried over & over to install Flash but it always stops installing at 47%. Every time its 47

`````````No matter what I do its lts always 47%. If I try it with the additionals ie:Chrome, with my security on or off. But I still was able to watch things on computer that need it, vids & utube. Now I can't all of a sudden. SO I tried again. I uninstalled all my other try;s that were there but still nothing. I have IE 7.

Hi "I need help, lol",

From my experience, when the download hang half way, it probably has something to do with a firewall not allowing the Adobe updater to connect to the servers.  Here's what you can do:

1.  I suggest you do a clean install. http://forums.adobe.com/message/4041846#4041846

     - Make sure to delete all the files/folders in step 4.

2. Now download the latest flash player zip - Flash Player 11.8.800.94

     - go into 11_8_r800_94 and run flashplayer11_8r800_94_win.exe and flashplayer11_8r800_94_winax.exe.

3. Don't forget to disable the ActiveX filtering - http://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968

This is a bit more than my computer experience. I did turn off my fire wall & my internet security. I am going to try what you wrote. That long 11_8 etc is something I should type into my search? Thanks.

Try this instead:

Progress bar hangs during download / Unable to connect to server / Unable to download metafile

Reason: The Flash Player installer sometimes has trouble working in some firewall proxy server environments.

Workaround: Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by clicking one of the following links.

Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)

Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
