Actually, the MSI install worked as it should (15 seconds or so) with Trend Unloaded. My initial install without Trend had failed but the install failure dialog was hidden behind other windows. I tried again and it still failed. Then I ran your uninstall_flash_player.exe to clean it up and the MSI install ran fine the next time. I can't unload Trend from the remaining installations I have, but would think that it's Trend with the issue. I've queued up the remaining installations so they'll be done soon enough. ... View more

I ran the EXE installer on the same system, but my MSI installs are called from a CMD file that creates a new log with each run rather than appending. I didn't send one from the EXE install because it worked fine. We're currently using Trend Micro OfficeScan 11.0.6125. This is the same version we've been using before this Flash release. Unloading Trend Micro OfficeScan makes no difference in the Flash ActiveX MSI installation time. ... View more

Here are the files I sent previously. Shared Files - Acrobat.com As far as a non-filtered log, I'm waiting for word back from our security team to see if I can share that. It will be big considering the Flash install takes about 6 minutes and (thanks to Trend Micro) ProcMon is capturing 1.4 million events a minute with an idle system. Since the install eventually finishes successfully, I have been deploying it with the delay and have pushed it to over 300 computers. I'm surprised to not see more people having the issue while researching this. ... View more

This is the first time I recall having this issue I have reproduced this on 3 laptops with the same build (image). Different Dell Latitudes with 8GB RAM and SSD No, the ActiveX EXE installer did not pause for 5 minutes, it took about 20 seconds to launch and then about a minute to complete. Filtered Procmon log of a Flash ActiveX .MSI install: Adobe Flash Player Distribution | Adobe I have been pushing Flash using SCCM and now Dell/Quest KACE without much trouble to 700+ computers over many versions. As I mentioned in my original post, every once in a while a version just doesn't play nice, but it's been smooth sailing since version 18 or 19. Thanks. ... View more

Maria, I'm using the offline .msi installer. I can't share the link because it's private, but supplied by Adobe in the Runtime Software Distribution License Agreement. Here is the link to my latest log files. [Content deleted by Mod at subsequent user request] ... View more

I have a similar problem installing Flash 24.0.0.194 on Windows 7 64-bit Enterprise. Both ActiveX and NPAPI versions install to approximately 50% in about 2 seconds (determined 50% using interactive install) and then hang at 50% for 5 to 6 minutes then eventually complete successfully. I started with my usual silent install script, then tried interactive by clicking on the .msi files. I've done this several times now with the same results. Outcome is the same whether a previous version is installed or uninstalled before running the new install. NPAPI install: InstallPlugin_20_0_0_194.exe *32 runs at 0 to 2% CPU during the 5 minute pause, then InstallFlashPlayer.exe kicks in in the end  before the install completes. ActiveX install: InstallAX_24_0_0_194.exe *32  runs at 0 to 2% CPU during the 5 minute pause, then InstallFlashPlayer.exe kicks in in the end  before the install completes. I've downloaded the .msi files from the link provided in the Runtime Software Distribution License Agreement. I will send the log files if requested, but I get the feeling a fixed version will be available soon. Every so many releases of Flash the installer is just crapped up. Thank you. ... View more
