Offline installer? You mean like download the file, then close the browser, then run it? That's what I've done about 10 times now. Adobe is oversimplified and no matter how much I search, it still brings me back to the same darn program which downloads flashplayer18_ha_install.exe If you have a link for another file to download, please provide it! Until then, you have NOT answered this question, and score no points.

Silly? I didn't say we WANTED to shut down the department (that IS silly). I said the updated FORCED the department to shut down because they could not work because the software crashed because it was BUGGY and we had to work with Adobe for 2 days to get it patched and working! Instead of calling people silly, why don't you take some training in reading comprehension. They used to teach that (and test it) in schools. I understand now you even get in college without that ability.

Well, now tried three times. Download the file, then open it. Creates window titled something like "download" which is white, nothing in it, just sits there. Tried to refresh the box and it open INTERNET EXPLORER (have NEVER run that program on this computer, in 3 years!!! I use Firefox!!!) In the download folder, the .exe file is gone. It's not in trash, either. Did it several times. No , it's not my antivirus. Thanks Adobe for your usual buggy buggy code! Been dealing with you and your buggy code since 1995 - every upgrade you released, you shut down my graphics department for 2 days!

Firefox won't close and always a flashplayer logo in my taskbar - have LATEST everything. Sick of your buggy buggy software, Adobe!!! Since the 1990's been dealing with your arrogant programming strategy of ignoring other software and letting the users just "deal with it". I mourn for MacroMedia and hope for your demise as a company!! next stop, TWITTER TWITTER TWITTER to bash Adobe! power to the people!!!

Over 2500 views of this thread, and no reply from Adobe! (and no surprise to me) My experience with this company goes back to the 90's, when my graphic arts department used to collapse in a puddle of stress and unproductivity every time a new upgrade from Photoshop was installed (and crashed). The day I heard they bought MacroMedia (flash), I almost cried! My conclusion is that they have such a legacy of sloppy code, with little regard to other software compatibility, that they CANNOT fix the problem with AcroRd32.exe, without going back to the drawing board and starting over with best practice and doing it right. Well, been waiting 2 decades for that to happen, and it's not going to happen, ever!! That is why no answer, and why this problem persists through each upgrade. Reader 7 had this problem, maybe even earlier.

P.S. Can't open it in IE or Firefox. And by what wild form of imagination does this forum software judge this question to be "Possibly Answered"?

Tried deleting those directories, also ran CCcleaner to remove ALL cache files. Still can't open global settings manager - ANY screens. I was trying to block an annoying popup ad on a site that I'd already closed about 70 times in the past hour. I tried everything. In I.E. it worked by not being a trusted site. But in Firefox, the ONLY thing that worked was using Settings Manager to block all storage of 3rd party websites. Only NOW, I can never again access my flashplayer settings!!! It's a catch-22. Having been an IT professional since 1980, and seen so much over the years, my honest opinion is that Adobe Flash Player's implementation sucks!
