I attempted to install the FlashPlayer 11 update today and the installer crashes during the installation. I am using Mac OS X 10.8.5 and Safari 6.0.5. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall a fresh installation of FlashPlayer but with the same end result the installer crashes just a few percentage points into the install process.

Please advise?

No can do... Safari is coded by Mac to not allow reversions of plugins. You'll end up with "Blocked plugin" errors and then you won't be able to update either.

Try resetting Safari

I fixed this issue restoring /mach_kernel (which was missing in my MacOS installation) and reinstalling Flash.

Thanks to all on the thread for the solution.

I have no recollection of deleting the "mach_kernal" file from the root level of my system, but evidently I did! SO..., I downloaded Mt. Lion 10.8.5 and did a reinstall and now Flash 11.9 installs without a hitch. For those who are having this issue, just spend the time to download the 4+ Gb Mt. Lion installer and re-install. OR you can wait a week or two and purchase Mavericks!!!
