My OS is Vista and my my browser is Firefox. When the dialog box initially appears that says save file everything's fine but when I try to double click the file nothing happens. I have uninstalled my previous version because it was skipping too much. and I've tried disabling my anti-malware and nothing helps. Any suggestions?

Hi nicholasf56993606,

Please provide following information:

OS you are using?
Browser you are using.
Issue you are encountering.

Posting a screenshot of the issue will be helpful.

To download and install Flash Player please go to Adobe Flash Player Install for all versions page.

Thanks!

I had the same problem with the latest Flash version and eventually figured out the solution. Right click on the install file in the download location, click on "Properties", and then go down to where it says "Unblock" and click that. I haven't had this issue with other executable files, only with this latest installer from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ within Firefox.

Sounds like there is some weird issue with the download going on. I'd try downloading the offline installer and seeing if that will run. Try this link first: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player.exe

If that doesn't work, then try:

If this fixes the issue, please mark this answer as 'correct' so I can receive credit Let me know if this works! If not, I've got a few other ideas.
