So once I've downloaded and begun the installation process for Adobe Flash, the installer asks to close certain running programs.  However, while i am downloading adobe flash it is asking me to close com.apple.Webkit.Plugin.64.  I have no other applications open, and when i alt+tab the only two things running are finder and the adobe installer.  So, my question is, what it com.apple.Webkit.Plugin.64.

Thanks

Here is a screenshot of the installer.

    I had the same error/issue and this how I quickly fixed it:

    Step 1: Visit this site to download a previous version Archived Flash Player versions

    Step 2: Download version -> (Released 9/9/2014) Flash Player 15.0.0.152 (Win Firefox and Mac) (132 MB)    (though I believe any recent MAC version should do, this just worked for me)

    Step 3: Install the Flash player from Step 2.

    Step 4: Download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player (that wouldn't initially work)

    Step 5: Problem should be solved. You're just reverting your update and re-installing it to fix it.

      Thank you so much! I did everything and it installed. I was dying when I didn't know what was happening. Thanks!
