Question

Cannot download Flash Player 10

I have been unable to download the latest flash player, so half of my websites no longer work. I get the error "Cannot download dll". I have called adobe customer service twice, and they have been unable to help. They gave me a url to download it www.adobe.com/go/full_flashplayer_win_msi/ but this gives me the error "Error 2330 C/Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash Get last error: 1392" and will not install. I was told to try the forum as customer service could not help and there is no techical support.

I am using Windows Vista and IE 7. I have java installed.

Any help would be appreciated!!

    Something has clearly gone horribly wrong with the new download.

    I'm THOROUGHLY annoyed. I need to access some of the sites several times a day, for projects serving others, I've tried and tried to reinstall this, I've googled for patches, and none of it is helping.

    Every time I try to download the programme in the usual way, it just says it is uninstalling it. It doesn't seem to install the new programme at all.

    I'd really appreciate Adobe doing something to rectify this across the board as soon a possible.

    What we need here is you to do one of two things..
    1. provide some technical detail about your issue that we can use to make suggestions
    or
    2. Open a support case webcase and let an agent assist

    Flash Player technical support is available via webcase only at:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/

    There is no phone support for Flash Player.

    I have opened a trouble ticket. I don't consider a couple of messages to be spam. Based on other forums and this one, this is certainly not an isolated problem. If as you say there have been millions of successful download (and yes, it downloaded successfully for me 9 times and appears to install correctly 9 times, but failed to work 9 times) even a 5% rate of problems would be in the neighborhood of 250,000 problems. Off line I have talked to several people that have also had problems with Flash 10 not working.

    dc20001, was it really necessary to spam every post? Consider that there are millions of successful downloads already, and a pretty small number of failures. And millions of successful vista installs. Open a case as I suggested on another thread.

    HIGHLY recommend that you do not attempt upgrade. I have followed all the suggested install methods and now have no functioning flash player in Firefox or Chrome. It DOES NOT work with Vista.

    You do not need to delete any previous versions. The Flash Player 10 install does that for you.

    If we update Flash Player you'll get a notice that an update is available. That update isn't automatic, but its fairly seamless.

    Assuming you are in the administrator account, first check Add/Remove Programs to see if you have Adobe or Macromedia Flash installed. If yes uninstall themusing the new Uninstaller provided by Adobe and reboot some computers require a reboot to completely uninstall programs.Then try to download the Flash player again from the following site:www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/.However, it has been reported that some people are having issues downloading the full version directly from Adobe. If that is the case, you may want to try to download it as a standalone.www.softwarepatch.com/internet/fl. Flash Player is not a program per se. It is a plug-in to your web browser to allow flash content to be displayed and is required for many gaming sites.

    I don't much about Adobe flash player. I wasn't even sure I had it. Matter of fact one of the sites I visited said I need to download flashplayer, for viewing purposes. So when I tried to download it, it replied I already have it. So I used the forgot "sign in & password retriever. I was well on my way. I thought it would be a rather simple process. So, I tried to download "FP10." Boy was I confused. I kept getting a msg. That it would damage my pc, along with a lot of other bad things? So my PC would not let me access "10." I read all about every error support, concluded it must be a "bad site" that it was an insecure site maybe? So, I came here and I sure hope Adobe Flash player 10 it ALL IT"S OUT TO BE? Anyways, I downloaded it and am about to reboot. Then i'll see what happens from that point. I just wanted to say thank the modern technology of today that I found you! Hope you get my email and stay in touch? If this works?> Who knows what else I mite need u 4. Or maybe someday I can help you too...thanks a lot. You seem to b a wise person.
