My version of Flash Player was disabled as obsolete (?) and I have been unable to install a new one (11.6.602.167) as downloaded. Installation gets me "Error: unable to proceed with installation" I have Mac OS 10.9.1 and Safari 7.0.1. I also have Firefox and Chrome.as back-ups. Resort to the forum tells me that I should have a file: mach_kernel.zip, which I don't seem to have and I do not have quoted addresses in System Preferences either. How do I get these things?
If you've got 10.9.1, you DO have a mach_kernel file. The 10.9 upgrade installs a new one, even if you may have deleted it with 10.8.5.
It's a hidden file, so unless you know the sudo command to expose it, or you use "Secrets" preference pane to reveal hidden files... you won't see it.

That'll manually remove the old plug-in and replace it.
