Question

Flash Player install

I have Apple MacBook Pro.

Have just installed El Capitan 10.11.5

Have successfully downloaded Flash Player installer.

But install process continually fails after about 75% completion.

I have been through the whole process with an Apple tech.

So I think I can say that every possible fault that might exist within the Apple installation has been checked.

But still it fails to install and he has been told by a superior tech that this is a Adobe problem.

Can someone please help

Happy to give a phone number if it helps.

    Hi there,

    THANK YOU…

    IT’S INSTALLED AT LONG LAST.

    However to update…

    This bit below is slightly different…

    I’m running 10.11.05

    And this bit looks slightly different on 10.11.05

    ALLOW PLUGS IN’S I ticked

    DOUBLE CLICKED on “PLUG IN SETTINGS"

    Then TICKED THE “ALLOW” boxes in the next screen

    Click the Security tab.

    Ensure that Enable JavaScript is selected.

    Ensure that Allow Plug-Ins is selected.

    Next to Allow Plug-ins, click Manage Website Settings

    Mac OS X 10.8 and 10.9

    Also by downloading from this link rather than direct from ADOBE… actually opened a different Installer process than had been originally been opening

    Flash Player for Safari and Firefox - NPAPI <https://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg>

    I HOPE THIS HELPS ANYONE ELSE HAVING PROBLEMS.

    WIFF.

    Adobe purchased macromedia back in 2005, and while most assets have migrated to adobe.com, some have to stay on macromedia.com in perpetuity.  Please feel free to consider the adobe.com and macromedia.com domains to be trusted.
