Flash player installer isn't installing?!

Hi

I'm trying to download and install the latest version of Flash Player (2.0.0.109).  I download and save to desktop but double clicking doesn't do anything.  I've tried to 'Run as' too but still nothing. I've downloaded it several times but can never get it to do anything!!

Please can anyone help?!

Hi,

This is most likely due to a signing certificate issue, especially if you do not have Windows XP SP3.  The online installer is signed with a SHA256 signing certificate and older systems do not support the latest signing technologies.  You can try the offline installer posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows 7 and earlier page in the 'Still having problems' section, but there is no guarantee that it'll work.


Your best bet is to upgrade your system, if possible, to a newer supported operating system version, or install Service Pack 3, if it's not already installed, on your XP system. This page, ssl - SHA2 support for windows XP SP2 : any hotfix or dll available? - Super User‌, may be of assistance.
