Installer stopped at 95% and won't let me force quit, restart or turn off the computer

The flash player install manager stopped at 95% on my Mac and has been like that for a couple of days now. I can't end the installer, I can't even force quit. The installer doesn't allow me to restart or turn off the computer, because it's "still installing".

How can I solve this problem? Please help me!

Flash Player is EOL.  It is no longer being maintained or receiving security updates, and most browsers will be removing support for all browser plug-ins in upcoming releases.  We strongly recommend that you uninstall at this point.

What happens when you do a force quit?

What's your Mac's version?

Hi,

I'm sorry you're having problems installing.  Let's try the following:  After mounting the Flash Player dmg, right click the "Install Adobe Flash Player" icon and select "Show Package Contents".  From there, go into the Contents/Resources folder and run the file named "Adobe Flash Player.pkg".

Thanks,

Chris
