I just tried around 5 time to get the latest update for your adobe flash player and it keeps saying install failed

I running xp pro sp3 with the latest version of fire fox and a old out dated version of chrome that is no longer supported

Hi,

This is a known issue with the online installer due to a recent digital signature change for sha256 support (for more details see comment #17 at newest flash update won't complete install on Windows XP )

The offline installer, posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows 7 and earlier page, in the 'Still having problems' section will work, but will return 'Unkown Publisher', again due to a change in the digital signature.
