Question

Running Windows XP (32-bit) and Firefox (most recent updated version) and am able to download the appropriately-selected flashplayer installer which, when double-clicked on, will not open.

I have made several attempts to update flashplayer, in response to Firefox disabling the now-outdated version repeatedly, and no matter how many copies of the installer I download, double-clicking on the file is a futile effort. The file simply refuses to open.

HELP!

Download install

You all should go up to my first post in this thread, click on that link to another thread, I posted a link in that thread, it is the third one in there and make sure you read what I have said in that paragraph, so you know what to download, and see if that helps.

Sitting around waiting for Adobe to provide a simple click and fix solution i bet will not happen, you will have to fumble through files, get logs, etc...

Do you have a Service Pack installed on your XP system? If so, which one?

I am having EXACTLY the same problem!

I keep clicking the icon but the installer new launched, AT ALL!

I have also tried EVERYTHING they suggested in HELP, etc...

Someone please help with this issue!

My computer is not without flash player, so I only open sites with HTML5 like YouTube!

If Adobe doesn't find a fix for this, and soon, I feel forced to look for alternatives.

take a look at what i posted here: Cannot install the latest Flash Player for FF into my Vista system

Maybe that may assist?

I agree that the new installer files seem suspect, and this was my initial presumption, leading me here.....to a help forum. If Adobe can find a 'fix' for this dilemma, I'm ready to hear it.

I presented Adobe with a simple one click installer solution months ago, I have several one click fix solutions, for whatever reasons they don't want to make it easy; prob because of that McAfee bloatware they are getting paid to promote..
