Flash Player Installation Error: ABORT: Pointer is NULL… (MAC)

[Jaykobe]

I have recently just tried installing the latest flash player install and I'm getting the following error message when i click on the "install Adobe Flash Player" icon.  

Here is the full error message:

Internal error...

ABORT: Pointer is NULL

       (/Users/macbuildbox/solid/lib/emucore/emu-str.c/1481)

If someone would have the slightest idea of how to resolve this issue, that would be great!!!

P.S. I'm using a Apple MAC:

Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63b)

Thanks in advance!!!

No idea what that means; try http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player_osx.dmg

Hopefully Pat's suggestion gets you around this problem.  We'd still like to get a better understanding of what's happening here.

Could you also please post the contents of the installer log?

It's located under /Users/<your_username/Logs/FlashPlayerInstallManager.log.  You can attach it to a reply by clicking "Use Advanced Editor" in the reply window, then the Attach button at the bottom of the window, or any kind of file sharing link - dropbox, pastebin, etc. would work.

Thanks!

Thanks for your input Pat and Jeromie, looks like that link to the mac osx install worked a treat...

As for the installer log, I cant seem to find the file paths…. hopefully this method orks for everyone that gets this error though!

Cheers!!!
