Operating system: OS X 10.5.8

Processor: 2.1 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

Browser: Safari 5.0.6 (have also tried on latest version of firefox)

I have tried so many times to install flash player and each time the download stope (usually at 0%) and doesn't give a reason. I was looking through other threads and I have found that my flash player plugin is in the Internet Plug-Ins (Disabled) folder but I've no idea how to enable it again. Plug ins are enabled under preferences. Could this be the problem? Thanks.

I don't have shockwave installed. So I should do that first yes? I had flash player before so I must have had it and I have no idea how it has been unintalled. Should I also change the flash player plug-in from disabled? I don't know how to do that! Thanks very much for your help with this.

Update: I installed flash shockwave successfully but still couldn't install flash player. Got the message "This installation failed" at 0%.

Could you both try these steps for installing Flash Player?

1. Download and mount the dmg from http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/pdc/11.2.202.235/install_flash_player_osx.dmg

2. Right click on the "Install Adobe Flash Player" icon and select "Show Package Contents".

3. Navigate into the /Contents/Resources/ folder and double click the Adobe Flash Player.pkg file.

I've tried the suggestions in this forum, including clean install, downloading offline version with Firefox, etc, but every time my installer stalls at 46% of the way. Ideas?

I tried all sorts of fixes, including a clean install. When I installed the offline version, that worked.

I'm also attempting to run a clean install.

I uninstalled successfully after several unsuccessful attempts to run the flash player update, and restarted.

Then I downloaded the latest install and ran it. The results of the installer are the same, whether I'm running the update or the clean install.

The Adobe Flash Player Installer opens to a small black window - and a progress bar of 0% appears for a moment before it disappears.

The auto-updater is still running - but nothing ever happens.

Chris Campbell - you seem to know your way around some previous install problems. Any more suggestions for this latest update?

Try downloading the offline installer. I had the same issue.

I am having the same problem I've tried to uninstall all of Adobe Flash and reinstall 11.2 with no luck. I am running Mac OS X 10.6.8 on a MacBook w/ 2 Ghz Intel core 2 Duo. Now I'm at the point where almost every video we need to access is restricted. Is there anyone else having this problem? Adobe please fix!!!.
