Hi vectordr,

To further investigate this issue, can you please provide us the following files

  • A screenshot of the installer dialog with the error (see How to post a screenshot in the forum)
  • Create an empty text file named ADM.trace inside your %temp% directory.  The file extension itself is .trace, not .txt or anything else.
  • To create the empty text file, navigate to the %temp% directory, right-click in an empty area and select New > Text Document
  • Rename the new file to ADM.trace
  • Note: make sure file extensions are visible so that the extension is .trace and not .txt.  See Show or hide file name extensions - Windows Help
  • Run the online installer (from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer )again until the error is returned.
  • Two files, Adobe_ADM.log and Adobe_GDE.log will be generated at C:\Users\<YourUserID>\AppData\Local\Temp\Adobe_ADMLogs
  • Upload the files using the How to share a document instructions
  • Post URL to the uploaded log files

Thanks,

Eswar.

Thank you for the reply Eswar. What is the ADM.trace file created for?

Hi vectordr@bellsouth.net,

Are the files you supplied on Aug 4th and the files you just uploaded from the same machine?

Also, just to verify, Flash Player requires Admin permissions to install.  Is the userId you are using an Administrator user?
