Flask Player update stops at Step 1 of 3
Yesterday an Adobe Flash Player update advice popped up when I opened my browser.
As I am suspicious of Adobe installing unwanted adware I am extra cautious about Adobe updates.
Version 15.0.0.189 (16-10-14)
Step 1 of 3
"Options" panel is blank
"Terms and conditions:" (panel 3 of "Step:1 of 3") ... has a link-caption "Adobe Software Licencing Agreement" ...
https://www.adobe.com/au/legal/licenses-terms.html
- which when clicked results in an Adobe error page 404
Page: 1 of 3
Daringly I clicked on [Update Now]
New page was ...
Adobe in Australia (I am in Australia)
http://www.adobe.com/au/
- no more wizard pages (2of3, 3of3)
- no progress bar
- no finished notice
- nothing
Checked my browser for plugins and extensions
Plugins:-
- Shockwave Flash 15.0.0.152
- I uninstalled "Shockwave" on 30-Aug-2014
- what is going on here ?
- No sign of Flash Player ?
Checked Add remove Programs:-
End of episode
What is going on here ?
- none of it makes sense to me
- what have I (or not) done wrong ?
- 4 other PCs simply update Flash Player ... and its all over in about 15 seconds max
- trying to sort this problem has cost me >3 hours of searching the Adobe forum for clues ..... !
