Nothing can be more frustrating than trying to install a critical plug-in for your web browser and having the system give you an error. Such was the case when I needed to install the latest Adobe Flash player in my Internet Explorer browser. Now I don't even use IE as my primary browser because of the security issues but I had to get the Flash player installed so that I could use Adobe Captivate to record some work processes that I was attempting to document.
Every time I tried to install the plug in from the download page I would get an error message saying that the Adobe Flash Player failed to install. I spent a couple of hours trying to set certain security settings per the support information posted on the Adobe website. Finally I Google'd my problem and got a link to www.fixya.com which had the exact answer that resolved the problem. I found my solution under the heading "55 Other Users Have The Same Problem".
If you are suffering from the same problem, this solution might just fix your problem. Once I typed the command correctly per the instructions, I was able to go back to the Flash install page and install the player with no problem whatsoever. I got so happy that I even went ahead and installed the Adobe Media Player. Don't know how I'll use it yet but it's installed!
With Flash installed for IE, I can now put IE back on the shelf and go on about my business with Adobe Captivate and resume my regular web browsing with my browser of choice: Firefox.
