Can't get Adobe Flash Player 9 ActiveX.exe to download.

OK, to help clarify my fix so you know exactly where the spaces are, type this line, and where you see an exclamation mark ( ! ), replace it with a space. Again, this should all be on one line from a Command Prompt window.

secedit!/configure!/cfg!%windir%\repair\secsetup.inf!/db!secsetup.sdb!/verbose

This process takes a few minutes to run, so please be patient, and wait for it to complete before using your PC. I would recommend that no other programs are running while you do this. The Command Prompt window should state when the process is finished. Because I am a technician working in an organization with almost 1000 users, and am seeing this problem on several PCs, I created a batch file so I don't have to keep typing it.

Again, once it finishes, open up Internet Explorer, then go to Adobe's site and try to install Flash.

Good Luck folks!

First uninstall http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player.exe

Then it finally worked for me

Oh, forgot to mention, after running the fix, then try to re-install Flash. Like I said, worked for me on 4 PCs.

I had the same, closed all applications and browser windows, restarted IE (6.0) surfed to Adobe again and it installed correctly.

Hello,

I struggled with this issue for some time, then finally came across this solution, relating to the system's security settings and reverting them back to default. You may want to back up your system first however, as this may affect other programs that may rely on some changed security settings. I have run this fix on 4 PC's now, and all worked like a charm. To apply the fix, open a Command Prompt by clicking on "Start", followed by "Run", and type CMD in the box, then click OK. When the Command Prompt window opens up, type this line exactly as entered, being careful that you use spaces where needed (This should all be on one line):

secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb /verbose

Hope this helps!

no puedo instalar este sistema x favor necesito ayuda ya que no puedo ver videos ni nada gracias

secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb /verbose

This works!

It seems that most of the time its a permissions issue with the registry. I have tried all the fixes that i could find in fourms, adobe's knowldgebase and nothing. This is the only fix i found to work for windows XP PRO, might work with home but not sure if it has secedit or not.

As administrator do the following
1. Open a command prompt
Start -> Run
type CMD and hit "OK"

2. Run secedit (this will reset all core file permssions and registry permissions.)

secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb /verbose
3. Download and run the adobe flash uninstall. This will make sure nothing is left from failed installs

4. Install flash http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/

Can't get Adobe Flash Player 9 ActiveX.exe to..

I have been dealing with this same issue after installing a new HP printer.... something happeded when printer was installed that uninstalled my flash player and it wouldn't reinstall for anything. I tried everything I could find on microsoft, adobe, and hp sites.....kept getting failed install error 19166.... it drove me crazy because there was no logical explaination for it.. I could install ALL other Adobe applications... just not flash player. The way I fixed it was to run the batch setup by "polaris", who posted the answer on this site last April 2008!!! It worked!!! Way to go "polaris".... awesome! Thank you for the solution.

Adobe Flash Player 9 ActiveX

For Vista users having active-x problems with adobe flash player try this and see if it will let you install flash player...in windows explorer opern the folder holding internet explorer...usually "c:program files\internet explorer"...then right-click on the file "iexplore.exe" and select "Run as Administrator". You should be able to go to the Adobe website and install the flash player.

I had this problem - INFURIATING! But what I did was dowload Firfox for my internet browser (and you still get to keep your regular browser - you'll just have two) and Firefax allowed me to install Flash Player 9 when I used Firefox (which will import all of your information from your other internet browser)...so simple, yet it took me about 5 hours to finally realize what I needed to do.
Good luck!
