I try to download Adobe Flash Player 9 ActiveX.exe and keep receiving this error message:
Error box titled: Adobe Flash Player 9 ActiveX Setup
red circle w/ white X inside. Error opening file for writing
CWindowssystem32MacromedFlashFlash9d.ocx
Click abort to stop installation
Retry to try again, or
Ignore to skip this file
I have uninstalled previous version
First uninstall http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player.exe
Then it finally worked for me
Secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb /verbose
This works!
First uninstall http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player.exe then Reboot comp and install FLASH, i tried for weeks with other methods but 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
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player.e xe
uninstall_flash_player /clean
4. Install flash http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/
5. Enjoy!
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.
After dealing with this issue for about 2 years, I was finally able to fix it using the CMD........
I have xp pro and couldn't load any flashplayer version. I would get the 19166 error.. For two years I was able to work around by restoring my computer to a point where adobe flash 8 was working. I would then make version 8 so it would search for updates. I would also make IE so that it would download any flash updates..
I then found this site and tried the CMD prompt thing. I ran that, then I did the adobe uninstal thing then I did the adobe instal thing
and i final got adobe flash 10 to work!!!
One issue I had was typing in the CMD line, I wasn't sure if there was a space or not. I put it into a word processing window so I could figure out when or if a spaces were needed in that line. Took a few tries, but I finally got the CMD to run.

How can i get the adobde flash player
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.
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!

I had the same, closed all applications and browser windows, restarted IE (6.0) surfed to Adobe again and it installed correctly.
I can't install adobe flash player 9 every time i install it requires me to trouble shoot
I have the same problem how do you fix it
What internet browser are you using?
I tooo
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!
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!

I have the exact same problem and have tried all I can find to fix it. A registry fix, uninstall, reinstall, office repair, etc.
Any advice?
After removing my older adobe flashplayer I can't get Adobe Flash Player9 ActiveX to download. (Flash Player Active X setup failed to install.For troubleshooting tips see adobe.com/go/tn_19166.) Needless to say i have followed the step by step directions & this problem persists. HELP please. PS: I am computer illiterate. [email protected]
For several weeks now I’ve had an activex problem I’m attempting to resolve. The actual error reads like this: Flash Player Active X setup-Failed to install-For troubleshooting tips please see: http//www.adobe.com/go/tn_19166—For much of this time I’ve tried this nonexistent address without success! As activex problems and questions on Internet Explorer lead me to registry repair software I went to a comparison site where Max Registry Cleaner came highly recommended! After my purchase the error message was still there? I've contacted Max Secure Software without any fix can you help?
Same issue, can't get it to install.
