Re: Can't Install Flash

[Ronni Brown]

Hi Blitto,

The link you downloaded was for Flash Player 13, if you have Auto Update 
enabled it should update that Flash Player to the current version which is 
14.0.0.125.
If it hasn't updated click 'Check Now' in System Preferences > Flash Player - 
Advanced.

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: Can't Install Flash

[rblit]

Thanks Ronni

SUCCESS! 

It appears the new flash installer does not contain the package to do
the install. 

The installer itself tries to download the package during the
installation. 

For me this “retrieving install” process would not work 

At this link you can download a full installer
