Security Garden notified me of an update to Adobe Flash Player. I went to the download center and tried to download and install the latest version. When the installation reached: This Program Will Install Adobe Flash Player 10.1, install was grayed out.
Is anyone else having this difficulity and/or how do I fix it?

Re: Adobe Flash Player 10.1 NOT Plaer
What version do you have installed?
Version 10.1.82.76 was released 8/24/2010.
Why are you using some third party software to track updates, when Adobe will let you know when there is a new release?

Re: Adobe Flash Player 10.1 NOT Plaer
Adobe did not notify me of an update, so when I noticed that there was one, I decided to install it. While I was waiting for a reply from the lounge, I tried again and managed to get version 10,1,85,3. I verified it by running the version test and it confirmed that I had the newest version.DaveA wrote:What version do you have installed?

Is there setting that can make Adobe notify me?

Re: Adobe Flash Plaer 10.1
I have noticed in the recent update windows that there is a subtly-shaded tick box that requires selecting before the 'Install' button is activated. You wouldn't be the first person not to have noticed it.Gloria E wrote:When the installation reached: This Program Will Install Adobe Flash Player 10.1, install was grayed out.

The only checkbox I saw was one to install the Google Toolbar and I sure wasn't going to select that one. I've got more than enough of those. If there was another, I couldn't see it.Leif wrote:I have noticed in the recent update windows that there is a subtly-shaded tick box that requires selecting before the 'Install' button is activated.

Re: Adobe Flash Player 10.1 NOT Plaer
Thanks Joe, from what I saw it looks like the box was ticked. I wonder why I didn't get a notice re: the latest update? Oh well! All's well that ends well.JoeP wrote:See Flash Player: Settings manager.Gloria E wrote:Adobe did not notify me of an update, so when I noticed that there was one, I decided to install it.

Re: Adobe Flash Plaer 10.1
Just to show what it was Leif was talking about, I've gone and uninstalled Flash Player and reinstalled it again. Though this installer is running in Swedish. It isn't complicated, though some think that we need all kind of different layers to ensure that we really, really get the latest version, i.e. for example Adobe has Global Notifications, as mentioned by Joe; Chrome users get Flash Player automatically; some people use third party software to check the status of different software installed, and then we have all the articles, posts etc. in blogs, forums und so weiter, mentioning every little change, security advisories that comes from Adobe.Gloria E wrote:The only checkbox I saw was one to install the Google Toolbar and I sure wasn't going to select that one.

It looks like Install is grayed out on your example, was it?Argus wrote:Just to show what it was Leif was talking about, I've gone and uninstalled Flash Player and reinstalled it again.

It is grayed out until you click the check box, that is also highlighted, agreeing to their terms.Gloria E wrote:It looks like Install is grayed out on your example, was it?

Re: Adobe Flash Plaer 10.1
If the setting, mentioned by Joe, is set to notify you, and for example checking for updates every 7th day, and there is an update available, you will see the update prompt shown in Dave's post.Gloria E wrote:Believe it or not, I've never seen this notice. I must have something wrong with my player setup.
Since it may take some time for it to show up after a new version is released, perhaps a few days, it is quite possible that one reads about a new update before one sees the update dialogue, or if one is one of them using third party tools, it’s possible one gets the notice there and do the update. And, of course, one can also ignore it and download the manual update as usual, or install it via the web, several alternatives.
It was indeed greyed out, to show what we all see, as in most installers nowadays, until we accept the license terms, as Joe said.Gloria E wrote:It looks like Install is grayed out on your example, was it?
