Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit with Flash Player problem

I have IE 10 installed and everytime I click a video that requires Flash
Player, it downloads and installs it. I've downloaded and installed it
over ten times but it still is not installed.

Download the FlashPlayer uninstaller and the current FlashPlayer offline
install version.

Close IE, Disable your AV(if not using MSE), Run the Uninstaller,
restart, install the latest FlashPlayer using the offline install version.

Uninstaller

Latest version 11.9.900.117

- Choose the EXE or MSI installer

Note: If also using an alternate browser, and not using the latest Flash
the above page provides links for Flash for Plug-in based browsers
(Firefox, SeaMonkey etc.)

I like to use the archive version, download it, and run
the specific file per browser type. One type is for
ActiveX based browsers (IE). The other, for the netscape
type plugins (Firefox, Seamonkey, etc).

http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/...-versions.html

Scroll down on that page, until you see:

(Released 10/8/2013) Flash Player 11.9.900.117 (156.2 MB)

Now, I check that this is the correct version,
with the "test page". That's how I know I've
picked the right one. Some times the correct
version isn't on the archive page, and is only
initially available via the regular network
install method.

When you get the ZIP file in hand, open with 7ZIP,
and go to a place like:

fp_11.9.900.117_archive\11_9_r900_117\
flashplayer11_9r900_117_win.exe 17MB --- netscape-like
flashplayer11_9r900_117_winax.exe 17MB --- IE only

Extracting the first one, it'll probably install
flash in both Firefox and Seamonkey at the same
time. Running the second file, will load
Adobe Flash into IE.

Some combinations of IE and Windows, have a
built-in Flash subsystem. In which case,
attempts to install Flash on your own,
will likely lead to failure. Microsoft
would then be pushing out updates
to its built-in Flash version, as
the need arises. AS far as I know,
your combination, should accept the above
flashplayer11_9r900_117_winax.exe installer.

Try the standalone method and see if it works
any better.

That's certainly another route..and perfectly acceptable especially if
the current is available and one needs both Active X and Plug-in versions.

For the most part, I'd be more inclined to send folks to the
Distribution site for the offline installers and get both files -
totaling ~ 35 MB vs. the 150+ MB archive.

I've not delved into IE11 on Windows 7 yet...afaik Win8 type o/s are the
only versions that Flash Player updates get pushed through Windows
Updates instead of supporting manual installation using an exe/msi file.

I installed all flash crapware as I have had problems with it on tablets
and PCs.

All systems running better once I removed it and now ignore the sites
needing the obsolete flash.
