Often, the easiest way to resolve failed downloads is to try the download again using a different browser. For example, if you're using Internet Explorer on Windows, try Firefox. If you're using Firefox on Mac OS, try Safari. Make sure that your computer meets the Akamai Download Manager minimum. Adobe Flash Player cannot install if a Web browser such as Internet Explorer, Firefox or Google Chrome is open, so be sure to close all browsers before trying to install Flash. Check in the computer's downloads folder for the installer program. If it is not found or cannot be opened, try downloading the program again.
Important Reminder:
Flash Player's end of life is December 31st, 2020. Please see the Flash Player EOL Information page for more details.
