Adobe Flash Player Install Failure

I am brand new to Macs, had my MBP 13" for one week and everything has so far gone so smoothly. However, I just had my first problem. Adobe Flash Player install failed right at the last steps. I wish these things came with an instruction manual. I am old school. What do I do with the thing showing in my download stack on my dock for this flash player and also what do I do with the same that is showing in my finder window for same.


My first thought would be delete and try again but I am so afraid of making a mess out of my MBP tht has so far just worked so well. Please advise what should I do and THEN if I should try again for the Flash Player install. Oh and I am trying from the Adobe site.


Please help and thank you.

MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Hey IpadinParadise, So I figured out a work around. I had this same problem with it getting to the install and failed. I had do this befor when i had a install failure. DL the adobe install and put it somewhere you will be able to access ie the main drive. Log off and log on under a different user account, move install to desktop of new account and install. That worked for me, not sure how the auto updates will work but the install worked. Hope this helps.

Bilzibub - are you saying then that you downloaded an earlier version? That would worry me since only the latest version receives updates for security.


Lately I have been encountering instances where Google Chrome does not work for flash, such as when I would like to order a streaming movie from Amazon. As far as I can tell that requires Flash from Adobe and not from a flash built in browser.

Had the same problem for a long time - after reading this post and other, I figured out to go to Terminal.

Then cd all the way into

/Volumes/Adobe Flash Player Installer/Install Adobe Flash Player.app/Contents/MacOS


then you do

sudo ./Install\ Adobe\ Flash\ Player


put in your password and the installation completes with no errors.


Seems that errorcode 30 has something to do with permissions.

Hi Linc,


I'm having this problem. I've copied the flash log using your advice. Could you please check this out?
