exe (or 'flashplayer11x32' instead of 'reader10', respectively) in the temporary folder, actually just copies of the original installer. I experienced the same behavior for both the installers for Flash and Reader (they appear to be only slight modifications of the same program) and noticed leftover files install_reader10_en_air_gtbd_aih_1_1_1_1_. So, my problem was that after running the installer, about a dozen of seconds it tried to do something silently, deleted itself in the course, and finally quit with no message at all. I hope I actually didn't confuse Leventfou's case with yours completely. I recommended them to offer them again after seeing this bug thoughġ. as it seems to me, full installers are no longer available for the recent versions of Adobe free software. To chris.campbell: the links are to Flash 10, the current version is 11. I am a bit angry on them as they have such bugs in the sole way of installing all their free stuff (which they managed to have sort of monopoly of and we users have to use it liking it or not), sorry! Let's see if the Company is worth something. I filed the bug, so they can correct it soon as the problem is quite pinpointed. Just to add - with precisely the same value for TMP in Windows XP SP3, the bug doesn't appear. A working workaround was to change it to 'C:\temp'. In my case, it triggers when the user environment variable TMP starts with the disk selector in lower case (it was 'c:\temp' for me). I experienced the same problem, it is a bug of the installer itself, regardless you're trying to install Flash or Reader (I am posting this also as a reply to the other question of yours concerning Reader). See this Microsoft article on how to use it: If you see a "Failed to initialize" error in Windows at least, the first place to check is Event Viewer. If found to be blocking Flash, add to the "Trusted Application" list. Solution: view the firewall's Event Log first. Firewalls also function to protect system integrity. Solution: Add Flash player installation file to the AV's whitelist. Every subsequent attempt will be treated the same way.
