Firefox prompts update for shockwave flash. Downloaded installer but repeatedly fails at 50%, reads "failed to initialize." Redownloading the installer leads to the same result.

Hello, be sure that Firefox is closed (from File > Exit), before install Flash. Also be sure to run the Flash installer as Administrator (right-click: Run as ...) to get access rights for installing the files. Any luck ?
