Security Update for Flash Player (KB913433)

This update fails to install. I have x64 version with auto updates enabled.
On shutdown update attempts to install, then goes to shutting down and
freezes. This problem has been an ongoing issue for several months.

Hi there,

Better to install it from here :http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer/

Best regards,
Michel Denie

What Error Code.

Select, Start, Help and Support, Keep your Windows up- to-date with
Windows Update, Review your Update History and click on the Failed
Icon in the Status Column. What does it say?

Error Code: 0x643 is the error code, my apologies for not including it in
the original post.

There are three methods to work around this problem.
- Any one of these workarounds will prevent Windows Update, Microsoft Update, and Automatic Updates from offering to install the MS06-020 security update.

These workarounds are as follows:

• Visit the Windows Update or Microsoft Update home pages. Locate the MS06-020 security update in the list of updates that are offered. This update will appear as “Security Update for Macromedia Flash 6 (KB913433).” Click the plus sign next to the update, and then click to select the Don’t show me this update again check box.

• Locate and delete the following files on your computer:
• Flash.ocx
• Swflash.ocx
Note One or both of these files may be installed on your computer. Typically, these files are installed in the %windir%\system32\Macromed folder.

• Install the latest version of Flash Player. For more information, visit the following Adobe Web site:
- http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/downl...ShockwaveFlash

Note: This issue does not leave the user’s system in an insecure state where the Flash Player is concerned, even though the security update could not be installed. The security update cannot be installed because the Flash Player files are present, but they are not registered. Because they are not registered, the Flash Player cannot be run. As soon as one of the files are reregistered, the user will resume receiving security updates through the regular channels.
