1. The progress bar is empty (No green fill in the status bar) but the percentage "complete" moves until it hits 100% and the the option to agree an install flash player pops up
2. The Progress bar and the percentage complete shows full and 100%, but then the flash installation agreement never pops up
wondering if others run into this as well

If I recall Adobe has other ways to get flash installed. Now there are folk that want this downloader to work, but there are too many reasons it may not.
Try the other install methods.

I always install it from the link found on adobe.com
once in awhile the download manager works fine. But mostly it is one of the two problems I described above
The recent install of flash player resulted in The progress bar being empty (No green fill in the status bar) but the percentage "complete" moveshit 100% . (Now in my contrl panel add/remove programs, Adobe Download manager showed as installed)
Then the option to agree an install flash player popped up. I agreed then installed and it showed as done. Flash player is installed (Evidenced by C:|WindowsSystem32Macromed folder and also showing up in the add/remove programs)
so does this mean it is installed properly?

Is to test it.
If you go here;
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
and see the animation, then Flash is working correctly.
Hope that helps.

I really dont care about the download manager as such, only as far as it pertains to the proper isnatllation of the flash player
Infact I tend to uninistall the adaobe download manager after the flash player is installed
Going to the test site Mark gave the link to, I do show that I have the latest version. I can view youtube videos and any page that has flash content seems to work so despite the adobe download manager not working as it is intended, it did install the flash player stuff?

That's a sure sign that it is installed correctly Bill.
I also get the Adobe Download Manager and find it intrusive and a nuisance. Well, not 'intrusive' perhaps, but it is part of an Adobe Updater process that I would love to disable because it must be running all the time. However it has me beaten. I can never find anything.
So now I have accepted my fate and I put up with Adobe, download manager and all!

....in the future, download Flash Player from these direct links.. Save them in your "Bookmarks".
Flash Player for IE:
http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
Flash Player for Non-IE browser (Opera, Firefox etc):
http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
Hope this helps.

Should I uninstall the flash player now and then install from this link you gave?
And why doesn't adobe just take one directly to tha link instead of going through the download manager and stuff?

...users have internet connection problems which interrupt downloads.. The download manager allows the user to pick up where the download was broken. In addition, some download managers included various advertisement gimmicks. Personally, I've never had the need for such download "helpers", especially with small downloads such as flash.
As to uninstalling, then reinstalling Flash; If you've got an older version of Flash installed currently, then YES, uninstall the old and reinstall the newest versions which includes some recent security fixes.
Hope this helps.
