Help authenticating installer

[JCoiro]

Hello,
I have administrator access to my computer and have set all setting to enable
downloading, etc. However, when I try to download Shockwave onto my computer,
I get the error "unable to authenticate installer". Does anyone know of
additional settings that I need to enable or disable in order to automcatically
authenticate the installer?

Thank you.

[zandwin]

I have the same problem....
How is this possible???

[xdollpartsx]

I also have this problem its really frustrating

[webfor...@macromedia.com]

:| I'm having the same problem except I don't even get "unable to authenticate
installer". Nothing happens at all. I have changed the administrator
settings and turned off the pop-up blocker. I go to the website and click on
install. It takes me to the downloading page where it's supposed to be
downloading and nothing happens. I don't get a gold bar at the top of the
screen and I don't get the warning box. It also says "done" at the bottom
corner of the page so I know nothing is happening. I'm a little irritated that
even the computer "tech" that I called at my college doesn't have an anwer for
me. I have to have this to complete my computer class (to view my
assignments). I can't drop so maybe someone at this forum can help?

[drengi]

I to am getting this error message when trying to install Macromedia from the
adobe site. I've logged on to my laptop with full administrive rights and still
get the error. I'm using Windows XP. Is there any solution to this problem?

[lovegodmikey]

all i done is lowered the settings to accept all cookies in privacy internet options. opened a new explorer page and it was then ok.

[CountryMan73436]

Please check you system clock, making sure it is close to the actual time. The time being inaccurate can result in the error "unable to authentic installer."

[RouterEyes]

I have checked the system clock and lowered ALL my security settings AND I am
an administrator on my PC but it still gives me the "Unable to Authenticate
Installer" message. Does anyone from Adobe have any input???

[jetmuzer]

[b]Wow![/b] i'm not alone with that trouble, http://jetmuser.com's funy ;)
Did somebody found way to fix it?

[CountryMan73436]

First, Be sure your system clock is set to the correct time / date / time zone

Then go to the following, download / run the "Flash Player Uninstaller" 1st,
then download "Flash Player" http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/alternates/

If this fails:
Resolution to "Unable to authenticate installer"

Open Microsoft® Internet Explorer®.
Choose Tools, then Internet Options.
Select the Security tab.
Choose Internet.
Click Custom Level.
Ensure that the 'Download Signed ActiveX controls' option is set to Prompt.
Ensure that the 'Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins' option is set to Prompt.
Make sure that your Internet Explorer security level is not set to High or to
a custom level that does not allow viewing of ActiveX controls.

Please also ensure that previous versions have been uninstalled prior to
install.

[konary]

when have a problem with "unable to authenticate installer,"pls take note to
the following points:
check the versions of your current operating system, check you system clock,
making sure it is close to the actual time,
Check.http://catwebsite.googlepages.com browser settings, Close is running the
web http://catwebsite.googlepages.com/catfood.htm, close down all too many

Hello Tomelloso,

What is the exact message in Firefox? It shouldn't be "unable to authenticate installer".

I am glad I found this forum, had this installation problem a few weeks ago and
just put it aside.

What fixed it for me was an incorrect setting for Download Signed ActiveX
Controls option (not set to Prompt).

Excellent!

Hello,
Is there any way to reduce the file size of the flash? I was trying to put
some flash intro on my website http://www.online-degree-college.org/, but even
a small intro was about 400kb. It makes it difficult for users on low internet
connection. Please advice. I have a similar problem on putting a smaller size
flash file at
http://www.freeonlinedating.ws/.
Please advice.

[Ni2J]

Thanks konary for advice.
Best regards

The firewall is probably the culprit. Windows firewall can be a real PITA. I've
turned it off and just use the firewall in my router.

I'm having the same problem too. Did you try disabling popups? Also, another

the problem. I appreciate any advice that you can give to help this. Thank you

I think having problems is always normal if you are using Vista. LOL! Ever
since I started using Vista it seems like things don't work as well, even
though I have more RAM etc than ever. Blah.

Open Microsoft® Internet Explorer®.
Choose Tools, then Internet Options.
Select the Security tab.
Choose Internet.
Click Custom Level.
Ensure that the 'Download Signed ActiveX controls' option is set to Prompt.
Ensure that the 'Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins' option is set to Prompt.
Make sure that your Internet Explorer security level is not set to High or to
a custom level that does not allow viewing of ActiveX controls.

[furnitureguys]

Thanks very much, this problem happened to me as well. I followed the step from
you and my problem got solved.

For other people if you can not solve the problem after following these steps,
you may want to check your hardware configuration to see if there are other
conflicts. The simply way to do that is to go to your hardware manage section,
which can be accessed from your control panel.

I had the same problem and it was easly fix by disabling the installer and try
to install it manually by finding the setup in one of those folders. I hope
this helps you to get the thing rolling if not feel free to post here.
