Repeated Google searches show many others had similar problems installing the new Flash Player versions (on different platforms and frequently with OS versions other than 10.6.8), and I have eagerly tried to learn from their successes but NONE have worked on my particular computer. I have downloaded the 14.0.0.145 update from at least three different download sites, to deal with possibility of corrupted version. I have tried to install 14.0.0.145 on this computer many many times, and the install always stops, freezing at precisely 95%. BUT I cannot do what I need: instal the new Flash Player on a 10.6.8 system running on my Mac mini (Serial # C07FC92JDD6H, build 10K549). I have also successfully installed the new Flash Player on a 10.6.8 system running on an iMac. I have successfully installed the version 14 flashplayer on 10.9.3 systems running on the same Mac mini (on a different partition of the same HD). I cannot succeed in installing the new versions of Flash Player in the Mac mini I need to use for this work. I need to use Mac OS X 10.6.8 in order to run software not supported in later versions of OSX.
