October 17, 20169 yr I'm running Win Vista x64 SP2 . The control panel's Win update stopped working, so a few days ago I restored Vista to "factory condition" ans all available updates were downloaded and installed. But when I tried to re-install Adobe Flash Player, I found the Adobe install file would not start. Strange because I did have Flash player for Firefox and IE on my computer, before re-installing Vista. Then I saw this from Microsoft ..........................."You cannot run an application that is signed with a SHA-256 certificate on a computer that is running Windows Vista SP2 or Windows Server 2008 SP2" . The answer was to add this update "Windows6.0-KB2763674-x64" . But so far the stand-alone installer has been running for hours, and it hasn't even found the update yet, and it doesn't seem like it's going to. So what now? I hope that the "stand-alone installer" doesn't "hose up" the Control panel's up-date ability! When, about 8 yrs. ago I was working on a install disc for XP, I could down load complete update files, click on them and they would install. No "stand-alone installer" needed. Can you still get complete, ready to install updates like that? Feedback will be appreciated.
October 18, 20169 yr Author I need to up-date my post , I have a active X flash player installed On IE. it's the Firefox version that won't install. Thanks !
