It works on the Adobe website, but not at other websites… I don’t understand. Why would it work on some websites and not others?

I’m happy to see that the problems are getting fixed. I know it’s a pain to try and get this stuff to work right some times.

I’ve noticed that a few people get stuck around Step 6 when trying to do the last sudo command to run the installer. The error that pops up is:

cd MacOS/
sudo ./Install\ Flash\ Player\ 9\ UB
sudo: ./Install: command not found

cd MacOSClassic/
sudo ./Install\ Flash\ Player\ 9\ OSX
sudo: ./Install: command not found

I would suggest listing all the contents of the current folder that you are in. Do it right before the sudo command in Step 6.
For UB:

cd MacOS/
ls -al

For PPC:

cd MacOSClassic/
ls -al

This will give you a list of all hidden/visible files in that directory. Once you locate the correct “Install” file, then do a sudo ./"Installer Name Goes Here". Use quotes unless you are comfortable with escaping spaces with a backslash (\ ).

Let me know if there are still difficulties with this solution.
Cheers, and good luck!

Found it! For PPC users go to your home folder and “Get Info”. Under “Sharing and Permissions” unlock it and add your username (password required). Then within your user folder select “Library” Get Info (command – I), Under “Sharing and Permissions” unlock it and add your username (password required). This give you the permission you need to install that last file! Send this to as many people as you know!

Have had the “permissions” problems on my Mac PPC even after trying all your OS 9 suggestions repeatedly. Was able to installed OS 10.5 with no problem. Don’t know what Adobe did different with OS 10.5 (beta) but it installs seamlessly. The only disadvantage is that it won’t work on all websites till it becomes permanent.
Thanks for all your efforts to resolve the OS 9 problem.
