this is important so that we can try to reproduce the behaviour you are experiencing.

Please go to issues with Flash Player and provide the following information: It's obvious you're having problems viewing Flash content on a web site, but you have failed to provide the information we have requested at issues with Flash Player and continue to post to unrelated topics. If you choose to manage Flash installations manually (which is what I imagine you're doing, since this is happening enough that you're annoyed about it) then you'll get the prompt from MacOS every time you run the installer.

If you enable automatic updates after you install, you'll get the helper prompt once, and then the automatic update service will keep Flash updated, and you'll never get the prompt again. Traditional desktop applications in 2018 would simply publish their applications through the app store and let it handle the update logic, so it makes sense that these mechanisms would get locked down as the number of legitimate uses for them dwindles. These prompts are recent additions to MacOS, and I don't believe that we can avoid them.

I imagine that we need elevated privileges to install the plug-in in that system location, and to install and run our auto-update service. We have to install the browser plug-in in shared system locations, and it makes sense to tighten access around those locations. Flash Player isn't like a typical desktop application that would get installed in the Applications folder. So, Adobe, what is this phantom "helper tool" and why do you refuse to say what it is when you insist people download it?

Every time I am forced to deal with an Adobe product something about it displeases me, a problem I've never had with any other software developer. Shouldn't that choice be mine? How can I make an educated decision if I don't know what it is?

How can I decide if I want this update enough to include some undescribed, nondisclosed "helper tool" if Adobe refuses to tell me what the "helper tool" is? Maybe I don't want the "helper tool" enough to warrant updating Flash player. TELL ME SPECIFICALLY WHAT THE DARN "HELPER TOOL" IS.

give me the option of not adding the helper tool if I don't want it while still allowing the installation to continue, which brings me to the most important point:.

don't give me some vague language about "a new helper tool,".

I have a few problems with this approach: If I want to update my Flash player, I must provide this information or the installation will quit. Not just because I have never been a fan of Adobe, with each update I become increasingly irritated by this demand. Every time I am forced to update Flash Player I am asked by Adobe for my administrator username and password so Adobe can install "a new helper tool."
