As the download at the Adobe site is provided with unwanted "additions",
I prefer the (clean) downloads at FileHippo.
http://www.filehippo.com/download_flashplayer_ie/
http://www.filehippo.com/download_flashplayer_firefox/

Furthermore at the Adobe download site a 64-bit version is advised for
64-bit Windows, which is silly as my 32-bit browsers require a 32-bit
Flash player.
(I use Windows 7 64-bit)

The 64bit version installs both 64-bit and 32-bit flash player.
If you're using Win7 64-bit you have IE 64-bit and IE 32-bit on your system.

I'm a  linuxer, so I grab the tarball, extract one file,
libflashplayer.so, and put it in the mozilla plugins directory.
Haven't seen or paid attention to any unwanted stuff.  What little
goodies and bundles of joy am I missing out on?

ROTFL
"Your system: Windows 32-bit, English, Firefox"
But I have Windows 64-bit.

"Free! McAfee Security Scan Plus"
Thanks, but nothanks.


Hmm, I will consider the 64-bit version.
But I am used to install only the non-IE version.

The only thing updated to version 11 is the plugin for Internet Explorer.
Their ftp site has not updated the IE plugin.

So, I uninstalled the 32-bit version and installed the 64-bit version.
(non-ie.)
Next problem, when I try to use the included (flash-11) uninstaller,
I am told to use a 64-bit uninstaller.
(C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\FlashUtil11c_Plugin.exe)


https://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/alternates/
The Flash Player uninstaller from this location works.
This is the flash-10 uninstaller, but apparently able to uninstall the
64-bit Flash?
 :-?

Good grief, all you have to do is uncheck it and it won't install the 
McAfee crap.

Yes, I have seen the Chrome option too but I can't remember (Old age?) 
what program it was.

As for Flashplayer the install for Firefox gives you the McAfee option 
and the IE install gives you the Google bar option.

In other words "Read before you click" because somebody will try to 
sneak something in. :-(

I have observed Adobe installers offering Chrome one time, McAfee next
time (two consecutive downloads). It seems to switch back and forth.

Any way to get an offline install for both IE and Firefox? I usually go to:

http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#main_Advanced

But this currently only gives version 10,3,183. Thanks.

Ah the wonderful world of Adobe crapware.

Since I recently did a complete rebuild of my system anyway, I've decided
that any installation of anything Adobe (unlikely to be anything but Flash)
is going in its own Sandboxie box to make sure it doesn't take a wiz all
over my nice clean Windows.

Apparently not. So I am sticking with my existing version, and Adobe can

Try here:

http://www.adobe.com/special/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html

When you get the download area where it asks you if you want the Google 
toolbar (you may want to unselect this) click that you are using a 
differenct operating system and you will get a new page.  Assuming you 
are using windows use that for your operating system and then in the 
next data entry field list what version you want and then you can 
download the executable.

Now that seems to work.

Can anyone suggest why Adobe have so very many web locations for
downloading their products, and why they are so hard to find ?

It strikes me as perverse. Why build and maintain it, then seemingly
hide it ?

And the stub installer seems to disappear when I click on it, then
nothing happens. I had the same problem recently with Adobe Reader, and

Having installed both the ActiveX and the plugin versions of Flash
11.0.1.152, using the offline install exes, I see warnings for both
versions about problems when Real Player is present. Does everyone see
those warnings, or are they only offered where they are relevant ? 
I don't think there is any trace of Real Player on any of our PCs, so I
am puzzled by this warning.

The tax returns are clearly important, but the only time I even vaguely miss
flash is on Youtube and then I just download the mp4 and watch it in VLC
anyway.  Even that goes away with HTML5.

Adobe is Dead Man Walking.

I am seeing more and more websites being 'improved' by the unnecessary
use of Flash content. Drives me mad, but the trend seems unstoppable.

From the Adobe webpage

http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402903.html

QUOTE

Issue

Adobe Flash Player crashes when exiting a page that has SWF file content
and the RealPlayer "browser download button" feature is enabled.
Solution

Remove RealPlayer or disable the RealPlayer browser download button in
your browser's add-on preferences. To disable the download button:

Internet Explorer

   1. Choose Tools > Manage Add-ons.
   2. Choose Enable or Disable Add-ons.
   3. In the Add-ons window, select "Real Player Download and Record
Plugin for Internet Explorer"
   4. Click Disable in the settings area at the bottom of the window.
   5. Close and reopen the browser.

Firefox

   1. Choose Tools > Add-ons.
   2. In the Add-ons window, select "Real Player Browser Record Plugin."
   3. Select either Disable or Uninstall.
   4. Close and reopen the browser for the change to take effect.

UNQUOTE

So it's a warning offered to everyone, but not affecting everyone.

The previous one worked for me, but of course that was uninstalling
Flash 10. And I have just tested it, and it worked for the new Flash 11
versions too.

Maybe we have different definitions of "unnecessary" but not seeing
something that's unnecessary to me isn't a problem.  I don't need to see an
animated orange orangutan jumping around the screen spelling out "WELCOME TO
CRAPPYWEBDESIGNER.COM!!!!!"  Just show me the bleep bleeping content and
that will speak for itself, good or bad.  Unfortunately yes, people are
morons.  And that's both on the web author side and more so on the consumer
side.

If you don't have a reason, at least have an excuse.

Is it necessary to uninstall version 10 before installing version 11. 
I've always installed updated versions of 10 ontop of each other. The 
only time I ever had a problem was when I used Adobe's unibstaller so in 
my experience it is to be avoided.

It is always absolutely essential to uninstall earlier versions. Never
ever think of installing a newer version of Flash without uninstalling
the older version. 

Adobe advise/instruct that older versions be uninstalled first, and
while I quite understand why most sensible folk would do exactly the
opposite of anything Adobe might suggest, I learned that that would be
unwise a few years ago, when an online security scan (Secunia IIRC)
flagged up all sorts of ancient and vulnerable versions of Flash left
behind (and potentially exploitable) by my habit of installing newer
versions withour uninstalling earlier versions first.

Since then I have always run the latest uninstaller before installing
any newer Flash variant, and I did the same with version 11. Flash is
enough of a risk at best, without leaving obsolete versions around for
malware to seize on.

That's just my opinion, of course.
