Adobe Shockwave Player download catch 22

When I try to download the newest version of Adobe Shockwave Player (from Adobe - Adobe Shockwave Player) it doesn't work. After clicking the 'download' button, I get this error: "This page contains a new Shockwave format movie that the current Shockwave plug-in cannot handle. Would you like to download the newer version of the plug-in?" with the options "Yes" or "No". If I click yes, it sends me back to the last page I was on, creating a catch 22. To download Shockwave, I need Shockwave. If I choose no, it does nothing and only shows me another Adobe product. Is there a download link that does not require me to use Shockwave before downloading and installing it?
Thanks in advance for your help!
- Kaitlyn

Nevermind, it works now. I uninstalled my current version and installed the newest version and it works now. Problem solved!

You do realize that this is a user-user forum for Flash?
This question is phrased as though it is a question directly

Adobe Shockwave Player for OSX 10.7.1

Hello everyone,
I tried downloading and installing Adobe Shockwave player 11 (11.7 Megabytes) for Mac OSX, and I could not find neither the plug-in on Safari, nor the files that should have been copied to my disk. I've tried downloading alternate versions, but they've already shown to be incompatible with my system. Any help would be appreciated.

Player is working and I see it under Safari plug-ins, still I would like to know where the files from the installation went.

Adobe Shockwave Player 10.4 のインストールを要求されます.

現在、Adobe Shockwave Player 11 を使用しています。
それで、Playerは正常にインストールされているのですが、Shockwaveのコンテンツを見ようとすると、何故かAdobe Shockwave Player 10.4のインストールを要求されます。OSがWindowsVistaなので、インストールされる前にユーザーアカウント制御画面が出て、そこでキャンセルを押してインストールされるのを回避しているのですが、ほとんど全てのShockwaveコンテンツでこのような現象が起きています。
ただ、いまのところ、Adobe Shockwave Playerのバージョンテストページ
"http://www.adobe.com/jp/shockwave/welcome/"
は、ちゃんと表示されています。
何が原因なのでしょうか？

Adobe Shockwave Player 12.1 and forced reboot

Hello I work for a company with 8k computers and we use IEM (IBM Endpoint Manager) distribution tool. We started Adobe product patching in January and we encountered unexpected forced reboot on some Windows 8 computers. IEM creates installation scripts automatically and I have noticed that there are two installation files: sw_lic_full_installer.exe and sw_lic_slim_installer.exe. I have performed some test with both packages and on one PC where I tried sw_lic_slim_installer.exe the FORCED REBOOT occurred. I have checked event viewer logs and found the following lines:
Windows Installer installed the product. Product Name: swMSM. Product Version 12.0.0.1. Product Language: 1033. Manufacturer: Adobe Systems, Inc. installation success or error status:0
Windows Installer requires a system restart. Product Name: swMSM. Product Version 12.0.0.1. Product Language: 1033. Manufacturer: Adobe Systems, Inc. installation success or error status:0
Ending a Windows Installer transaction: C:\windows\SysWOW64\Adobe\Schockwave 12\swMSM.msi. Client Process Id: 220.
The Windows Installer initiated a system restart to complete system restart to complete or continue the configuration of "swMSM".
Could you please explain me when Adobe Shockwave Player updates force a reboot? Unfortunately all updates are packed in exe files so I don't know any way how to suppress the reboot.
Additionally after the installation of the patch we see 2 entries in the control panel:
Adobe Shockwave Player 12.0
Adobe Shockwave Player 12.1
Can you tell me how to get rid of the Adobe Shockwave Player 12.0 entry? Thanks in advance!

I had the same problem on an iMac but managed to download and install shockwave 11, see Adobe - Webplayer
There appeared a notice for incompatibility, but was able to continue installation. Apps (not requiring sw 12) did run after.

Shockwave Player download not in synch with displayed version

Hi,
When I go here Adobe - Adobe Shockwave Player (via Firefox) and I select Windows OS I then get the choice between the full or slim files.
The problem is that today (but this has happened before many times) I can read for instance "Shockwave 12.1.6.156 Windows Full Other Browsers" while what I get after the download is version 12.1.5.155 instead of version 12.1.6.156.
I am fully aware that there other ways to get the latest Shockwave player, but I'd like this specific one to work correctly.
Is there a way to report this to the proper Adobe guys?
Thank you
Best Regards

The file name is always the same: Shockwave_Installer_Full.exe
The version number was given in my initial text: 12.1.5.155.
The digital signature of Shockwave_Installer_Full.exe 12.1.5.155 was somewhere at the end of 2014 (I don't have that file anymore).
Many times (if not every time) as soon as they update the drop-down menu item to "Shockwave x Windows Full Other Browsers" (where x is the brand new version) what you get after the download is complete, is the previous version of Shockwave_Installer_Full.exe and not the version x that was indicated in the drop-down menu item (what I detailed above with version numbers 12.1.6.156 and 12.1.5.155).
This situation lasts for some days; roughly I would say up to a week from when they update the drop-down menu item.
Only after that time what you get after the download is actually the proper version x.
This is not professional from Adobe.
End of story.

Firefox Plugins lists Shockwave Flash 12.0.0.70 but Adobe lists this as Adobe Flash Player, and Version 12.0.9.149 as Adobe Shockwave Player, so wtf is going on

Flash causes us all immense confusion, and Firefox is adding to the problem.
My Firefox Add-ons page lists (under Plugins -- isn't there a difference?) that I have:
Shockwave Flash 12.0.0.70 which is set to "Always Activate".
Adobe websites list:
Adobe Flash Player 12.0.0.70
Adobe Shockwave Player 12.0.9.149
-- so what on earth is the Firefox-listed "Shockwave Flash"?
This simply adds to the utter confusion already surrounding Flash Player -- which I cannot find anywhere amongst my Programs -- but which I can find under "Uninstall or change a Program" where it is listed as "Adobe Flash Player 12 Plugin".
There is also the thorny issue of FlashPlayer vs. FlashPlayerDownloader......
I need a flash of inspiration to get me out of shock -- I'm not waving, I'm drowning!

In the internals of the plugin it is still referenced as Shockwave Flash. That hasn't changed as it would break websites that check for a specific plugin name. You can see that on the about:plugins page and in the properties of the Flash plugins file.
You can open the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer) and paste this JavaScript code in the command line to see how the Adobe Flash Player plugin identifies itself:
<pre><nowiki>console.log(navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash"].name);
console.log(navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash"].description);
</nowiki></pre>
*https://developer.mozilla.org/Tools/Web_Console
On disk you will also see Macromedia for folder names used by the plugin.
*32 bit Windows: C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\
*64 bit Windows: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\
* C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\

I tried clicking on the Adobe Flash Player. It said it accepted it but it did not make a difference.
Can anyone help?

You haven't actually asked a question, but as stated you should only download Flash Player directy from Adobe.
Nor have you said what version of OS X and Safari you are running.
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3 or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

System preferences firewall is off and apps are allowed from anywhere and in Safari other plug ins are allowed and cookies are not blocked and pop up windows are not blocked. Why won't Flash Player download?

Don't DL Flash from web sites. If you have Adobe Flash installed it should be in System Preferences and you can find the latest version and download from there.
If you are installing for the first time,this is where to DL it.
