Are Adobe Flash Player updates cumulative?

It seems to be a difficult task to find the straight answer to the following question: Are Adobe Flash Player updates cumulative?
If I apply the newest existing Flash Player update (APSB15-02) to the bare-bone machine will this cover all previously disclosed vulnerabilities?
Is this the same for SCUP distributed updates? Can someone guide me to any documentation available? If I publish latest patch through SCUP will my systems be protected as if I would download it manually?
Thank you in advance!

Hello CrazyGonzo,
Yes, ALL Flash Player install files are cumulative. Every release contains all previous features, bug fixes, and security fixes. There is no need to install a specific version and then apply a patch to cover some security release. Hope this answers your question.

Adobe Flash Player Update Service 11.3 r300 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are

I get following message:
Adobe® Flash® Player Update Service 11.3 r300 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
How can I solve this?

People,
Listen. This service is, has been and seemingly will be: FREE. So while emotions are running on the hot side of the guage, let's remember; it is FREE. Adobe owes no one anything. Now who's to blame, really? We, the people are to blame. Why? Because everyone has been ok with the fact that one company essentially designed and released a technology for streaming from the net. One company. And almost all of us are using this one company's technology to stream; for FREE.
But now we are not ok with it when, after we are prompted to update, we have the issue of it not working? We all never saw the ridiculously high potential for this one company to screw things up, intentionally or otherwise? What the ramifications, that we are now experiencing, might be? Nah, we just took it for granted that we would continue to be served. Well the serve came, everyone. Mistake or otherwise.
It's like this country [US], up until four-years ago. Everyone was either running around with snow shovels and hefty garbage bags to gather all the money they were making or sailing the seas of expectation and an, 'I am out there to get mine' attitude, and then the sh*t hits the fan and now people are complaining? About the very system until four years ago was spoon feeding them poolside with mai-tai's? While it was crushing everyone else in the known world?
No doubt it seems incredulous that a multi-billion dollar company has an IT department that would include in an update, for their own software, that would be inconducive to working. No doubt. But keep in mind: we are all either using browsers by Apple or MS. Anything happens to these browsers, including a virus or anything else that threatens our use of them and...?
So climb off the haughty, 'I deserve' crap and walk on the solid ground of trying to resolve this issue here at Adobe and around the net. If we were to band together, as the 99%, we could solve this, no problem. But then that holds true with resolving this fictitious economic downturn nonsense, that we solidly take for truth at face value, because our mainstream media says so. But no other species on this rock flying through space would know what the f*ck we were talking about.

How do I install adobe flash player update

I've downloaded the adobe flash player update. It says thank you, here are some more products I might like, such as photo shop etc. I don't want them.
But I still can't play videos on youtube etc.

First uninstall all previous versions of flash player by using Flash Player Uninstaller then install Adobe Flash Player Software.

Running without Adobe Flash Player Updater Scheduled Task

I'm trying to understand how to avoid installing Adobe Flash Player Updater Scheduled Task.
I am also unable to remove the Scheduled Task using a script that works on other tasks, on the same workstations.
Is there an mms.cfg setting that will instruct the installer to skip the Task?
1) Uninstall the Scheduled Task from all workstations in my environment.
2) Install future updates without the Scheduled Task.
I have already tried mm.cfg with these lines:
AutoUpdateDisable=1
SilentAutoUpdateEnable=0
It still runs the update process every hour.
I have explained that it hasn't been causing a problem, but running this many processes on so many computers for no reason is causing some concern.
My organization also does not allow big bang automation included with this product.
Has anyone managed to shut off the Updater process from running?
Thank you

Hi Ethan,
try creating an MST file, with Fx, Wise package studio...
Edit the CustomAction “NewCustomAction1” added the parameter “-au 2” to the Command line argument.
you should do that for both:
install_flash_player_11_active_x.msi
and
install_flash_player_11_plugin.msi
If you are using both of them..
Or you can delete the scheduled task with schtask /delete "taskname"

Error: Flash Player "Adobe Flash Player Update Service 11.3 r300 has encountered a problem ..."

I get the following message as soon as I boot up my PC:
"Adobe Flash Player Update Service 11.3 r300 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
Anyone else experiencing the same problem?
According to Adobe, this is the first time they've heard of this issue.

RE:

Unchecking auto updates does not stop the message for me.
Sorry to hear that too. I actually recommended this to a few friends who were having the same issue, and it worked for them.
But, I'm wondering.... Have you tried disabling the check for updates settings in both the (Window's Control Panel's) Global settings manager and the (online) Global Notifications Settings panel? (That's the one on this page -- http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager02.htm l ) On that page, click on the "Globe with the Check Mark" tab and make sure that the box is blank.
Hope this helps.

Adobe Flash Player Update crash

"Adobe Flash Player Update Service 11.3 r300 has encountered a problem ..."
I'm trying to answer this question, but don't know how to do it. So I'm starting new discussion.
I’ve had this problem for over a month and have reinstalled adobe flash player multiple times.
But now, I think I finally have the answer.
My tech downloaded the adobe flash player “installer” today.
But I think the key is to
1) start / run,
2) enter “services.msc,
3) go to adobe flash player update services
4) right click to get to properties
5) change startup type to ‘Automatic” and service status to “Stopped”.

I stumbled upon something that worked although I don't know why the two items are related. I was resetting FireFox in another attempt to get the latest Flash player to work and noticed that my Java Console was disabled. I don't remember ever disabling it but I turned it back on and suddenly, the Flash player stopped crashing.
Maybe this will help someone else.

Installing Adobe Flash Player Update 10.3

This is my fist time here. I have a HP Pavilion Windows XP computer. My access to the Internet is only through the latest version of Mozilla Firefox.
When I try to play a video connected to a news story, etc, I get this small box asking if I want to install Adobe Flash Player Update 10.3. When. I click on yes, I get another box saying I have to close Mozilla Firefox. Well if I close that, I have no Internet connection. Sort of Catch 22. Don't know why Adobe wants me to close my Internet connectiion and then to try to install its software. Not doable as far as I know.
Are recommendations for dealing/resolving this situation?

You're posting to the wrong forum. This forum is about Acrobat on the
Windows platform, not about Flash.
However, usually the internet connection is not dependent on the browser.
You have an internet connection and you just use the browser to access the
internet, so there shouldn't be a problem downloading and installing Adobe
Flash even with Firefox closed.

Adobe Flash Player Update Service 11.6 r602 Stopped Working & was closed

The title above is the Windows error flag I keep getting. I am running Windows Vista 32 basic with IE 9. and Flash Player version 11.7.700.224... I have tried an uninstall (which says it worked) and then a reinstall of Flash Player (which also says it worked; and appears to be truely working) but I keep getting the message box about the update service which is annoying at the least. Is there a reference to 11.6 r602 that should have been erased? (I'm assuming this was the 'OLD' flash player number) or is this an actual problem/ conflict? Did some recent Microsoft Update monkey with the Flash Player Update program? What do you suggest?

I also discovered that an additonal copy of 11.6r602 was hiding in C:/Windows/system32. it is also possible that a copy is in C:/Windows/system32/macromed.
Important: Read the NOTE: (below at bottom) first before attempting this.
If you use Windows Explorer and find it there try and delete them/it. If they/it are/is stubborn:
Try 1.) Rt.click on an open area of the task bar; Click Task Manager. 2.) Click the 'Processes' tab. 3.)Try to find the "Adobe Flash Player Update Service 11.6 r602" description and highlight it. 4.) Click 'End Process'. 5.) Close the Task Manager.
Then Try to delete again. If it is Still being stubborn:
Try a.)Close Windows Explorer. b.)Rt.click on Windows Explorer icon; Rt. click on "Run as Administrator". c.) go find the offending file and highlight it. d.)Rt. click on the highlighted file and Rt.Click on delete. e.)authorize the delete. and close windows explorer.
Then, Finally: Rt.click on and EMPTY the 'RECYCLE BIN' !!! Restart your computer and go see if you can find any trace of the offending file. It Should NOT be there.
NOTE: Do NOT do any of the above until you read the next paragraph!
The file that you are looking for is 'FlashPlayerUpdateService.exe' The 'exe ' may not be displayed. but you are supposed to find a copy of 'FlashPlayerUpdateService.exe' in C:/Windows/system32/macromed/flash. BUT it is a Later Version.
Hover your cursor over the name and read the version. if it is NOT 'file version 11.6.602.180' LEAVE IT ALONE. If it IS that version Delete it.
This is what worked for me.

Adobe Flash Player update 11 gave me a virus

The newest adobe flash player update gave my computer a virus that required me doing a system restore and completely removing adobe flash player from my system. It was sending spam emails in different languages and spam videos. It was able to slip through my virus scan in the initial download but was found after I scanned it again when I began having problems. I need flash player to do online school work, but cannot have my computer spammed, infected, and crashing anymore. Is there any way this can be fixed so I can use it without problems. Most people I know who have tried updating it have not been able to because their virus scan wont allow them to do it and it comes up as a dangerous file. Please help

Download Flash Player only from the Adobe.com website, not any dubious 3rd-party download site.
Here are the installers for Windows: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header

Adobe Flash Player Update Service 11.6 r602 stopped working and was closed?

After trying many different fixes including uninstalling flash player and unsuccessfully trying to reinstall it, would consistently stop loading at about 57 percent. Either there are remains of registry keys interfering or your site or my computer has been attacked. No malware showing after checking with antivirus. Seen same message on other computers. Had to restore computer to earlier date but lost some contact info in the process in Skype. Possible problem from trying to install internet tv software, but restored to previous point there to. Computer works ok but slowed on internet considerably but message shows continuously daily need a better solution or let your site analyze my flash player. What can I do?
adobeloug

thank you for your info, I did edit the question to show I was using vista (business to be specific). I will try again with some afterthoughts. Will enable Java first. I remember that was a problem in a previous update, I thought that was always running and go through the steps again. I don't feel comfortable messing with the registry and if you can add some advice on how to deal with that safely that would be appreciated also. Thank you so much for your quick response. Also, isupgrade to explorer 10 recommended for vista or is it suppose to accommodate windows 8. I don't want to be a beta tester before they work out all the kinks sincerelyadobelougLou Grubin

Mac OS X version 10.6.8. I keep getting "blocked plug-in" messages. Adobe Flash player update won't upload. Suggestions?

Mac OS X version 10.6.8. I keep getting "blocked plug-in" messages. Adobe Flash player update won't upload. Suggestions?

You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. 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 (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser, but check this also:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5655?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US which also covers ‘blocked plug-in’.
