Help needed to install Flash Player : 'Non-Current Release' problem!

I been encountering problems while trying to install Flash Player on my laptop running Windows 7.
Originally Flash Player does not work as I understand it is not supported on 64-bit Internet Explorer.
After installing 32-bit IE, the following issue of 'non-latest version' arises and all installation were aborted by the application :
The below were steps I had taken to no success.
1.  Via the 32-bit browser, downloaded flash player un-install program and did the uninstallation with success.
2.  Rebooted the laptop.
3.  Via the 32-bit browser, downloaded the flash player version 10.0.45.2 from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer.
4.  After downloading it automatically did the installation with 100% completion.
5. The program proceeded to activate the flash player with a webpage saying if the flash player is working properly, I should see a video and Flash Player's logo.
6.  Before anything was displayed, an error message popped up to say I was trying to install a non-current version and that I should go to same webpage to download the latest version. The activation was then aborted.
Tried many times but always encountered same problem and hence cannot proceed to use the flash player.
Need assistance to diagnose the problem and to get Flash Player working on my laptop. Appreciate any help to get it working.
Regards.

Thanks to efforts of eidnolb and Bob, the installation of flash player into my laptop is now working .
Bob's installer enabled the download successfully.
Eidnolb's link in post 6 trigggered me that I may have previously installed the pre-release version 10.1, thereby leading to the 'non-current-version' problem too. Post in that link adviced to uninstall 10.1 using the pre-release uninstaller.
I suggest others who had encountered this non-current release to uninstall first using that specific uninstaller, before attempting to install the most current release. I may have installed the 10.1 pre-release in desperation after failing numerous times trying to figure out why flash player does not install in browser not knowing its currently-non-support of 64-bit browser.
Once again thanks for support, eidnolb and Bob.
Cheers.
Kelvin

    Hi, with Packager for iPhone you can export your Flash Actionscript 3 app as a native iOS application so there is no need of Flash support on iPad.
    I suggest you to start by reading some info about packager:

  • What userid & password do I need to install Flash Player?

    You do not need an Adobe ID to download Flash Player.  However, your operating system may prompt you for a userid & password during the installation of Flash Player.  That userid & password is the administrator password of your system.
    Windows:
    During the initial installation of Windows, a built-in Administrator account is automatically generated.  The person who installs Windows will be prompted to supply a password for the Administrator account.
    There may be more than one account with administrator privileges.  When installing Flash Player (or Adobe Reader), the operating system will ask you to provide a userid & password with administrator privileges.
    Mac OS:
    When you FIRST turn on your Mac you are asked to choose an administrator password. You need that later when you install or update software. To install or update Flash Player (or Adobe Reader) you need that administrator password.

    A little more detail for Mac users:
    This password prompt is presented by your operating system, and is intended to keep you from accidentally installing software.
    If this is your personal machine and you don't need a password to log into the computer when it first starts up, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to get past this prompt.  If this is your personal machine and your normal password isn't working, check to make sure that CAPS LOCK is off, and type the password carefully.
    If this is your work machine and it's asking for an Administrator password, well, you'll need to have a conversation with your friendly IT person.
    If you're still stumped, you may need to reset the password on your Mac:

  • My computer keeps telling me I need to install flash player when I'm trying to play a game,

    My computer keeps telling me to install/update flash player when I"m trying to play a game, so I do and it tells me its installed. But, when I go play the game again, it tells me again to install flash player to play the game.  I've done this numerous times. I've even uninstalled flash player and reinstalled it, but it still doesnt work.  Why won't my computer let me installupdate flash player??

  • Installing Flash Player Adobe log in problem

    Trying to install new version of Flash Player. Can not get past NAME/ PASSWORD page. I have just spent 2 hours going to my OLD aol account, setting new password and still cannot get in.  That page has "Jane" as my NAME as an auto fill. None of the passwords work with it. I have tried both of my email addresses in place of my "Jane" and nothing works. How do I get this installed???????

    To install Flash Player you need to provide your computer's Administrator password.

    Some malicious site try to get you to install malware by saying yo have to update Flash.
    Only update Flash via Adobe's site.
    What version of Flash is currently installed?
    In System Preferences they may be an entry for Flash in Lion. I do not remember. There is for Yosemite

  • Do I need to install flash player using Win 7 Pro and IE11?

    Hi,
    Could I have a definitive yes/no answer to, "Do I need a flash player plug-in when I am using 64 bit Windows 7 Professional SP1 and IE11?"
    I am using IE11 v.11.0.9600.16476
    Flash v.12.0.0.38
    I am not, as far as I can see, have any problems viewing anything. But Adobe insist I should be using Flash v.12.0.0.43 and they identify my browser as Gecko.
    I understand that Gecko is usually identified as Firefox but is it correctly identified as IE?
    Windows 8.1 with IE11 states that it is a plug-in less browser; but is Windows 7 with IE11 plug-in less or not...???
    Very confusing!
    Regards.

    Flash Player for IE is integrated by Microsoft with Windows 8 and 8.1 only... IE11 is a "rolling train wreck", though. Almost NOTHING on the web can properly identify it if it can be identified at all.  As long as your current Flash Player is working, I'd "let a sleeping dog lie". Until you NEED to update it, don't with IE11.
    With WIn 8.1 it's the worst combination in all computing history. Be glad you still have 7.

  • We are getting a pop up that says we need to install flash player plug in. we tried everything, nothing works

    we can't play any games. it says we need to install additional plug in, for flash player. when we attempt to install, it says we already have the newest version installed. but nothing works. can not find the install anywhere. we had a computer person working on it and she could not figure it out. she tried everything. Do we need to uninstall firefox and reinstall it?

    Could you review your plugins list and see which (if any) Adobe/Shockwave plugins you have now:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category
    When you go to the following download page and choose "Flash Player 11 for Other browsers" and download the installer, what is the actual name of the file that gets saved?
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
    Mine's called "install_flashplayer11x32_mssd_aih.exe"
    Occasionally software installs are not completed until you restart Windows. You might want to try that at some point if you haven't already.
    Adobe has a cleanup tool described in this article where you can scrub out all Flash versions and start again. [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
    I do not recommend uninstalling Firefox.
    You can refresh your Firefox installation or update to Firefox 20 by running the Firefox installer. You do not need to remove the old version first. You can get that download here:
