How to install old version of Flash Player ActiveX

Hello,
I have to install Flash Player ActiveX 10.1.x or 10.3.x because it is required by my application. 11.x version I tried made issues.
I downloaded various 10.x versions : they all told me that this version is not the newest => I can only quit the installation.
How can I avoid that message ?
What does Adobe care which version I want to install because I have to ????? 
Thank you for your help !

Please run the appropriate uninstaller linked below.  That should allow you to run older installers without receiving that error.
Windows 32-bit: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash _player_32bit.exe
Windows 64-bit: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash _player_64bit.exe
Thanks,

  • How to install older versions of Flash Player(ActiveX) in Win 8?

    Hello all,
    How to install older version of Flash Player in Windows 8? and how to uninstall default Flash Player that come from IE10 in Windows 8?
    Actually I want to install Adobe_Flash_Player_(IE)_v11.7.700.224.exe in Windows 8.
    Is it possible to overcome this issue? If it is not, could you share me your information on this issue?
    Thanks in advance.
    RK.

    Thank you for reply..
    Actually i uninstalled the existing version of Flash Player from my Windows 8 PC, but when i tried to install the older version, it was not allowing me to install and was showing that my browser is included with latest version.
    Even i followed the below given websites, it didn't given any remedy for it.

    So that my PC is restricting the older version installation from somewhere which holds the version information and that user cannot modify/delete that information. If i know that mystery i can install any version of Flash Player in my Windows 8.
    I hope i will find this.
    Thanks for your support.

  • How to get and install old (version 8) Flash player ActiveX in IE?

    I would like to install old Flash Active X controls into IE
    in order to test if our software detects the version
    properly.
    If I download and install the old players available at
    www.adobe.com
    these do not seem to install the activeX: there are no
    Flash*.ocx files
    or registry entries as indicated in
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=b0dba60b&sliceId=2
    I have searched the knowledgebase/forums and posted in the
    Flash player forum
    but did not find/get an answer...
    Bye

    When I goto 'http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/' , it just keep displaying the following message without any option to download a standalone installer for offline installing:
    This content requires a newer version of the Flash Player. Please download and install the latest version of Flash Player from the Windows Update site before continuing.
    If you are using the Metro style browser, please confirm you have allowed updates to the Compatibility View list as follows: 
    Open IE on the Desktop
    From the Tools menu, click Compatibility View settings
    Check Download updated compatibility lists from Microsoft
    If you don't see the Tools menu, press and hold on the title bar, this will show the context menu, check the Menu bar.

    Hello,

  • How to uninstall old versions of Flash player?

    I have the latest version of the Flash Player (9.0.28.0)
    installed.
    However when I run Secunia's software inspector (
    http://secunia.com/software_inspector/?task=load)
    it finds an old version of the Flash 7.0.19.0 and flags it as
    'Insecure'.
    This is in two places:
    C:/WINDOWS/system32/Macromed/Flash/Flash.ocx
    and
    C:/I386/Flash.ocx
    How can I uninstall the old version - I do not see Flash
    Player in Add/Remove of Windows (Win XP SP2)?
    thanks

    It's quite handy, actually, and I suspect relatively new. It
    checks your machine for outdated/unsafe applications:
    http://secunia.com/software_inspector
    And of course it's totally free.
    How can I verify what version(s) of Flash that I might have
    loaded? There's no Program Files entry or anything in Add/Remove,
    etc. OTOH, the Secunia site shows where at least part of the
    product(s) are loaded, yet it's not totally clear to me if those
    locations are in use by the current version.

  • Installing multiple versions of Flash Player

    I am running Windows 7 x64, and curently have Google Chrome running in addition to IE 8.  Has anyone installed multiple versions of Flash Player to support both browsers...IE and Chrome?
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, there are two Flash Player versions; one is the ActiveX for Internet Explorer, and the other one is the plugin for all other browsers, e.g. Firefox, Chrome, etc.
    Just go to the FP download page with each browser type, then do the install. IE will install the ActiveX, the other browser will install the plugin. (Once you install the plugin, it will work for all non-IE browsers.)

  • Are old versions of Flash Player available?

    Are old versions of flash player available?

    You can get FP 9 by specifying an older OS version at http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
    Older FP versions can be downloaded from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html

  • Hosting old versions of Flash Player

    Is there any official word about hosting old versions of flash player?  I have a large number of .swf files that were created using Articulate Presenter 5.4 which converted them from powerpoint files.  Under the latest version of Flash player they don't play.  When using the beta version up on labs most work, but a few with box/circle in animations don't.  The only solution that doesn't break any .swf files is downgrading to 10.0.42.34.  This is totally an Articulate issue and I am talking with them about a fix; I just thought it prudent to provide some background to my question.  I am aware of http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html but it is a little ridiculous to ask them to download 157 MB to get the 1.83/1.86 MB file they need.  I'd like to host the older version so that people having a problem can choose to download it, but I am not sure as to Adobe's stance on this issue, so if anyone out there can fill me in/point me in the right direction it would be appreciated.

  • How to avoid installing newer version of flash player

    Hey,
    After installing the newer version of flash player it caused troubles to me, and I don't see any way but to install an older version of Flash Player, however after I have installed it the game forces me to Install the newest version of Flash Player, otherwise it cannot run. So here is my question. How can I use an older version of Flash Player I had before without installing the newer version of it?

    Hi, You can go to this test site to see if you have Flash Player Installed on your 10.6.5 Mac.
    http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    Then this link has info on how to Uninstall Flash Player (if needed) and Install the latest version. It is a step by step.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html  
    After reading that info and you just need to Install, then this link would be easier:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
    Flash Player is a browser plugin and as long as your browser is supported by Adobe Flash Player, then you shouldn't have any problem.
    Hope that helps,

  • Installing previous version of flash player

    Up front:
    I know - I know - I am in the wrong group/forum.
    But
    a) when posting earlier I got something of a not authorized error

    c) my endless searches for a forum admin regretfully remained in vain
    As my last restort I am posting here...

    Hi,
    The implementations of Flash Player in Chrome, Internet Explorer and Firefox (and even Firefox between WinXP and Win7) are all significantly different software. 
    In the face of the modern security threat landscape, one of the security-in-depth measures we've taken is an approach called sandboxing, which attempts to isolate the Flash Player processes that deal with untrusted content, and handles that content while operating with the least privileges possible.  This way if a potential exploit does slip through our defenses and our process ends up under the control of malicious code, that code lacks the permission to do anything interesting.  A more technical explanation of the approach can be found here: http://blogs.adobe.com/asset/2012/06/inside-flash-player-protected-mode-for-firefox.html
    All of this additional processing and communication comes at a cost, and the sandboxing approaches in Chrome, IE and Firefox are significantly different.  Modern Chrome and IE browsers impose sandboxing on plug-ins at an architectural level, while we've retrofitted a sandboxing approach to Firefox. 
    A retrofitted approach is necessarily less efficient, and you're seeing a bottleneck there as we pass each downloaded packet through multiple processes in order to achieve the necessary level of isolation.  We've already tuned this significantly.  I think you would see a performance jump in Firefox if you went back to Flash Player 10, because you would have a version that pre-dates protected mode.
    Long story short, diagnosing network problems using Flash is probably not the best approach.
    The bandwidth measurement tool is downloading data through Flash because it makes it easy to write a pretty user interface.  This is probably not representative of most of the things you're downloading, aside from streaming video.
    The version of Flash installed isn't going to affect a typical file download in the browser, or your BitTorrent throughput.
    Having one sample for each browser isn't enough to draw any meaningful conclusions.  There are too many possible factors that could affect throughput to allow you to use a small sample.  This data is going to be very noisy.   At minimum, you'd want dozens of samples at various time periods for each target.
    There are excellent, purpose-built network diagnostic tools available for conducting a meaningful analysis.
    With respect to the confusion about what asset to install:
    Our archived versions are intended for use by Flash developers with an understanding of the technology.  All of these versions have known security vulnerabilities, and we absolutely do not recommend them for general web browsing.  You should always run the current version of Flash Player.
    Internet Explorer uses ActiveX controls for plug-ins.  Most other browsers use the Netscape Plug-In API (NPAPI Plug-In).  Chrome and Chromium-based browsers use a more modern PPAPI (Pepper Plug-in API Architecture).
    So for Internet Explorer, you want the flashplayer10_3r183_20_winax.exe (win = Windows, ax = ActiveX) installer.
    When a website presents you with an "Install Flash" message, that message is generated by JavaScript on the page.  Sometimes that JavaScript makes bad assumptions (like Internet Explorer or Flash versions will be single-digits) or they require a minimum version of Flash because they're dependent on Features in those versions, or want to encourage you to be secure.
    Hope that helps!

  • Problems installing debugger version of flash player

    I tried to install the debugger version of flash player on a Windows 7 64 bit machine using Firefox as my browser, but got the following installation error:"The version of Adove Flashplayer that you are trying to install is not the most current version. Please visit the Player Download Center to obtain the latest, most secure version." Of course I did this several times and restarted my computer.
    Originally, I used the 64 bit variant of Firefox (Waterfox) as my default browser, but because the debugger is 32 bit only, I switched to Firefox (32 bit). However, this did not help. Any ideas?
