Old version of Flash in Chrome on Mac
I'm using a Macintosh running Mavericks (10.9.5), Chrome 38.0.2125.122, and according to adobe.com, I have Flash version 15,0,0,223 in Chrome and should have version 15.0.0.242. It sounds like my system is quite a bit behind on Flash versions. I just got back from a cruise where I had very limited internet connectivity -- don't know if that contributed to the problem. I don't remember ever installing any special version of Flash, and don't see any Flash related extensions.
I tried trashing the google chrome.app from the Macintosh, emptied the trash, and reinstalled google chrome from a download. I see exactly the same thing - same bookmarks, same extensions and -- most importantly, adobe.com still says Flash reader is at version 15.0.0.223; any idea of what's going on?

How can I download an old version of Flash?
The newest version of Flash broke my billing system back
office. The developers of this billing system are based overseas
and are extremely unreliable so I cannot depend on them to fix this
in a timely manner. It could be 2 days or 2 months. I just don't
know.
In other words, the newest version of flash broke the program
I need to do my job. I need to rollback to a previous version as
soon as possible.
I found a file on this forum called "fp9_archive.zip" which
contains old versions of flash. However, everytime I try to install
any version besides 9r124. I get this error:
"MessageBox: 12582960,"The version of Adobe® Flash®
Player ActiveX that you are trying to install is not the most
current version.
Please visit
http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer
to obtain the latest, most secure version."
Please help me! I am not a developer or an IT guy. I am just
an accountant who foolishly clicked "update flash" when I was
spammed to update it. Now I am banging my head against the wall
because there are no clear and concise directions on how to roll it
back.Jason,
I am no expert but I was looking to solve a problem I have

How to get previous versions of Flash Player (Note: Adobe
supports and recommends the latest Flash Player.)
If you are a Flash developer and require a previous version
of Flash Player for testing detection schemes, refer to "Archived
Flash Players available for testing purposes" (
TechNote
tn_14266).
Adobe has made these archived players available for download
at the request of the Flash developer community. Adobe Technical
Support does not provide support for the installation or use of
these old players. These are not intended for general use.
The following may help you solve your problem.
Error while installing older version: The version of Adobe Flash
Player ActiveX that you are trying to install is not the most
current version
If you previously installed a later version of Flash Player
for Internet Explorer, you may be prevented from installing an
earlier version. For example, if you installed Flash Player
9,0,115,0, and attempted to install version 9,0,47,0 the
installation would fail. In this case follow the instructions in
"Safe versions security restrictions when installing Flash Player"
TechNote
kb402435).
Here is more information I found about unistalling that may help
you.
But I would try TechNote kb402435 above first because it
looks like it is directly related to your problem.
Uninstall all previous versions.
Before you install Flash Player for any Windows browser,
uninstall all previous versions. For instructions on removing the
player, please see "How to uninstall the Adobe Flash Player plug-in
and ActiveX control" (
TechNote
14157).
Note: All applications must be closed before you run the
Flash Player uninstaller. Quit all running applications, including
all Internet Explorer or other browser windows, and all Instant
Messenger clients. Check the Windows system tray carefully to make
certain no applications which might possibly use Flash Player are
still in memory.
Good luck.
Regards,
Bob -

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.

Old versions of flash installed with Photoshop
It is not clear to me if this is the correct place to post this question, but I hope this is a better place than in the forum on flash in web browsers. If anyone can suggest a better place to post this, please let me know.
I have kept the copy of flash that I use with Firefox up to date; it is now at 10.0.22.87 and is correctly (I believe) installed in c:\windows\system32\macromed\flash.
The other day I installed a recently purchased copy of Photoshop CS4 and then ran the updates that were offered for that.
I use the excellent Secunia Personal Software Inspector (secunia.com) to tell me when I have insecure out of date software installed and it now tells me that I have older copies of flash components as follows:
- in d:\program files\adobe\adobe extension manager CS4\ I have NPSWF32.dll v 9.0.124.0
- in the ...\adobe\adobe device central\required\opera\program\plugins I have v 9.0.115.0 of the same dll (and I do nt use Opera!)
- and in ...\adobe\adobe bridge CS4\browser\plugins\ I have the same dll at level 9.0.124.0.
Given that some of the Flash updates were to fix security holes, why do I now find myself with newly installed out of date flash components?
I have tried running the flash removal and reinstall tool from the Adobe website but that did not touch the out of date copies in the Photoshop folders.
Why do I have to have multiple copies of Flash on my system? One should be enough and it would be easier to keep up to date.
How do I update these old copies of Flash? I am wary of just deleting the old copies.... There probably lies trouble!
David H-SThe way I always used to get old versions of the installer was to download from the link corresponding to the release I wanted. All of these links appear to now point to the same version. Here are the links for the Netscape compatible and ActiveX installers under each of the three listed versions (clearly all pointing to the same file)...

Installing an old version of Flash on a Macbook Air
Hi, I have an old 10.6GHz Macbook Air which I need to install Adobe Flash onto. The newest version requires a 10.83GHz processor or faster. Is it possible to download an older version of Flash that will be compatible with my slower processor?
ThanksHello,
I'm thinking you have a few typos. Do you mean 1.6GHz and 1.83GHz, instead of 10.6GHz and 10.83GHz? Either way, the latest version of Flash Player will work fine on 1.6GHz. The tech specs list the specs for optimal performance, but if your system is a bit lower than what's listed, it should still work fine.

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)?
thanksIt'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.

For security reason, do we have to uninstall old version of Flash Player ?
Hello,
I actually want to deploy the last version of Flash Player (plugin and activex) on my computer network.
After installing the latest version (v10.1), I have seen that my old .ocx files where deleted automatically from the folder "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash" but one file remains Flash10e.ocx (and I have the latest version too Flash10h.ocx).
In my logfile, I have this :
Delete ....
Delete: "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashUtil10.exe"
Delete: "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashUtil10a.exe"
End Call Uninstallers
File: overwriteflag=4, allowskipfilesflag=2, name="Flash10e.ocx"
File: wrote 3981080 to "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash10e.ocx"
IfFileExists: file "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash10e.ocx" exists, jumping 352
File: overwriteflag=4, allowskipfilesflag=2, name="FlashUtil10e.exe"
File: wrote 256280 to "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashUtil10e.exe"
End Main Section
Is is normal that I am still having the Flash10e.ocx ? Was it because my browser was opened during the silent installation of Flash ?
Thanks !Hi,
thanks for your answer.
It's quite difficult to deploy the new version of Flash or 5000 computers with this method .
It's quite difficult to force users to close their browser each time I would like to update an Adobe product (moreover, not every users are online during the deployment etc...).
I have updated my Adobe Flash while IE was opened and it seems to work (except the fact that I have one another .ocx file that I dont want).
Thanks -
Old versions of Flash debug player on site
The Flash Player Downloads page (http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html) has a number of older versions of the Flash Debug Player available for download. There are links to both 10.0.42.34 and 10.0.32.18 versions. However, these links appear to all point to the installer for the latest version, 10.0.45.2. Can anyone else confirm this / is there another way to get these files?

How on earth can I download the newest version of Flash Player on my Mac, OS X Yosemite?
I have tried approximately 17 times to download Flash, but keep getting stuck at the login page. When I log in to Adobe.com using my ID and password, i'm able to sign in. But when i get to the download phase of the current version of Flash, I'm asked to provide Adobe ID and password again. They are rejected. Beyond frustrated. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
ElyAndrew, i hope you receive this cuz i can't figure out how to thank you on

How do I remove an old version of Flash from addons after updating?
I recently updated from Firefox 5.0 after a long period of not-updating to Firefox 22.0, and immediately had to update Flash (which I also hadn't updated in awhile as in FF5.0 updating past 11.2.202.235 borked Youtube). However, now I have two different listings in the Add-ons Manager for Flash, one for 11.8.800.94 and another, flagged as 'Shockwave Flash is known to be vulnerable and should be updated', for 11.2.202.235. I tried manually disabling it, but the next time I opened Firefox they were both disabled. Also, I'm having issues with Youtube videos stuttering and chugging (although, oddly, with no apparent drops in framerate) in Firefox after updating, that don't happen in Chrome, and I'm wondering if somehow thiis might be the cause?
So I was wondering, is there a way to remove the 'old' Flash from Firefox? I already checked add/remove programs and there is only one Flash 11 there, at the date it was updated.Yes this is caused by a flash install problem, try removing it from the control panel (Both) and try again.
