Shockwave Player downloads incorrect version

I checked my version using the tool on http://helpx.adobe.com/shockwave.html. It came back saying I had an old version. I downloaded Shockwave_Installer_Slim.exe and ran it. It installed (according to my Chrome/plugins page) "Version: 12.1r150 Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 12.1".
I ran the check again and received the message: Sorry, your computer does not have the latest Shockwave Player installed. Please go to step 2.(Your version:12.1 Latest Version:12.0.7.148)
I then ran Shockwave_Installer_Full.exe. I ran the check again and got the same message about not having the latest version.
Um, help.
Chrome on Windows XP
-t.

I have the same problem. I read the latest version is 12.0.7.148. Then I found another post saying the latest is 12.0.9.149. When I go to Adobe the only version they give me to download is 12.1.0.150, but when I run the test it says I have this version but needs to download 12.0.7.148. They don't provide the link to this version. Good Luck getting an answer. I've been trying to get help for several hours now. Posts after mine is getting help.......I guess we're on our own. No one seems to have an answer. *shrugs*

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.

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!

Old "Shockwave Player Download Center" url still works (Shockwave v10)

This URL still works for download Shockwave 10.x:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=Shockwave%3fLang=Span ish&P5_Language=Spanish
It should be redirected to the new download center.

I contacted PSIRT again about the version number and this is their answer:
Thank you again for contacting us.
The MSI version will remain 11.5.10.620 due to limitations in MSI versioning. Reasons include requirements of a higher patch version (9 to 10) from the previous MSI 11.5.9.615, the MSI upgrade is required (otherwise users will have to uninstall Shockwave and then re-install again), and the 11.5.10.620 version will be shown only in Add/Remove Programs and Run-Advertised programs in case of SMS installation. This being said, the files installed using the MSI will have version 11.5.9.620, which is the same as other Shockwave installers. Plus, the version # in the registry will appear as 1159620 for all Shockwave installers (this also includes the MSI installer). The right registry key to look for the current Shockwave version is 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Shockwave 11\currentupdateversion'.
We hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have additional questions.

Where do you download archive verison of Adobe Shockwave Player 11.6

Where do you download archive verison of Adobe Shockwave Player 11.6 version 11.6.5.635 I can find the adobe reader archive downloads but can source the area to download shock wave!
Thank you

The only archived Shockwave Player versions I found is 7 and 8 at http://helpx.adobe.com/shockwave/kb/stand-alone-installers-shockwave-player.html
You may need to go to a 3rd-party site like http://www.oldapps.com/shockwave.php

Shockwave Player two versions installed.

I am using Adobe Shockwave Player 11.6 on Windows XP Pro and I.E.8. Windows Add/Remove Programs lists as installed programs both Shockwave Player 11.6 and Shockwave player 11.5. Can I safely uninstall version 11.5 without afftecting 11.6 or Adobe Flash?
I'd appreciate your opinion.
O S

I had to Uninstall both 11.5 and 11.6 versions of Adobe Shockwave Player than reinstall version 11.6. All is fine now.

Non-functional installs for Shockwave Player in Firefox

The online install for flash does not work for WIN XP-PRO SP 3, Firefox 31.0, in installing the Shockwave Player. It installs Flash Player, but not Shockwave Player.The manual install from the downloaded file :
   Shockwave_Installer_Full.exe
   version 12.1.3.153
Is also not fully functional for this.
The web page "https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/" says that I have Flash Player version 14,0,0,179 installed
However the page for testing the "Adobe Shockwave Player" (https://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/) always says that I need to download a plugin.
Clicking the install link on the this test page for SHOCKWAVE PLAYER does not yield a functioning install either.
Eventually, after a lot of wandering our the Adobe web site, I went to the troubleshooting page and then on to the alternative installs page at :
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/alternates/
- note that NONE of the items listed on the alternative installer page, say that they work in FIREFOX!! None of them.
I had to go into the System Requirements link (http://www.adobe.com/products/shockwaveplayer/productinfo/systemreqs/) for a table that is about IE and Netscape installs, just to find out that "11" might ALSO work in Firefox. This is a large oversight. Most people will not click the system requirements for a browser they do not use, in order to get the browser they DO use to run SHOCKWAVE.
Adobe really needs to fix their onllne install to work better. I have been complaining about these issues (and others, with never-ending installs that don;t work) for over a year. They also need to fix the web page ( http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/alternates/ ) to state that it works in FIREFOX, not just IE.
- again - Most people will not click the system requirements for a browser they do not use, in order to get the browser they DO use to run SHOCKWAVE.

What exactly does that mean? What happens when you run that installer?
I know that the Shockwave Player download page just mentions IE and Netscape; that is probably because most non-IE browsers are really based on the original Netscape architecture, and the plugins are still the same (NPAPI).
The page also says "Shockwave Player 11", although Shockwave has been at version 12 for quite a while. I have tried to get Adobe to update that page, but it seems to be an impossible task!

Where can I download a Flash/Shockwave player that works with Deer Park in XP x64?

Where can I download a Flash/Shockwave player that works with
Deer Park 64bit in Windows XP Pro x64?
Before some Macromedia employee says, "When there is a retail
version", Microsoft said that XP Pro x64 is an OEM release that
anyone can Buy for their AMD64/EM64T PCs only, There will be no
retail version as there are 32bit PCs out there still and XP Pro
x64 will not work on a 32bit Compatible PC, Only on a 64bit
AMD64/EM64T PC and not an Itainium PC either, 64bit or
otherwise.

Bump!

Shockwave Player Version

Hello, I have inserted a Director Shockwave movie into my site by clicking on INSERT--MEDIA--SHOCKWAVE--MOVIENAME.
When I preview, I get the following error message:
"This page is referenced to an incorrect version of Shockwave".
I have the most recent version of Director Shockwave (11.5.0.596) . This site was created with an html page. When I inserted the ".dcr" file, the following code was created:
<object classid="clsid:166B1BCA-3F9C-11CF-8075-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/director/sw.cab#version=10,0,0,0" width="32" height="32">

      <embed src="kidvoice.dcr" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/" width="32" height="32"></embed>
    </object>
I changed the cab#version from a 10 to an 11 and then to 11.5 and then to 11.5.0.596 thinking that would do the trick.
Any suggestions? Thanks for the help, Bluejays86
