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.

Shockwave player does not install

I have a number of Windows XP SP2 computers that are anywhere
from 1 month old to 8-10 months old that are exhibiting this
problem.
I have a disk authored in Director MX2004 (10.1.1) that runs
fine on most all computers that I play it in. There are a number of
computers that are giving a window saying that Shockwave player 10
is not installed and needs to be installed. When you click OK, it
appears that Shockwave is installing.
When we try to re-run the disk, we receive the same message.
I have had the user uninstall the Shockwave player client (through
Windows control panel) and install the standalone executable. Still
no love.
I found that the application runs with (and requests)
Shockwave v.10.2.0.023 (10.2.0.022 works as well). The problem
recurs with version 11.0r429.
*Edit*
Further investigation reveals that if Shockwave 10.x was
installed and you upgrade to version 11.x, the disks will work. The
only time that we receive the error is if you have a fresh install
of Shockwave 11.x installed.
Incidentally, the error says that you need Shockwawve 10
installed to run the package. When you click on the OK button, you
are directed to the download site for Shockwave 10.2.0.023. The
version is listed in the download page, however when Shockwave
installs, version 11.x is being pushed.

Hi Sean,
I appreciate the input. I bought and installed Director MX
2004 (a while back) and I copied off the contents of the disk to my
HDD and found and placed iml32.dll, dirapi.dll and proj.dll and the
CD is exhibiting the same behavior. Are those the only library
files that I would need to have in the folder to make the projector
work? If it were just Xtras that the projector needed, wouldn't
they just be downloaded?
Also, (after much digging and learning), if the required
libraries were not included in the projector, then the CD would not
have run on Shockwave 10 (at least I am pretty sure). That is where
I am confused. If we had seen issues on version 10, then I would
understand, but not when we can run the CD on version 10 and not
11.
As a side note, it is interesting that there was some part of
Shockwave 10 that was obviously not included on 11. If you have 10
installed, it runs. If you have version 10 and you upgrade to
version 11 it will run. Finally, if you have version 11 and the CD
is not working, all you need to do is install version 10 and the CD
will work. If you have a fresh Shockwave installation of 11 and
attempt to install 10, unlike many programs, even though it is
older it will install and run concurrently (I don not think that
you can do that with Flash). Also, if you have 10 installed and
upgrade to 11, there are still many version 10 folders and files
that are left in place which is also unusual.
I know that Director and Shockwave do not have the attention
(let alone the cash flow of Flash) but it seems that the upgrade
path to 11 was not completely thought through. Don't get me wrong,
I love Shockwave but it seems like it is sort of the red-headed
step-child that is slowly being moth-balled even though Adobe is
obviously putting some effort into it.

Two versions installed

Did a security check via secunia and noticed that I had two
versions of flashplayer installed. Adobe Flash and Macromedia Flash
- these were listed individually with the recommendation to
upgrade. I looked for detailed instructions on the adobe site but
did not find anything. I then uninstalled via add/remove the only
apparent version of the Adobe flashplayer and reinstalled the
latest version 9.0.115.0.
Redoing the secunia scan, this is now shown as secure/correct
version but I am still shown the additional version of Macromedia
Flash Player 6.084.0. How can I get rid of this?

You have now two very different Skype versions installed. One is the "modern" (metro) Skype app for Windows 8/8.1 and the other is the Skype for Windows desktop version.
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12189/what-s-the-difference-between-skype-for-modern-windows-and-...
The "modern" Skype has a very limited functionality and customization option.
Skype for Windows desktop has all Skype functions enabled and can be customized.

I really need shockwave for interactive videos for school.Everything used to work well but I don't know what happened.
Please Help me...
How can I successfully install shockwave player?

I had the same problem on an iMac but managed to download and install shockwave 11, see Adobe - Webplayer
There appeared a notice for incompatibility, but was able to continue installation. Apps (not requiring sw 12) did run after.

Confirm Shockwave player file version by looking at a file version?

When I go online it says I have Shockwave Player 11.5.2r602. But I can't see to locate a file anywhere on my computer that when I look at it's file version, it shows that. Does anyone know how I can verify the shockwave player version of a computer by simply looking at the file version of a certain file on that computer?

Thanks!
I couldn’t find the Shockwave Player forum on the main Adobe forums page, thanks for the link also.

Old version of Shockwave Player keeps crashing - installing new version hangs

I had reproducible crashes of FlashPlayer (in all my browsers (IE, FF, Google Chrome and Safari) and on misc. web pages).
I then decided to install the latest version 11.5. Clicking on Install hangs the browser.
Is there a download version of the installer?
The reason I am asking this: I had exactly the same issue with flash player. The web-based installer would always hang, the downloadable installer finally worked. But, alas, Adobe is always hiding the downloadabe installers... :-( )

Adobe is always hiding the downloadabe installers
I'm confident that if you had searched this forum for a link, you'd have found it. Nevertheless, here is the full installer

Installing Shockwave player on Windows x64 for IE9 x64

My computer is running Windows 7 Home Premium x64.
I have upgraded my (32-bit) Shockwave player to version 12.1.3r153, and it appears to be working for IE9 32-bit, and Firefox 28 (32-bit).
I was fairly certain that in the past, I had downloaded and installed a 64-bit Shockwave player for a previous version of Shockwave, but I can't be 100% sure of that.
I'm trying to upgrade/install Shockwave player 12 (64-bit) on this computer for use with IE9 64-bit, but I cannot find the Shockwave 12 64-bit install package download. It appears that there is not a 64-bit version of Shockwave player 12 available.
Where can I download a 64-bit version of Shockwave 12 for Windows 7 x64?
If this is not available, have they abandoned 64-bit for Shockwave?
Is there an older (but fairly recent) version of Shockwave available in a 64-bit version?

There has never been a 64 bit version of Shockwave. You are perhaps confusing it with the Flash Player which does have a 64 bit version

Link to OLD Versions of Shockwave Player

I, like many others, need Shockwave 10 in order to support
Windows 2000 installations. However, it's nowhere to be found on an
Adobe web site. However, according to a recent message to me in a
support case, maybe it will be one day soon:
Please refer to the page below to download older versions of
the
Shockwave player. This page will soon be updated so that
Shockwave 10
will be included in the list of previous versions for
download.
Stand-alone installers for Shockwave Player: previous
versions only
http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_18629
They did not offer any explanation as to why this has been so
long in coming or why this page is so bloody hard to find.

Hello jp acuna,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are seeing/describing, or what the exact message displayed is. If it is asking for an Apple ID in order to activate the iPhone, you may have a phone that has been Activation Locked. If that is the case, you may find the information in the following article helpful:

Shockwave player end-of-life

Secunia PSI tells me that I have two instances of Shockwave Player 10x Version 10.4.1.26 that are end-of-life programs and pose a threat. Locations are:
C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Shockwave 10\SwInit.exe
and
C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Shockwave 10\SwOnce.dll
I have the newest version of Shockwave installed so I don't understand what is happening here.
On PSI forum something was said about Adobe inserting some elements of V10 into V11 for backward compatibility.
So, is this something that was automatically installed by Adobe and should I tell Secunia PSI to ignore these items, or do I need to uninstall and reinstall?
If I tell PSI to ignore, does this mean I'm putting my system at risk? Please help because I am lost.

One of those instances of Shockwave has disappeared from my Secunia psi scan, but one still remains and it is
C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Shockwave 10\SwOnce.dll
I assume that update mentioned must have gone through but why is there still this once instance?

How do I download Adobe Shockwave Player for separate system?

Seems that the install page on the Adobe site is only configured to install the package on the system accessing the download page on the Adobe site. I need access to the installer file so that I can update the version of Shockwave Player that is installed on systems I have that are not and cannot be connected to the Internet.

Resolved. http://www.adobe.com/products/shockwaveplayer/shwv_distribution3.html

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!

Allowing Shockwave Player to run for non-admins

Hi all, I see the following problem on and off for years now, with Adobe Flash and in particular Adobe Shockwave Player.
I have a school that has a Windows 7 lab. Shockwave Player 11.6 is installed as part of the base image. It shows up in "Programs and Features"
After it was initially installed, I tested the plug-in by going to http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome and it worked fine.
The problem I'm having is with non-admin users. Our students aren't local admins. Say they go to a website that has Shockwave content, for example, http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aso/tryit/dna/index.html
When I (with a non-admin student account) click on the link to play the Shockwave content, a pop-up window appears. Then IE 9 displays a message "This webpage wants to run the following add-on: "Adobe Shockwave Player 11.6" from Adobe Systems Incorporated. Allow/Allow for all websites?" I don't want to see this again, so I click Allow for All websites. Then I get another window: "Adobe Shockwave Player is now installing....Installing compatibility components." So far, so good. The problem is, once the installation progress bar gets to the end, Windows User Access control pops up prompting for an admin user account and password to complete the install. Since they don't have an admin account, the install can't complete.
How do I get Shockwave Player to "just work" for non admin users? I see for Flash there is this document at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/987370 about registry permissions, etc. Is there a similar solution for Shockwave Player?
Please help, thanks,
Sir_Timbit

If SW is trying to install compatibility components, be sure to run the full installer before creating your base image
