Adobe Flash Player Distribution - new version 15.0.0.152 available but 14 downloads

[kennysarmy]

When I go to the Adobe Flash Player Distribution page it says the latest version is Flash Player 15.0.0.152 (Win and Mac)

 

However when I hover over the Download MSI Installer link it points to :

 

Custom Action Information

 

Surely this is wrong?

Ooh careful linking to the MSI, Adobe get rather cross about it!

Just change the 14 to 15 in the link...

Adobe are always slow at updating that webpage. Sometimes the version number is wrong.

If they don't want the page accessible it should require login and the distribution agreement.

[localzuk]

Why? They're entitled to have the link only available to people who fill in the agreement. If someone publishes it then they're violating that agreement regardless of any other mechanisms that could put in place.

 

Does that concept apply to your house? Can people just wander in if you haven't got the door locked?

You shouldn't have to update Flash every month for security vulnerabilities. You shouldn't have to jump through hoops to disable update notifications for end users on everything. You shouldn't have to disable important security features like sandboxing in Adobe Reader in order to reliably open PDFs on a network, hardly an advanced use case.

 

But: Adobe.

 

Having to work out the download URL for the MSI yourself because Adobe haven't updated the page properly is, I'm afraid, par for the course. Needs doing more often than not.

I use this:

No agreement to sign up and I can get any version of flash I want.

ActiveX and DLL plugin, EXE and MSI.

That page doesn't have v15.0.0.152?
