samba_man Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Last week I setup an internal Flash Player update server using the instructions written by Adobe for Flash Player 11.3. The silly thing is that in the repositories the highest version of the ActiveX plugin that can be downloaded is 11.2 while the plugin is 11.3! I've posted this on the Adobe forums and am still waiting back. 11.3 must have been out for a few weeks already. I dont know!
AngryTechnician Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Adobe routinely forget to publish updates to the sources they use for mass distribution. I've had to prompt them at least 3 times on Twitter in the last year to update the ones you get via the distribution agreement. To their credit, they have fixed it each time, but it shouldn't really be up to customers to tell them this stuff.
Arthur Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 11.3 must have been out for a few weeks already. I dont know! Flash Player v11.3 was released on 08/06/2012 (25 days ago!).
MatthewL Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 There is a problem with 11.3 and I have had to uninstall it because it crashes it out.
SYNACK Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 I did not think it was possible but I think that Flash is actually getting worse, roll on IE10 and dare I say it Chrome with Flash carefully isolated inside so that its vile evilness can't leak out to the rest of the system. 1
Gatt Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Gotta say, since moving to Chrome, I've had very little problems with Flash Only recently convinced my wife, a firefox stalwart, to shift to Chrome after getting regular crashes and system freezes when using Flash inside FF... I'm hoping HTML5 gets a good foothold and start pushing flash out...
mavhc Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Why is it the software the needs updating the most have the worst MSIs, flash, shockwave, quicktime, java, chrome...

garethEds Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Page 19 of the Flash Player v11.3 Administration Guide... www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player_admin_guide.html Thanks for that. A quick look through - what a fuss for a small msi. No wonder it annoys everyone. Gareth
