Security update available for Adobe Flash Player

Thanks for alerting us.

Direct download link for the people that need to go through hoops to get it.

 

Does anyone know of a way to grab the NPSWF32.dll Flash file directly, so as to update Flash without having to use Adobe's installer? I don't want any startup programs or download managers.

Unfortunately, universal file extractor no longer functions on the distributed .exe, it seems.

 

Just install the standalone installer: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/support/index.html. It comes with Flash only, nothing else.

 

I was unaware that the standalone installer functioned as such. Thank you, good sir. I appreciate the assistance!

 

Thanks for the links/info guys

 

What about Linux?

I've got 10.0.22.

Adobe labs only states 10.1

 

Thanks, though that is only the plugin version(Firefox, Opera etc) here is also the ActiveX version (Internet Explorer)

And an uninstaller tool to uninstall the old version correctly:

(sometimes after a flash update, Secunia PSI would still report vulnerable versions, it is correct because sometimes some vulnerable files are still left. To do it correctly: close any application that uses flash(including PSI), run uninstall tool, reboot, run installer(s), now you have a correct install with no vulnerable files)

 

the eternal plugging of the dam continues at Adobe...

 

Hi J_L, how big is the file? If it's a biggie I'll have to make special arrangements

In edit:
It was under 3MB. I went for the non-IE version (without the ActiveX). Installed after uninstalling the older one using Add/Remove in the Control Panel of WinXP3.

 

Thanks for the alert.

 

One other option from Adobe, suggested over at the avast forums: use their "other versions" download page, http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/, which supposedly will also give you Flash only, without the DM.

It's recommended you download both versions (active-x and the other one for everything besides IE) so that everythng onboard is updated.

 

As a further method, I can verify that this method is remarkably simple and painless for Opera users. Just copy the relevant file to the appropriate location, and you're good to go. I checked the md5 of the NPSWF32.dll file hosted on that page against the NPSWF32.dll I obtained direct from Adobe. They match up.

This method may work for other browsers, but I'm uncertain.
