Are these correct files for flash player 11.2.202.229?

Apr 2, 2012 10:55 AM

Use Vista 32 bit with IE8

 

Installed new flash player 11.2.202.228 appears without problems. However, When I look at some of the files, they appear to look a lot different than previous one.

For example, the active x file use to look something like this

Flash11g.ocx

Now the new one looks like this

Flash_32_11_2_202_228.ocx

 

I also see FlashPlayerApp (an exe file)   in C:\WINDOWS\system32\

 

So should FlashPlayerApp show   in C:\WINDOWS\system32  ?

 

And is Flash_32_11_2_202_228.ocx the correct flash player for windows Vista 32 bit?

    I'm almost 100% sure I downloaded the version for Vista 32 bit and IE  browser, but these files look different than in the past so I makes me worried I  downloaded the wrong flash player

    From where are you downloading the installation files?

    Hi FPAgain,

     

    Yes, the files and file names that you mention are 100% authentic. If you are ever in doubt, right-click on the file and select properties. There, please check the Digital Signature tab. You should see Adobe Systems Incorporated as the signer of the binary.

     

    To give you some background: The file names had to change as part of the new Background Updater (introduced with FP11.2). If you'd like to read more about the Background Updater, you can do so in this DevNet article and my blog post that answers some FAQs.

     

    Hope this helps!

     

    -Stephen

    Thanks

    I knew that the files were legit from ADOBE, but was unclear if they were the right files for 32 bit vista with IE browser type. Was wondering if they were installed in the right place too

     

    And FlashPlayerApp (an exe file)  should be located  in C:\WINDOWS\system32  folder?

    Hi FPagain,

     

    Yes, all the files are installed in the right place and FlashPlayerApp.exe should be in C:\Windows\system32.
