When on a 32-bit version of Windows and IE, looking at the main download site (where the non-redistributable ones are served), it has an alert box that says: "Beginning with 11.3, the universal 32-bit installer will include the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the Flash Player."

I wonder if this is the case for the plugin (Firefox) version as well. Which would be why they did not update the 64-bit one. . . though if this is the case, they should probably delete it to avoid confusion.

Incidentally, do you have the link to the IE version of the redistributable? I can't find it or puzzle it out based on the plugin one.

Best Regards,

B

The redistribution links are listed here:

http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html

The link for the Firefox x64 one isn't listed there, but historically was found by appending _64bit.exe

I haven't tried the 32-bit link fully to see if it works for 64-bit, but given that it's file size is smaller than that of the 64-bit link, my gut says that it doesn't. I do know that if you start the 32-bit installer, it runs as a new install, not an upgrade, on a system where 64-bit is already installed.
