Flash plugin from labs site is 13.0.0.168, not 13.0.0.191

The new flash plugin available for download from Adobe labs is not 13.0.0.191, it's the old 13.0.0.168.

I've tried downloading both of them several times for IE and "Others".

This often happens with Flash Player and AIR, right after a version has been released. The one in labs is the last beta, the release one is most likely more recent than the last beta. Labs will overtake the release one again when they post a new beta.

Flash plugin 13.0.0.168 is from the 28. march. The latest release version is 13.0.0.182 and the release note states that the latest beta is 13.0.0.191.

That's why I wonder why the labs download isn't 13.0.0.191,

I just installed the debug version of the plugin here:

http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer.html

and it shows as being build 191. Any chance you tried to install it on April 8th? Sometimes it takes a while for the latest file to propagate.

This is typically caused by the files not being released from the cache correctly on an Akamai node.  I'll ask someone to force-flush the cache.  That usually resolves the issue.  Please give it a couple hours to let the changes propagate through the network.

Eventually I ended up downloading the correct version (as I expected) and today .199 came down nicelly.

But since the release was 8. april and I still got an old version 5 days later, I had to ask.

Not a problem at all.  It's usually an issue with an individual Akamai node, and the activity on a single node is way below the noise floor when looking at the data in aggregate.  If it continues to be an issue for you in future releases, I'll collect some network data from you and open a support case.  My experience is that it happens on random nodes, which makes it harder to point an engineer to something actionable.
