How to install CORRECT version with IE

[Bill508-dVxfh0]

I have both Firefox and IE on my computer.  I have successfully updated Firefox to use the newest version of Flash player - but cannot update IE.  Downloading from IE gives me version 12.0.0.38 and complains, "Your version12.0.0.38 Latest Version12.0.0.43" 

Where is 12.0.0.43 for IE? 

(Computer is Windows 7 64-bit)

I have tried the approach suggested in another note: download install_flash_player_ax.exe separately, shut down IE, run the installer, restart IE ... When I visit http://helpx.adobe.com/flash_player.html with IE, the "Check Now" button produces, "Sorry, your computer does not have the latest Flash Player installed. Please go to step 2. ( Your version12.0.0.38 Latest Version12.0.0.43 )"

The "cloud/tree" animation does work - so apparently Flash Player IS working - but the Adobe website claims it is out-of-date.  So apparently this is only cosmetic, but confusing (and time-wasting).

Perhaps the defect currently lies with the helpx.adobe.com site, which believes there should be a "newer" Flash Player for IE ... but no newer version than 12.0.0.38 actually exists.

It's really confusing with 12

12.0.0.38 is the newest for IE.

12.0.0.43 or 54 is for Firefox. (43 Windows, 54 Mac)

12.0.0.41 or 47 is for Chrome (41 Windows, 47 Mac)

IE 11 has misleading User Agent Strings that throw ALL kinds of pages off on ID'ing it. (See: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ieinternals/archive/2013/09/21/internet-explorer-11-user-agent-string-ua-str...)

This leads to the conclusion that the Adobe web page for checking the current installed version ...

http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html

... is simply providing the wrong results, by insisting that a (non-existent) .43 version should be installed with IE.
