Error Installing Flash ActiveX 12.0.0.77 on Windows 8.1

We use SCUP 2011 to deploy our Flash Updates. Today I deployed the ActiveX 12.0.0.77 to our systems, both Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 and found errors with the deployments to Windows 8.1. I realized that the SCUP update, from the Adobe Flash Catalog shouldn't have been deployed to Windows 8.1 as Microsoft supplies these updates now. I pulled the deployment back and now I want to change the Installable rules to prevent updating any Windows 8.x / Server 2012 systems.

Is it as simple as changing the Installable Rules to Less Than or Equal to Windows 7 SP1? What is the definition of Custom Version? This is what I currently have...

Well, It would be better if you ask this question from Microsoft.

Am I correct in thinking the SCUP catalogs that supply the settings above come from Adobe? Wouldn't they be somewhat responsible for the logic and Installable Rules that go into them?

Please check this flash player admin guide for the details,

Thanks for the document. This has some good information in it. It doesn't, however, explain the OS selection from above as "Custom Version". I can't figure out what the author of that update was referring to. In any case, I've republished the updates and changed the OS option to be Less that or equal to Windows 7 SP1. I'll need to pay more attention in the future.
