Hi,

As of Windows 8 Microsoft embeds Flash Player in IE and all Flash Player for IE updates are released by Microsoft, not Adobe.  You'll need to run Windows Update to update Flash Player for IE on Windows 8.1

The Flash Player distribution page, where the MSIs are posted to includes the following comment:

Note: As of Windows 8, Microsoft embeds Flash Player in Internet Explorer, and Edge browser in Windows 10. Flash Player ActiveX installers are for Windows 7 and below.
