Flash Player direct download URL for older versions

I need to update ActiveX from v10.x to a later version the current standalone installer (v24.x) will not even start on XP SP2 no error message and no window. I know older  v19.0.0.185 works with a standalone ActiveX application I am using on another XP SP2 machine. I know v19.x is no longer supported nor is this platform, I do not need to be told to update to SP3 and of security risks - I already know this.  I just need to get this old machine fixed with the minimum software change.

Can you please direct me to a link to standalone installer for v19.0.0.185 ?

Ideally I would like to test later versions is there a page I can pick later versions of the ActiveX standalone installer from?

Configuration Information:

    Operating system version - win xp sp2

    Web browser and version - firefox v25.x

    Flash Player version - v10.x

For another machine Slackware based linux / firefox v25.x or higher / flash 11.x the package builder scripts look for:

    SOURCE="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/pdc/${VERSION}/flash_player_npapi_linux.${ARCH}.tar.gz" and get components using

    wget -nv -T 20 -O "${SOURCE}" "${SRCURL}"

The above URL(eg http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/pdc/11/install_flash_player_npapi_linux.i386.tar.gz)  is no longer valid. (Also used to be able to get files like http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/pdc/11.4.402.287/install_f lash_player.exe without wasting time on your support pages looking for the links to standalone downloads but it seems you stopped this about 2yrs ago)

Where can I get this from so I can fix the package builder scripts to get whatever version I want and not just the latest?

by the way this page https://www.adobe.com/au/products/flashplayer/distribution.html gives me 2 choices but  I am an individual customer who just wants a standalone download for an older version not very customer friendly.

Since posting I successfully updated to v24.x by following https://forums.adobe.com/message/8842166#8842166 but it is performing poorly. ActiveX version performance is poor.  Hardware is Intel Celeron 2.62 Ghz/736MB RAM /ASUS P4SP-MX / SiS 651 32MB and the old flash 10.x ActiveX player barely kept up with a 560Kb/s media stream going at 90% CPU usage. V24.x runs 100% CPU and audio is now not in sync and video runs a bit slow.This is one of the few tasks the old machine needed to do now it is unacceptable.

I will still need to try an older version with better CPU performance, so I still need links to older flash versions.

Is it possible some older processor features were dropped from latest flash player (eg dropping something like MMX instructions or optimisations for old SiS 651 adapters etc). I am not expecting great performance but it has gone from acceptable  to poor because of a flash player update

Other minor issue did not detect the running portable Firefox (not surprised) so will need to manual replace NPAPI dll what are the DLL files I need to copy?
