Why is Flash Builder 4.0.1 Plug-in downgrading Flash Player???

Paul_Kuhn Jul 2, 2010 3:55 AM

Hi all,

I have also installed Flash Builder 4.0.1 as an Eclipse Plugin-in.

I have noticed after installation that my current Flash Player 10.1 version has been 'downgraded' to version 10,0,45,2

Why is that? This does not make sense.

There was also not option to prevent installing Flash Player in FB installation dialogues.

That's nasty - it should never do that. Normally it works in the other direction, upgrading you to Debug Player 10.1 if you don't have it already.

A few Q's:
Are you on Mac or Win?
What browser did you see this in?

As a workaround, you can find the Debug Player 10.1 installers in your root install of FB 4.0.1, in the Players folder. You can re-run them quickly from there, without needing to download them.

Thanks for the quick response, Chris.

I am using Windows 7 (64-bit) and I have seen this in Firefox 3.6.6.
I will re-install Version 10.1

Sorry guys,

I need to take this back.

What happened was that I was by mistake installing FB 4.0.0 Plug-in. The FB 4.0.0 Plugin downgraded the Flash Player in Firefox.

The FB 4.0.1 Plugin does not downgrade Flash Player Plugin.
