frogman Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 There is a security update of the Adobe Flash Player version 10,2,152,32.Just a small question I have in that do we need to remove the old application first before downloading and installing the new version?I looked in my add remove programs list, and I saw Adobe Flash Player Plugin 10, and I thought as the version is still 10 that I should leave it and just install the latest 10 version without removing the previous 10version, and it installed successfully, and I wondered if this was the correct procedure, perhaps we should only remove the previous version prior to installing a new version when the version number actually changes it's main number like from 10 to 11.Can anyone help and advise please as the new update works fine, and the same description shows up in the add/remove program list as Adobe Flash Player Plugin 10.Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainyd Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I'm always removing older version in such situation to avoid potential problems - in my case update works fine too.Btw, if you don't have any issues, you shouldn't worry about the way you've chosen.

herbalist Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 If I remember right, I uninstalled version9, then installed 10. Since then, I've installed 10.1 and 10.2 versions over the existing version and haven't had any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frogman Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 Adobe Shockwave Player = 11.5.9r615Funny how I installed it successfully using finesse, but every time I checked the version on adobes site it stated I still had version 10 of shockwave, flash shows the correct version.I use the Firefox 3.6.14, and it reports the correct plugin of 11, it just does report the same when I visit adobe site which can't be right can it?

herbalist Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 (edited) I used SeaMonkey 1.1.18 when I downloaded and installed. Their test pages showed the same results when I used SeaMonkey 2.0.10. Edited March 4, 2011 by herbalist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
