I have a programme that worked great with the 15version ( adobe player ) but my computer automatically updated it so now i got a 19 version and my programme shows this message <<my error message exactly is flash player 10 or higher for internet explorer is required to run (name of the programme) would you like to go to a web page to download it now? >> At first i said yes (i already had 19 version) so nothing changed....the same message keeps poping up and my programme does not work  ... I got an exe 15version but it sends me to adobe player newest version....I need exe version 15 without sending me to 19version....Can anyone help??

    Your best option is to talk to the software provider.

    Running Flash Player 15.x at this point means that you're missing hundreds (seriously, a few hundred) of important security changes that leave you vulnerable to malware.  It's a really bad idea.

    That said, if you absolutely must do it, there is an archived set of builds here that we provide for developers:

    I would not browse the web with this plug-in, and you might want to pick a dedicated browser, like Google Chrome to use for web browsing, and disable Flash (presumably you need the ActiveX control, so you'd want to disable it in Internet Explorer) in the browser(s) relevant to the plugin architecture where you need the old plugin.

    You really just shouldn't do this, so I'm going to refrain from elaborating with a step-by-step on how to get that done.
