Does the browser need to be closed when installing the new flash player?

I had uninstalled the previous flash player version. Went to the adobe website to download the latest flash player 10.2.152.26. Followed the instructions including using the Adobe Download manager. It just said to click run and said NOTHING about closing out the browser first before installing.

Should I have closed out the browser first, BEFORE installing???

    Hi, No, not when Uninstalling or Installing from a direct site. Now if you are using the manual Uninstaller/Installer that you put on your Desktop and run from there, then yes.

    Hope that answers your question.

    Thanks,
