I run the network for my family. We have 8 computers running Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8. Oh and android and Linux (various flavours) I'm having trouble with the latest update on the XP machine - from 18.0.0.160 to 18.0.0.194, it fails at 50%, yes I tried 10 times. So l checked for 'full' downloads and there's separate downloads for Firefox and Chrome - some of us favour Firefox and some Chrome - so I run both on, mostly, all machines. My question is "do I really need 2 installations of Flash player on all the (windows) machines!?! and will that even work". Of course I have a second question "is there an installation program for all our windows computers", yours 'confused' of IT land

Ooops; sorry, my first post here - so I've "messed up" the formatting vis-a-vis the subject and question.
I hope you can make sense of it and that I'm not alone with these issues.
Help!

Hi Spa innit

If you are using Firefox - You need to Install the NPAPI Flash Player for Firefox and If you are using Chrome - You don't need any installer as Flash Player is part of the Chrome Installer (& Updater) itself. for more information please refer Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows

I am sorry but Flash Player is not supported on any mobile device (Android, Blackberry, iOS, Windows Phone, etc).

NOTE: for Windows 8.x IE, Flash Player is shipped with the Widows Updates only so no extra installers there as well. for any OS below Win8.x you need to install Flash Player separately from the above page.

Hope this solves your problem.

Thanks for the quick reply Piyush,

Let me see if I've got this right in the form of a question!

"Is there just one Flash Player installer that will cover all versions of Windows for all browsers that I can download to distribute across all my network machines (I've applied for a 'distribution' licence, again)?"

thanks again (and to anyone else with any input on this ;>)
