The version that you are trying to install is not the most current version

I have multiple snapshots of this one. I am trying to install Adobe Flash Player on a Windows7 64bit machine from adobe.com. I keep getting the following error:

The version of Adobe Flash Player ActiveX that you are trying to install is not the most current version. Please visit (adobewebsite) to obtain the latest, most secure version.

This is the message that I am getting from Adobe.com website!

I tried uninstalling multiple times + reinstalling, same error. I tried offline installing, same error (is not the most current version).

Help?

    Did you install the Flash Player 10.1 beta at any time before?  If so, you must uninstall it with the 10.1 uninstaller using the -force option.

    Hi, It may be helpful if you read over this troubleshooting guide by Adobe.

    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html

    If you decide to Uninstall and Install again, I would use the "executable" which you can download to your Desktop.

    Have you previously installed any beta version? I'm sure you know you need to use the 32bit browser since Flash Player

    is not supported on the 64bit.

    The Anti-Virus/Firewall, Security Settings for IE, Permission requirement are important. Also the necessity of Rebooting twice after the Uninstall for IE, to make sure old files are removed.

    If you have any questions, just post back.

    Thanks,

    I had the same problem. This finally worked for me:
