I can't seem to locate a download link for the 64 bit version of the Flash Player (install_flashplayer11x64_mssd_aih.exe)
I can only find the 32 bit version (install_flashplayer11x32_mssd_aih.exe)
Does anyone know how to get the 64 bit?

I cannot currently get to the standard download page http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ - it times out before it can load.
However, you can download the offline installer(s) from http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.ht... - they will automatically install both 32-bit and 64-bit players on a 64-bit system.

Thanks.
I don't want the 32 bit version installed, though, only the 64. (Plus, I didn't see any link or even mention of an offline installer on that page.)
The only place I've been able to find the correct file (install_flashplayer11x64_mssd_aih.exe) is on file sharing sites. I'd prefer to download directly from Adobe, if anyone is aware of where to find it.

As of 11.3 we now only provide a "universal" (32 and 64bit versions) installer for OS X and Windows XP - Windows 7. You should be able to tell your 32 bit browsers to disable/ignore the plugin through their UI. The other alternative is to rename the extension of the plugin in your c:\windows\syswow64\macromed\flash folder, though please be aware that this will cause the unisntaller to miss it.

Ah, that explains the the missing installer.
Thanks, Chris.
