Adobe Flash Player 16 ActiveX 16.0.0.305

Hi All,

After downloading and installing this new Update my Computer still showing the older Version "16.0.0.296" as last installed Update.

Also when I try to import this Package via IT Clients manager in order to deploy it, I get the massage that another Package already has the same name (I had already downloaded and deployed Adobe Flash Player 16 ActiveX 16.0.0.296).

can you pls help me to solve this Problem to keep Flash updated as these is a security Bug attacking the last Updates.

Adobe verteilt wichtiges Sicherheits-Updates für Flash – zumindest etwas | heise Security@@@ !

Many thanks

Correct answer _maria_

I have submitted a request to clear the server cache for these files.  It takes a bit of time for the request to process and the files to purge across the CDN.

We are aware that the description on some pages still has version 296 and we are working to update the content on those pages.

Hello,

I have cleared the cache on these URLs again (MSI URL and SCUP catalog URL).  Please clear the cache (browser/server) and try again.

Thank you.

Same problem here - trying to download the EXE installer.  Get a file with no file type, rename it to .exe and it is the older version.  Have cleared cache etc but no go.

MSI version is correct though.

For those that are having problems, can you please state your locale and what file (msi, exe, activex, npapi) is incorrect?

06/02/15 - 9:30a.m.: Buggy version online.

Cleared every cache, used another PC, another browser, another internet-dialup - nada!

Still receiving msi for enterprise deployment in buggy version 16.0.0.296.

I always use Orca or "SuperOrca" to validate MSI package versions.

@Adobe: Your downloadsite shows correct version number, but download is still old. Please provide the correct URIs!

The same @ us. On the Distribution site Weiterverteilung von Adobe Flash Player | Adobe Version 16.0.0.305 will advertise, but the downloaded MSI-File ist 16.0.0.296.

Dear Adobe,

could you please take care of updating your websites in time! Especially for enterprise deployments (SCUP catalog, MSI download) its always a pain...

I´m looking forward to read some default templated answer from you.

Hello,


I have just verified that version 16.0.0.305 ActiveX is downloading. Based on the time-stamp of the comments, it could be that the download attempts were occuring around the same time the new file was being posted, and it does take a bit of time for the updates to propagate throughout the CDN.  Please clear the cache on your server (server and browsers) and try again.
