Redist version 11.3 for Windows x64 link incorrect

The link to the Windows 64-bit version of 11.3 is incorrect. The link (http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_player_11_plugin_64bit.exe) should download the latest version of the Flash Player for Windows x64, but instead of 11.3, it downloads 11.2

Meanwhile, the Windows 32-bit link (http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_player_11_plugin.exe) correctly points to the latest version, 11.3

Can someone at Adobe please fix this?

P.S. where do you find that incorrect link, so that it can be corrected?

The direct links for Flash Player 11.3 is provided here: http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#main-pars_header

Please note that there only two installers: for Internet Explorer and for other browsers.

Thanks,

Flash Player 11.3 installers have been combined to contain both 32-bit and 64-bit installers.

On a 64-bit system it will install both 32-bit & 64-bit players; on a 32-bit system it will only install the 32-bit edition.

When on a 32-bit version of Windows and IE, looking at the main download site (where the non-redistributable ones are served), it has an alert box that says: "Beginning with 11.3, the universal 32-bit installer will include the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the Flash Player."

I wonder if this is the case for the plugin (Firefox) version as well. Which would be why they did not update the 64-bit one. . . though if this is the case, they should probably delete it to avoid confusion.

Incidentally, do you have the link to the IE version of the redistributable? I can't find it or puzzle it out based on the plugin one.

The redistribution links are listed here:

http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html

The link for the Firefox x64 one isn't listed there, but historically was found by appending _64bit.exe

I haven't tried the 32-bit link fully to see if it works for 64-bit, but given that it's file size is smaller than that of the 64-bit link, my gut says that it doesn't. I do know that if you start the 32-bit installer, it runs as a new install, not an upgrade, on a system where 64-bit is already installed.
