Re: Adobe Flash Player 11.4.402.278 is out.

Although the Distribution page claims the following:
Adobe Flash Player Distribution | Adobe
"Flash Player 11.4.402.278"
the MSI installers install version 11.4.402.267. Still. GRRRR!

Also, when I downloaded the consumer version of the installer and let it do it's thing on a test system, I got 11.4.402.278 BUT it didn't remove whatever other version (11.3.x or 11.4.402.267) I had installed using the MSI installer. DOUBLE GRRR!

I sure wish Adobe would get its act together.

I'm guessing you prefer the MSI installers vs the EXE installers for some reason?

Just downloaded the msi (plugin) & got .278.

96d41c47b8855b7dadf7b7778ad6c1cd *install_flash_player_11_plugin.msi
 
Note that other then the "msi" stuff, the msi & exe are exactly the same, as would be expected.
IOW, the msi has within a Data1.cab, & within that .cab is the exe, install_flash_player_11_plugin_11.4.402.278.exe.

OK, ditto with the msi (active x), 278

Not just Adobe either.

The MSI registers version 11.4.402.267 but actually installs version 11.4.402.278. I verified by installing the MSI and referencing the file version of FlashUtil64_11_4_402_278_ActiveX.exe (and ...Plugin.exe). Unfortunately many Inventory programs will report this as 267 since the registry shows the wrong version. (ActiveX) - HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{6F702A65-629F-4E5A-B686-1A4826C83AB4}
(Plugin) - HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{8C27E4F1-9CE6-4C32-ADBB-D51CD226649E}

Definitely annoying.

Adobe installed it legally and automatically on my windows 7 IE 9 and it killed the IE almost completely (except for simple sites). It was the correct (Active X) version. Had to disable it to be able to work. Bad, bad, bad Adobe.

You were worried that it might be illegal?

on my system the correct version is indicated at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Adobe Flash Player ActiveX
The key you cite is not present.
