Adobe flash player update error
« on: January 16, 2015, 04:33:33 am »
In order to download the latest adobe flash player update;

I had to create an account with adobe...
however, it made no reference why it did not work

we will tell 360 about this and we will by pass your registration issues.

Adobe; your on notice...

Hi, Rick,
                    You need not give any details or log in to download updates. You just uninstall the adobe flash player and then reinstall the latest from the links i provide
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
there is an uninstaller. Pl uninstall using this
and then install from adobe.com.
                      During installation, check the updates option suitably
The Bottom line is "Check your hardware first if it supports the task you try".

I often asks myself why these things happen; as a simple user; I have no interest to learn new uninstall and install methods...

Adobe, fix your system ...

I just manually download the whole setups for them :-)

active x link (IE)
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_player_16_active_x.exe

plugin link (Firefox, Chrome and such)
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_player_16_plugin.exe

The issue is; auto updating; making links to update is not the answer to solving a billion problems at one time... I had to create an Adobe account, once that was done, the auto update feature worked...

Adobe, please fix your auto update feature already installed in billions of systems worldwide!!!!!
* we should not have to create an account in order to get free updates.....

Thats odds, I have adobe flash and reader on hundreds of machines around town here and they all update fine, never had to create an account at all to get them to update.

I do not think adobe needs for your registration details and log in creating account etc.  I think you are downloading from some other website
