Update or install Flash Player without DLM

As Adobe has released a new version of Flash Player today, I thought I should share how you can update or install Flash Player without using Adobe Download Manager (DLM).

Simply use the link for the browser you want to update below. You can also bookmark them as they will always return the current version.

[Update: Links have changed with Flash Player 11 – Thanks to Explorer]

For Internet Explorer:

32 bit (x86):
http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax_32bit.exe

64 bit (x64):
http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax_64bit.exe

For any other browser (Firefox etc.)

32 bit (x86):
http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_32bit.exe

64 bit (x64):
http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_64bit.exe


To test if the installation was successful and if you have the updated version, go to this page:

  1. These links are for Flash Player 11.

    Since Flash Player 11 comes with both 32bit and 64bit versions, the download links for them are a little different:

    http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_32bit.exe

    http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_64bit.exe

    http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax_32bit.exe

    http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax_64bit.exe

    http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player_32bit.exe

    http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player_64bit.exe

    The 3 links in the original post will still work, but you’ll end up getting Flash Player 10 instead of 11.
