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:

These links are for Flash Player 11.
ReplyDeleteSince 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.
