Adobe Flash Player Download For Windows 10 64 Bit Offline Installer
Rashawn Devegowda
I've contacted Adobe because I was completely unable to install Flash with the 900kb installer-downloaders which always flood me with strange errors (and delete themselves from the run location! so you can't launch the installer-downloader after failure, have to re-download it), and they sent me this link.
On the standard installation page the "Install Now" button links to the download page =..., you should append &standalone=1 to the end, then it'll let you download the normal standalone offline installer.
If you download the flash player cab file for Microsoft System Center/SCCM, extract the xml file from the it, then you'll see the msi file listed in the xml file. There's a link for the activex installer and also the Mozilla/firefox/netscape plugin.
Here are direct links from there to save you a click:
Flash Player for Internet Explorer - ActiveX
Flash Player for Firefox - NPAPI
Flash Player for Opera and Chromium-based browsers - PPAPI
You'll also need an old web browser version to go with that. I'd suggest you look at the Firefox archives: with a version less than 85, though to make life easier, I'd go with version 51.0.1 as there are no special steps needed to re-enable npapi.
None of the solutions here will work today anymore in the year 2023.Even if you find the original installer anywhere, it will be useless because Microsoft has blocked the installation on Windows 10 and 11. All that you get will be this stupid error:
But this does not mean that there is no solution. I wrote a software "PTBSync" which among other features displays a desktop calendar where the user can select a Flash Clock and other utilities to be displayed on the desktop. Therefore Adobe Flash must be installed.
I extracted the Flash files and the registry entries from an intact installation and offer it on my homepage. You can download a ZIP file with the latest Flash version and copy the files to your disk and double click the .REG file. So you get Flash running on your Windows 10 or 11 within one minute.
Pick the tar.gz file archive as download option to download the offline installation for ubuntu. The tar.gz archive contains instructions how you can install it for the default browser firefox or how you can run the flash player itself.
When I click onto Xfinity Comcast News Video Clips, the advertisement commercial will play, then the news clip loads with a continuous blue circle, but does not play. I'm running Windows 10 and have downloaded latest adobe flash player. When I use Microsoft Edge Browser, both the advertisement and news clip in Xfinity Comcast news will play without any issues. Firefox is my default browser and prefer to keep it as default, but need help to fix this problem.Thanks,espJones07-07-16
Sorry for the confusion with my first recommended location where I think you got a "stub installer". I had been linking to the /distribution3.html page until recently; due to the threatened decommissioning of that page by Adobe I have switched to that first page which has those "additional offers". I hate when companies pull that deceptive crap where users have to be so damn careful to de-select stuff that they weren't looking for to begin with or get jammed-up with unwanted garbage they don't want or may cause them problems.
Problem solved, thanks alot for your help. See images below and note that Adobe Flash Player 22 NPAPI installed today. However I did not know it was also called Shockwave Flash 22.0.0.192 and after several attempts, I enabled Shockwave Flash within Firefox Addons (it had been disabled).Images shown below. Thanks again for your help.
Back in the days when Macromedia (1992 - 2005) owned the names "Shockwave" and "Flash" along with something called "Shockwave for Director" they created an identity crisis by using "Shockwave" on two separate but similar applications. I never figured out what was different about "Shockwave for Director", but that is a moot point in the 21st century mid-teens. "for Director" is very, very rarely seen these days. I suspect it was supposed to be a "pricier" version of Shockwave Flash with additional features. Like the opposite of trying to have customers believe that a Cimarron is really a Cadillac back in the 1980's.
When Adobe acquired Macromedia in 2005 they started to change the identities a bit stressing Adobe Flash Player over "Shockwave" for "Flash". I suspect the guys working in the basement on the NPAPI Plugin for Flash didn't get the memo and didn't reword the Plugin. And as far as "Shockwave for Director" goes, I think it fell by the wayside after Adobe "took over" with the "additional" features went into Flash and "for Director" was put in a "legacy mode" to cover the people who "drank the kool aid" and had spent the bucks for the upscale package that really never took off under Macromedia.
Thanks for the explanation. I was with Burroughs Corp in the 80s (mainframe co) that became Unisys when they acquired Sperry Rand in the mid 80s. So, I'm aware of a lot of things that happen when companies are acquired. I also remember the Cimarron Cadillac. Funny, how branding might have caused a few folks to buy that car.
I've put together a functional test of some code I'm working on to automatically download and install the flash plugin for Firefox Portable. It's simple yet seems to work quite well even with many proxies as long as they are properly defined in IE/Windows and doesn't leave anything behind.
When run, it'll download the plugin from Adobe's server and install it into your copy of Firefox. You just select your FirefoxPortable directory in the installer and it does the rest. Please give it a try and let me know if it works for you. If not, please provide details (your OS, directory installed to, error message received, etc).
PORTABILITY NOTE: Adobe Flash is not portable and will store Local Shared Objects (aka Flash Cookies) on every PC you visit. Firefox does not have access to these and they are not deleted when you delete private data though you can use the Objection extension to view them.
While I thank you for making this installer... I've already done the runaround to add Flash support to Firefox Portable. However, most users are either too lazy (or don't know how) to install Flash manually, so this'll like be a godsend for them.
Older versions of flash were packaged in a way that you could just extract the flash plugin from the installer. Fairly recently, however, Adobe changed their distribution in such a way that the PortableApps.com Installer can't extract it.
About Shared Objects, isn't there a way to copy SO's which have a high chance of heing created during your session be be backed up on USB? Maybe through time/date or something? Or if portable version runs backup old and have exclusive FFP folder as long as it runs.
Problem is that the SO's are used across all browsers thus might be hard to keep isolated. And you could end up taking SO's with you from other possible Browser or application sessions. So it's probably very hard to impossible to do.
It will be a separate download because we need to warn users that flash isn't portable before installing. I've been debating adding LSO support... or partial support... to the FFP launcher, but it could get messy.

If I extract the PortableFirefox 3.0.1 file into a new directory (start with a fresh setup) and go to a Flash enabled website with it, the Flash displays fine. What exactly is this little program supposed to do for me over and above what's already in the PFF 3.0.1 file? (Yes, I read the description above...but PFF already runs Flash fine without running this little downloaded thing...hence my confusion)
Firefox checks the loca install for flash. So if you have flash installed for your local Firefox, it works with the portable even if you don't use Johns installer. To really test it you have to visit Tim (:)) or find another flash-less PC.
Now run the Flash Plugin Downloader test program. When the menu comes up for me, it prompts me to select the D:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable directory where my "normal" install lives. I use the "Browse" button to select the test directory D:\Firefox2 and the installer insists on appending FirefoxPortable on the end so the target path becomes D:\FirefoxPortable2\FirefoxPortable which doesn't exist. I have to manually delete the \FirefoxPortable part and then hit the "Install" button.
John, it's not a bug. See the NSIS helpfile regarding InstallDir. Basically, if you don't end the InstallDir command with a "\", then whatever follows the previous "\" is automatically appended to the end of the browsed directory.
Most plugins will work if you just copy your plugins folder from your local Firefox to the Data\plugins folder of FirefoxPortable. Although some plugins (QuickTime I think, and Java) will require local files to also be installed. Still, this means it'll work if the local user has the required programs installed. Of course I believe some plugins like Adobe Reader don't like it if the local version doesn't exactly match the plugin version (but hey, what can you do?).
Some other plugins will hide in other folders. Sometimes they are single files that you can copy to Data\plugins anyway. Sometimes they are a plugin with dependency DLLs so they're in a separate folder to keep things tidy. You can try copying these too. Sometimes they'll work, sometimes not. Experiment. You probably need to use a different computer (or a virtual machine) to fully see if something will work or not.
