ActiveX and PlugIn Flashplayer installed both - ActiveX only updates automatically
I'm responsible for a group of Windows-based computers, which some in a non-profit where we have both IE and Firefox (like Chrome) installed. Accordingly, we have the ActiveX and plugin versions of Flash Player installed. It seems that the automatic updates of the Flash Player only the ActiveX version and not the version of the PlugIn. This has happened for a long time, even on Windows 7. Y at - it a fix for this? Or at the very least, is it possible to reverse the order so that the Flashplayer PlugIn is updated rather than the ActiveX version?
Edit: To be clear, most of the computers is probably on "Notify me to install new updates", but only the new version of ActiveX installed. Even if the computer is configured to allow Adobe install updates only the new version of ActiveX installed.
Hi paradoox,
For the updates in the background (option 'Allow Adobe install updates (recommended)'), both players are updated, however, the Activex version is first updated and then an hour later the Plugin is updated.
For Notification updates (option ' Notify me to install updates "), Flash Player checks an update when the Flash content is read. If an update is available, it creates a registry entry which then launches the Update Notification window when the system is restarted or the user logs on/off voltage. In this scenario, regardless of the version of Flash Player (Activex or Plugin) was used when checking is one that creates the registry entry and is the one that is being updated. I know that's not ideal, but it is legacy features and has been so for a long time. Unless you have changed the update check interval, the default value is 7 days.
Since you indicate that the Plugin is not updated via background updates, I would examine the FlashInstall.log file to infected computer. Unfortunately, background updates do not write to the log file unless logging is turned on (which probably you haven't configured), but I can still be able to glean information from the current log on the system file. Please provide a machine affected log file using the instructions here, the specified item is not found...
To enable detailed logging background update, add the following to the mms.cfg file: SilentAutoUpdateVerboseLogging = 1. History updates for a updated once a day, so if you enable it today, it must contain related information in a day or two, depending when the background update task is actually configured to run on impact on machines.

I have a new HP computer and I can not open hotmail attachments (updated Automatic Windows Vista, IE8, activated and updated running). When you try to open an attachment, the bar downstairs quickly moves to the right, but never appears a dialog box asking if you want to open or save the file. Error message I get when I try to resolve it with the suggested steps indicates "module"wintrust.dll"was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80070005.

Hi Paul,.
Have you tried to download an attachment after you turn off your antivirus?I had a problem in the past where the system was performed at Trend Micro Internet Security and Web content filtering (I think that's what it was called) was preventing attachments from download.I would like to know what are your results!Cody C

Greetings,
If I go to control panel > uninstall a program, it shows Adobe Flash installed twice:
Adobe Flash Player 11 ActiveX version 11.4.402.265
Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin version 11.3.300.257
What is the difference between an ActiveX control and plugin?
Thank you
Shane.

I have a creative cloud subscription, and it seems that the application Manager always install both 32-bit and 64-bit applications. I never really use 32-bit versions, so I would not install them in the first place if possible. Is there a setting for this some part that I missed it, I just need to uninstall the 32-bit version after the fact (or is there a reason that is not a good idea)?
Yes, with cloud creative, you will have 32 and 64 bit versions installed. 32-bit is useful in cases when you have a plugin that supports only 32 bit, not 64-bit.
You can see below the discussion forum as well.
