Another bug fix for ActiveX version of Flash

Leave a comment

Adobe released new versions of Flash for all platforms on September 10. A few days later, they released a new ActiveX version (11.8.800.174) to fix some bugs that were discovered in the previous release.

Today, Adobe released yet another ActiveX version of Flash to fix one more bug. The new version (11.8.800.175) is now available, but only via the Flash auto-updater.

For some unknown reason, Adobe has not posted the new version to the main download page, so anyone trying to update Flash in Internet Explorer by visiting this page will have no luck. According to Adobe, they hope to have version 11.8.800.175 available on the main download page on September 24.
