However, since the linux versions 11.2+ of Flash cannot possibly have been compiled using MSVS 2012+, the issues mentioned above *must* perforce be two different issues, not a single one. This spells the decomissioning of most non-SSE2 processors (all AMDs from before the introduction of AMD-64 and all Intel processors preceeding the Pentium IV).

Then again, recompilation is mandatory for removing the SSE2 requirement, and most developers don't bother to do it at all. Which, in fact it can be turned off by simply compiling with the with /arch:SSE and /Oi- command-line switches. One thing is programs failing to work because of lack of SSE2 support: since MSVS 2012 MS decided to enforce a (generally unnecessary) default standard of requiring SSE2. Sounds like they're trying to save it from death.

The alternate download page also specifies 10.9, if you 1) select Mac OS and then 2) click on the system requirements link that appears in blue: (They also recently ended the ESR for the Windows and Mac OS NPAPI plugin.)

The download page now no longer says that any specific Mac OS version is required, either, even though Adobe's Tech Specs page still says that 10.9 or higher is required:Īlso notable is that they finally brought the Linux NPAPI version of Flash Player up to the current release, instead of being stuck with the 11.x 'Extended Support Release'. Off-topic, but I got a scare a few days ago when I went to install Flash Player 24 on my 2007 MacBook running Mac OS X 10.7.5 (the highest it supports), and the download page stated that OS X 10.9 or higher is required! I thought Adobe had ended support for older Mac OS versions even before they ended support for Windows XP and Vista.īut then the next day, the Flash Player update notification pop-up came up, and I was able to successfully download and install Flash Player 24 on OS X 10.7.5. The Flash plugin for Internet Explorer and Firefox install without any issues. Am I missing something? I installed the install_flash_player ppapi.exe and got confirmation that it was installed, but when I go to the Adobe test page ( ), it is still showing the original 21.0.0.213 that installs with. The NPAPI for Firefox is available here: Ĭurrently, the Flash Player for Opera or Chromium ( install_flash_player ppapi.exe) version v23.0.0.207 can be used!įlash Player Version 24.0.0.186 has been released!Ĭurrently, the Flash Player for Opera or Chromium ( install_flash_player ppapi.exe) version v24.0.0.186 can be used! The Internet Explorer ActiveX plugin is available here: Flash Player Version 23.0.0.207 has been released! (Although not brand new update, better now than never! )
