Paulus should write to Adobe and ask them. Because Adobe clearly issued their bulletin here http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb09-08.html on 6/23/09.

This is odd as I always thought just like the flash installer, the shockwave one always uninstalled the previous version first before continuing.

Ferry strange indeed this because its (no more than) normal when a manufacturer (in this case Adobe) updates his (Adobe) product the manufacturer wil give it (the software) a new release number.
