If you are following the official way to install Adobe Flash either globally on the computer system or for one of the supported web browsers you will notice that Adobe is making use of the Adobe Download Manager to deliver the contents. This procedure adds files to the operating system and could pose a security risk which it has been in the past.
It is therefor suggested to find a way to download Adobe Flash without the Adobe Download Manager. But that’s unfortunately not as easy as it sounds as Adobe seems to have cut off many other options to download Adobe Flash without the download manager.
There are basically two options to download Adobe Flash without the Adobe Download Manager. The fact that Adobe offers different versions of Flash depending on the web browser that is used to access the website makes the matter even more confusing.
The best option to download Adobe Flash directly is to use the direct links to the setup files. Those links point to the Windows Flash installers.
- Adobe Flash Player Internet Explorer download [link]
- Adobe Flash Player Other Browsers download [link]
Those two links always point to the latest official release version of Adobe Flash. The second option is to download a developer release of Adobe Flash from the Flash Labs website. Those are often pre-releases which can contain bugs. Versions for all operating systems are offered.
Both options allow the user to download Adobe Flash without the Adobe Download Manager.
