Adobe Shock Wave Player Update

I have been trying to update my Adobe Shock wave player for 3 days now, I have Version 11 and I am trying to update to Version 11.0.3.470 when I go through the update I get the (update successful) but when I check add/remove it is still V 11. Any help will be appreciated...

Hi Sophie,

I'm going to go out on limb here and say version 11 in the add/remove list of control panel would be normal. At least that is the case of the both computers I have access to at home. Decimal's are dropped or not reflected there.

Have you checked your version here:

Are you having problems with shockwave?

NOTE*
Ordinarily, your Shockwave will contact Adobe occasionally to see if you have the lastest version of Shockwave or Flash. Then, it will automatically download and install any new components, or ask for permission to so.

For Internet Explorer users, this will happen automatically as a new ActiveX control will be automatically installed the first time you hit a piece of content that requires a version of Shockwave newer than the one you have. (Exception to this would be for major upgrades such as going from a version10 to a version11 you will have to follow the usual procedure of installing Shockwave) .

 

Sophie, right click on the Start button, click on "Explore" then navigate to C:\Windows\System32\Adobe\Shockwave 11 then right click on the SwInit.exe file, select properties then the Version tab and you should see the number of the current version installed. If your SW has updated to the latest version it should be 11.0.3.470.

 

Thanks Ann & John for your replys....

John another thanks to you following your directions I found I do have version 11.0.3.470 and didn't even know it....

 

You're up to date

Glad to be of assistance, your Shockwave is up to date.
