Shows the 10.1 and I'm running IE9 beta x64. Not sure why it doesn't us the new Flash?

OK, got it sorted now. I was launching IE from my pinned icon. It was the 32 bit version. Unpinned and launched 64 bit IE and Flash now shows version 10.2. Working great.

Thanks all!

AHA! .... that was my mistake. I unpinned the 32 bit, pinned the 64bit...install went good. I just assumed the 64bit version was the one already pinned.

Awesome...Now I can run FF 64 bit as well as IE 9 64 bit!!

I wonder if the 64bit version has the same security problem as the 32bit version. After they fix the 32bit bit version in a couple weeks I wonder if they will have a new 64bit version?

A 64 bit version of flash player? That's awesome, but I use Firefox 32 bit anyway. :P It doesn't really affect me but it's awesome that they finally got around to it.

Now, if only Mozilla would hurry up with a 64bit version of Firefox (not that the 32 bit version is that bad in a x64 OS).

This is all well and good, but you still can't set 64-bit IE as the default browser!

Except...I did.

:)

Can you share how you did that here,

We're not so sure about that.

I am.

Are you sure about that?

Firefox likes to think it is. (I know, that's not the same thing.)

I use Firefox almost exclusively, only switching over to IE in the rare case that something flat out won't work right with Firefox. I use an Add-On called "IE View" which wanted to always use the 64-Bit version of IE until I forced it to use the 32-Bit version.
