ADOBE Flash 64-bit: For Windows 7 64-bit

[petesmst]

Has anyone tested ADOBE FLASH PLAYER SQUARE? (a new trial 64-bit Flash) See Adobe Labs HERE

To quote from the web site:

"The key new capabilities in the Flash Player "Square" preview are:

•64-bit support — Native support for 64-bit operating systems and 64-bit web browsers on Linux, Mac OS, and Windows.
•Internet Explorer 9 hardware accelerated rendering support — Enhanced support for Internet Explorer 9 Beta. It takes advantage of hardware accelerated graphics in Internet Explorer 9 Beta, utilizing hardware rendering surfaces to improve graphics performance and enable seamless composition."

Adobe square is loaded with IE 9 64 Bit and seems to be working well for me. (IE 9 would only load the same bitness IE as my OS, hence the 64 Bit, on my PC) Adobe announced Square about the same time as the beta IE 9 was let loose to the world.

I have both 32-bit and 64-bit IE9 beta on my 64-bit Win7 Ultimate machine. I did nothing special to install. Are you sure that you only have 64-bit IE9 beta on your system?

@Ted: Thanks. (I have IE9 Beta installed with my Win 7 64-bit. (To my embarrassment, I had not yet realised that Flash was installed with the 64-bit version!) Blush....

When I downloaded IE 9, I downloaded both 32 Bit and 64 Bit versions. When I went to install them, I received an error message with the 32 Bit edition that this was the wrong bitness (don't recall the exact wording) for my PC and only the 64 Bit edition would install at that time. I have not tried again because the 64 Bit edition seems to be working well at this point.

This is the error message (just attempted it again.) The 64 Bit edition worked fine.

Both 32-bit and 64- bit versions of IE9 Beta work fine on my 64-bit Win 7 system. One annoyance, however, is that the "safety" and "Identity Safe" tool bars of Norton Internet Security 2011 will not install on the 64-bit version of IE9 Beta. Symantec Customer Support have advised compatibilty with the 64-bit version is not yet "there" So, in my case, I must stick with the 32 bit IE9 Beta because my password manager is managed by Norton Identity Safe (Pity!)

When you install run the 64-bit IE9 installer you should get both the 32-bit & 64-bit versions of IE9 installed.

Joe, you are correct. I just rediscovered both icons in the Start Orb. Sorry for the misinfo. I was using the installer error info and did not realize both had been installed. Thanks.

Well, now that I actually am using IE 9 64 Bit ( I just double checked) I had to go to the Adobe site to download Square. It seems to be working just fine. I'll update if something bad developes.

With the Adobe beta software you DO need to download both the 32-bit & 64-bit beta versions.

I did notice that. I already had the 32 Bit edition so I just downloaded the 64 Bit edition. It seems to be stable and work very nicely. I just read that Adobe will be releasing another megapatch for reader, I wonder if Flash will be included as well.
