Just checking before I install this.....the install download icon from the non-IE link you posted  is black.  Is it supposed to look like this?  I thought is was red with a white F so I'm a bit leery of clicking on it.

I had to check -- you're right.  Good catch and smart move to ask!  Adobe changed the color of the installer.  I'm thinking the change was made to go along with the change to no longer need to close the browser when installing the update.

Thanks! And that's a good change.  All installed and up to date now. :)

It is dark purple - a shade darker than the previous update. Lastpass use the same system. :thumbsup:
