Thank you Flor. I have, if that is OK passed this information on to other users too.

Hi eleanor,

that's good info. Now, if however you find yourself stuck in the install (which comes up automatically) and want to go ahead: This is a tabbable dialogue. There are usually two buttons, which JAWS calls I button and Q button. (the I button = install; the Q button = quit.) At first, however, there is an unlabelled button, and if you tab then you come to a Q button. This unlabelled 'button', is the Accept button, for accepting the License Agreement. Press spacebar or enter on that, and then subsequently on each of the I buttons, as they occur, when prompted. You will eventually be returned to the desktop, with the job done.

I spoke with one of the Adobe accessibility team today, and
A workaround for updating Adobie Flash Player at present, for those who are having difficulty as it needs visual assistance, install the updated version directly, rather than as an upgrade. It's
cumbersome to do it this way, but it does do the trick.
