Can't install the Adobe Flash update

I now know that I need to install the 11.3.300.262 version of Adobe Flash, but no matter what I do, it only seems to install the 11.3.300.257 update...even when it says it's the former one.

Should I try uninstalling Flash player, and then reinstalling?

Thanks.

Additionally, you can try to determine the actual version by right-clicking on a Flash video > About. You can also check Windows Control Panel > Flash Player > Advanced.

Thank you, both. It looks like the proper versions are now running on IE and Firefox. Adobe Flash did crash on me a few times in Firefox (on the 11.3.300.262 update). So I restarted my computer...it may have been a bit overwhelmed with all the updates I threw on it. Hopefully that will fix the issue.
