For the same of testing (and debugging…) my Flex application on Windows 8 (which comes with IE10), I just downloaded the Flash Debug Player 11.4.402.287 – however, trying to install it merely shows a message box saying
The installation encountered errors: Your Microsoft Internet Explorer browser includes the latest version of the Adobe Flash Player built-in. Windows Update will inform you when new versions of the Flash Player are available.
I'm using Internet Explorer 10.0.9200.16384 on Windows 8. A bit of Google research suggested that IE10 has a Flash player built-in (similiar to what Google Chrome has) so I looked for a way to disable the player. It seems that this is indeed possible by clicking the Cogwheel icon in the IE10 toolbar and then selecting 'Manage Add-ons'. The dialog which shows up shows a 'Shockwave Flash Object' entry. However, even with the built-in Flash player disabled, the Flash Debug Player installer keeps giving the same message.
Does anybody know how I can install the Flash Debug Player in IE10?

Adobe posted on their forum about this:
So it seems like it's not available yet, but should be in the next few weeks.
Update
The flash debug player is now available on the adobe website.
