Please provide an installer (or adapt the existing) for flashplayer 10.3 for people with cpus without sse2. According to https://www.adobe.com/support/programs/policies/supported.html 10.3 is still supported by adobe (which means it gets security fixes), although I couldn't find anything about how long it will be supported.

Background: There is an one year old upstream bug report: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3161034, which probably means, that this issue will never be fixed by adobe. So instead of letting people down by either having no working flash at all (if they don't have the necessary knowledge to fix this) or by being forced to use fishy workarounds (like old flash versions with known security issues), this would provide an easy to use and fairly secure fix for this problem.
