If you only want to use Flash from within Chrome or IE10/IE11 then you don't have to install Flash from Adobe because it comes bundled with those browsers. So, the installer should not run at all for those users.

Other than that - I don't see an option to install Flash without PlayPanel.

I just updated to Flash 14 on Windows 7 both, other browsers and IE, and the PlayPanel was not installed along with it.
