Adobe Flash, Shockwave, and Oracle Java on XP (Part 1)

Posted (edited)

Today the version 26.0.0.94 was released by the beta flashplayer, unfortunately the PPAPI Flashplayer for chromium-based webbrowser does not work either. So continue to wait and drink tea.

Little addition:
The existing PPAPI Flashplayer in the program directory of Google Chrome (C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Applications\49.0.2623.112\PepperFlash\) does not need to be deleted! If another user profile (other user in Windows XP) is set up, the PPAPI Flashplayer existing in Google Chrome's program path is first used. The PPAPI Flashplayer directory in Google Chrome's user profile
(\Documents and Settings\$USER$\LocalSettings\ApplicationData\Google\Chrome\UserData\PepperFlash\25.0.0.148\) corresponds to the regular Google Chrome components update path.

Beta 26.0.0.94 was posted yesterday, but was digitally signed April 29, well before I discovered the issue. I am almost certain that the issue will be fixed in the final shipping version.

Hi all, I just got a reply over at Adobe, and we are back in business with the Google Chrome PepperFlash PPAPI on Windows XP.

The latest stable is version 25.0.0.171, and the latest beta is 26.0.0.102. Both work on XP.

Sometimes you just have to ask nicely, and people will be willing to help you out.

Beta channel has been updated to 26.0.0.123, and is confirmed working with Google Chrome on Windows XP.

VERY IMPORTANT: Google deprecated NPAPI in 2015. (https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/npapi)

If you are using Google Chrome 44 or older, you will need to use the NPAPI plugin. My testing reveals that the PPAPI plugin does NOT work on older versions of Chrome. This is particularly useful for older legacy systems with non-SSE2 compatible processors, such as my Gateway 2000 Solo 9300 with Pentium III.

If you are using Google Chrome 45 or newer, you will need to use the PPAPI plugin. My testing reveals that the NPAPI plugin does NOT work on newer versions of Chrome (up to 49, the last supported version for Windows XP.

Chrome 45 and newer PPAPI: https://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashruntimes/flashplayer/install_flash_player_ppapi.exe

Chrome 44 and older NPAPI: https://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashruntimes/flashplayer/install_flash_player.exe

I just wanted to remark that the "online" installers (that download if you go to https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/) no longer seem to work on my XP system. I get bogus errors about my C: drive being full. The "offline" installers Bersaglio gives above work just fine, however.

@sdfox7 p3 can still browse Web ?

Yes. For that system you need to use Google Chrome 34 or older, which does not require SSE2 , or Firefox 48 or older that does not require SSE2. Internet Explorer 8 still works with a lot of sites, believe it or not!
