Unfortunately, the Flash site was then unable to detect the plug-in, so I’m back to 22.0.0.209. I also noticed that neither the Beta nor Dev Portable versions appear to have a pepperflash component at all. Just wanted to note that on Google Groups, Anthony Laforge has posted that Chrome 49 is being blocked from further Flash updates due to an "incompatibility": https://productforums.google.com/d/msg/chrome/Wxv-K1nnztk/dtd6xkzHAgAJ I'm not really sure he means. The ActiveX and Firefox/Opera plugins of Flash 23 work correctly, so I'm not sure what would keep the PepperFlash version from working.
bluebolt Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 (edited) Apparently blackwingcat has attempted a fix, but to no avail. He posted on his blog that support has been cut for pre-Vista or Win 7 operating systems (not sure of the translation), either of which obviously rules out XP. Edited September 20, 2016 by bluebolt

Glad this got sorted pretty easily, I was afraid we're having yet another situation where something mysteriously works for one person but not for another with the same specs; those can be a real pain to sort out.
sdfox7 Posted October 5, 2016 Posted October 5, 2016 Just an update: M-Vargas, STAFF at Adobe, says the bug has been assigned to a developer. As the ActiveX and NPAPI control still work, the recommendation is to use Firefox with the NPAPI control, or Internet Explorer with the ActiveX control. Adobe has not dropped support for XP, so it is not an XP problem. Since the bug has been assigned to a developer at Adobe, it appears that Adobe supplies the pepflashplayer.dll to Google? You can continue to get the 22.0.0.209 from my FTP. Re: Flash PPAPI plugin 23.0.0.162 doesn't work in Opera and Chromium
Monroe Posted October 8, 2016 Posted October 8, 2016 (edited) Seems to be a new Shockwave Player update released from the last one ... March 2016. Shockwave Player 12.2.5.195 September 30, 2016 ... I have a question about updating with a newer version of Shockwave Player. How do some of you install a newer version? For years I have always used the Shockwave Player Uninstaller to remove the current version on my computer and everything connected with that version that may be in various areas on the computer ... then I install the new version. Do some of you just install a new version over the older version without cleaning or removing the older version? TIA ... Edited October 8, 2016 by monroe
dencorso Posted October 9, 2016 Author Posted October 9, 2016 I do. I never had to uninstall the previous Shockwave Player version 1st. And I always got my installer from this official link. 1
Monroe Posted October 9, 2016 Posted October 9, 2016 OK ... from now on I will just install the new Shockwave Player version over the older version ... sure will be a lot easier than all the steps I have been doing. Yes, I only use that link since you posted about it several months back ... but some newer readers may not know about it. ...
sdfox7 Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 Update: Adobe Flash Player has been updated to 23.0.0.185 on October 11, 2016. You can read the security bulletin here: https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/flash-player/apsb16-32.html The Internet Explorer ActiveX plugin is available here: http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/pdc/23.0.0.185/install_flash_player_ax.exe The NPAPI for Firefox is available here: http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/pdc/23.0.0.185/install_flash_player.exe Please note: The Internet Explorer plugin only appears to function under Internet Explorer Compatibility Mode. When I tested under regular browsing mode in Internet Explorer 8, the plugin did not execute.
heinoganda Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 Currently, the Flash Player for Opera or Chromium (install_flash_player ppapi.exe) version v23.0.0.185 can be reused! Tested with Google Chrome v49.0.2623.112. 1

Tested with Google Chrome v49.0.2623.112. Installing the above file did not change the installed version on my system. As I quoted above, Google has detected an incompatibility with the PPAPI Flash 23 and Chrome 49 and has blocked distribution. https://productforums.google.com/d/msg/chrome/Wxv-K1nnztk/dtd6xkzHAgAJ
heinoganda Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 (edited) @sdfox7 First, install "install_flash_player_23_ppapi.exe", then copy the "pepflashplayer32_23_0_0_185.dll" and "manifest.json" files from "%windir%\system32\Macromed\Flash" to "%ProgramFiles%\Google\Chrome\Application\49.0.2623.112\PepperFlash". Finally, delete the existing file "pepflashplayer.dll" and rename the file "pepflashplayer32_23_0_0_185.dll" to "pepflashplayer.dll". For me the version 23.0.0.185 works so far.

Dave-H Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 The first version of the PPAPI Flash 23 plugin didn't work at all for me, as it didn't for anyone by all accounts! I read this was fixed in 23.0.0.185, but when I installed it, although the plugin would now load, unlike its predecessor, it was really unstable, crashing all the time both in Opera 26 and Slimjet 10. I didn't try it in Google Chrome 49, as although I have it installed I don't actually use it. I've gone back to 22.0.0.209 which works fine.
heinoganda Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 (edited) @Dave-H Can not understand, especially since I have no crashes or other problems when I use the flash version 23.0.0.185 in Google Chrome. Where or on what websites did the problems occur? Just have a test run with an even older version (44.0.2403.130) of Google Chrome, works for me impeccably!? Thats funny!
