Question

How to distribute PPAPI Flash Player

Hi,

Our Windows Application uses Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF3) to render web pages. The Web pages also contain the flash content. To display the flash content in CEF3, we need to install the PPAPI flash plugin. To install PPAPI plugin, player needs to manually open the link in the browser from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ and manually select the OS and PPAPI in second step and install it. We can not expect player can do all these steps. So we need better approach to install the PPAPI flash plugin at player windows systems.

1. Can we directly open a link where it detects the OS and download the corresponding flash installer and start installing it.

2. Can we keep copy of the installer [flashplayer20pp_ha_install.exe] at our web server and download from our web server and install it. [Will there be any licence issue for this aproach].

3. Any other solutions?

Hi,

Flash player comes embedded with chrome browser.

You don't need to install PPAPI plugin.

Thanks

@sridharkalla,

Can you provide the user agent string for CEF (or your application if it differs)?  I can ask the team that maintains get.adobe.com/flashplayer if they can autodetect this case and provide PPAPI automatically.

Thanks,

Chris

    User agent I am getting from CEF is

    "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/47.0.2526.16 Safari/537.36"
