In June 2017 I posted a comprehensive step-by-step guide (with pictures) on how to update Flash Player (PepperFlash) for Google Chrome on Windows XP.

Part of that solution includes changing the version number on the folder

C:\Documents and Settings\Stephen Fox\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\PepperFlash\28.0.0.137

(You must replace "Stephen Fox" above with whatever the name of your user account name is.)

After pasting the updated file in that folder, the version number must be updated, otherwise the chrome:\\plugins flag will not correctly detect the correct version of the plugin that is inside the folder.

Here is what I believe to be the simplest procedure for updating Adobe Flash Player for Google Chrome on Windows XP

Hi,

Did you try installation after reboot? Do you still see the same error?

Thanks!

Yes! I did it, but I'm still having problem with this page. http://www.webgameu.com/webgames/sports/DaBomb_Pong.html

Unfortunately, I am not able to reproduce. The site http://www.webgameu.com/webgames/sports/DaBomb_Pong.html is working for me:

Note that the version in chrome://plugins is incorrect. This is because chrome://plugins is using the version that was installed by Chrome, not the version I installed manually (and copied to the Chome plugin's location).

The last version of Chrome for Windows XP only detects, and loads, the embedded version of Flash Player. It will not load the non-embedded version (which you have installed) by default. There are 2 ways to solve this:

Option 1:

Launch Chrome with the --ppapi-flash-path and --ppapi-flash-version command-line arguments telling Chrome which Flash Player version to load:

For example, on a 64-bit OS:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --ppapi-flash-path="C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\pepflashplayer32_26_0_0_89.dll" --ppapi-flash-version="26.0.0.89"
On a 32-bit OS, use:
"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --ppapi-flash-path="C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\pepflashplayer32_26_0_0_89.dll" --ppapi-flash-version="26.0.0.89"

If you have a short-cut to Chrome, you can edit the shortcut 'Target' to include these arguments and parameters

Option 2:

Copy the pepflashplayer32_VERSION.dll from the Macromed\Flash directory to the Google embedded Flash Player version location and rename it to pepflashplayer.dll

Launch Chrome
Navigate to chrome://plugins
Locate the Flash Player entry and look for the Flash Path directory (you may need to expand the entry details).
Go to the Macromed\Flash directory corresponding with the Chrome bit version (32-bit Chrome, go to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\, 64-bit Chrome go to C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\)
Copy the pepflashplayer DLL file from the Macromed\Flash directory and paste it into the Flash Path directory obtained in step 2 above. Rename the file to pepflashplayer.dll
Launch Chrome
It should launch with the newer version

You will need to do this with each release of Flash Player as the last version of Chrome for XP only loads the file from the embedded version location, no the \Macromed\Flash location.

I am confused about what file i need to rename this is what the path looks like now.

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\PepperFlash

In the PepperFlash file there are two more files one named the ole version which is 23.0.0.164 and the other i may have changed, but it's Pepperflash.dll.

I have put the new version 27.0.0.130 In both because again I am confused on where it goes.

Which file do i rename, and what if It does not solve my plugin problem?

I have done this but flash is still reading that it is 23, not 21 sorry for the confusion.

problem still not yet resolved.

Thank you for you r help.
