The new beta 26.0.0.89 released on 4/27 does not work in Chrome and Windows XP. All previous versions did.

Windows XP is still a supported operating system. Also, the normal Internet Explorer and Firefox plugins work correctly, both on Windows 2000 and XP. It's only the Chrome PPAPI that does not. Available from this page: Download Adobe Flash Player 26 Beta for Desktops - Adobe Labs

I hope this question doesn't add confusion, but I have to put this out there because it ensued when the discussions started on ActiveX, NPAPI, and PPAPI static links, and offline installers at the bottom of tech notes versus PDC/Version directory files.

The discussion in this thread now seems to have swayed from the title. The thread started about the question on the new Beta Plug-In PPAPI not working in Chrome, Windows XP.

Why is the Adobe Labs page to update Beta Flash Player referenced? I'd like to update to Beta Flash Player 27 with Google Chrome, Windows XP, but the various Beta installers for Windows, Mac and Linux OS’s are available for Flash Player using Opera and Chromium browsers, not Google Chrome.

Even though Chrome is based on Chromium, they’re two different browsers. Chromium contains the same sync features found in Chrome because Google released the Chromium source code, but Google adds closed-source bits to their browser and sandboxed Pepper (PPAPI) Flash plug-ins.

If licensed codecs for proprietary media formats in Chrome are lacking in Chromium, then is this thread discussing different browsers now other than Google Chrome?

There should not be any confusion about the intent of my original post. The purpose of my original post was about the new beta PPAPI plug in not working on Chrome. However, this is no longer the case, the beta PPAPI does indeed work on Chrome and XP, and naturally, anyone visiting this page should have the most current and up to date information. Hence the reason for updating it.

"Why is the Adobe Labs page to update Beta Flash Player referenced?"

This is the location where the original problem link existed.

"I'd like to update to Beta Flash Player 27 with Google Chrome, Windows XP, but the various Beta installers for Windows, Mac and Linux OS’s are available for Flash Player using Opera and Chromium browsers, not Google Chrome."

Opera and Chromium use the same PPAPI plug in as Chrome, unless you are using Chrome older than version 45, in which case you would use the NPAPI plug in, not the PPAPI plug in. So the file is the same as the one for Firefox and Netscape. Firefox grew out of Netscape when AOL bought Netscape in 1998, and Netscape 6 and later were Mozilla based.

The downloadable program for the current Adobe Flash Player in your tutorial (step 2) from Adobe's website raises a question that I may have misunderstood. The comment states how to update Flash Player when a version changed.

(to substitute the version number in the URL for the current one).

First, I have to ask, I don't see how you can substitute a new version in the URL when running a program from the Adobe website?

Secondly, what difference is there between the tutorial step 2, and the .exe program for beta update from 26.0.0.131 to 26.0.0.133 ?

I copied the links for reference :

http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/pdc/26.0.0.131/install_flash_player.exe (from Step 2 - Chrome 45 to 49 PPAPI)

https://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashruntimes/flashplayer/install_flash_player_ ppapi.exe (Chrome 45 and newer PPAPI)

The offline installers are posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows 7 and earlier page in the 'Still having problems' section. You should use this page to obtain the offline installers, as opposed to links that change with each release.

Hi sdfox7

For the same reason, it's best to point users to the help page, not post direct links, especially links that change regularly. This is why we always post links to the help pages, not direct links themselves.

Thank you.
