![]() For most people, that's absolutely the wrong choice. ![]() What I'm more concerned with, is making sure that folks that read this thread don't interpret the existence of a workaround as a tacet recommendation for staying on an unpatched operating system and browser. That's actually why I'm happy to throw some tips your way. As long as you're capable of realistically assessing your risk in the context of the current operational environment, great. I'm not personally invested in the outcome of your individual choice, and I certainly don't need a justification. You're always welcome to ignore our guidance. The forums are here as a community resource, and the discussion here will be referred to by hundreds of other people. If you don’t know how to hexedit a file, this hack is not for you, or you should learn how to do it in another place. After this, no out-of-date warning anymore, and chrome://components and chrome://plugins show correct version. If you just edit this DLL file with an hexadecimal editor, you can find string " 21.0.0.213" and replace it with actual version: "27.0.0.170" (remember that both strings must be the same length!). But if you allow the plugin to "Run this time" and check Flash version online you’ll see that it’s actually using the new version! That’s because, as I said before, plugin version number is hardcoded into Chrome executable:Ĭ:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\.112\chrome.dll If you check chrome://components, still shows " pepper_flash - Version: 21.0.0.213". ![]() You’ll receive the same message "Adobe Flash Player was blocked because it is out of date". Now you can start Chrome and it’ll seem that nothing has changed. Now copy pepflashplayer32_27_0_0_170.dll and manifest.json from there to folder:Ĭ:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\.112\PepperFlash\ĭelete pepflashplayer.dll file and rename the new DLL file to this name. You will find latest files and plugins at this folder: At this moment is 27.0.0.170, but this may work for future updates. Install latest Flash Player via web installer. This is the official version, BUT, here comes the hack. ![]() So, if you (still) use Windows XP or Vista and you aren’t allowed to update from last compatible version (.112), then you can’t update flash plugin from included version (21.0.0.213). I’ve concluded that Chrome doesn’t allow Flash plugin to be updated independently of main application. ![]()
