kept getting error on install to the likes of cannot open NPSWF32.dll…. Nothing posted on other websites, to include messing with the registry, worked that is until I followed your instructions. I have a VISTA O/S so i searched for appdata and bingo I was on the road to being able to paste the aforementioned files in a newly created folder I named “Plugins”. Now everything flash works perfectly on Chrome.
Thanks a million to the original blogger and to the other posters that made this possible. Peace out!
C:…… appdata/Local/Google/Chrome/Application/ and new folder: “Plugins” (with pasted files of course).

Dealing with this for a few months now. Finally a real solution. I did have some problem with finding the plugins directory (I’m using Windows 7) so here are my results.

If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7, go to c:\(YOURUSERNAME)\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\. If there is not a Plugins folder there, create a new folder with the name “Plugins.” Paste NPSWF32.dll & flashplayer.xpt into the Plugins folder. Quit and restart Google Chrome and retry.
Make sure to replace (YOURUSERNAME) in the above path with your actual windows username. If not sure what it is go to Task Manager (CTRL+SHIFT+ESC) and look at the users tab.

I opened google chrome typed about:plugins in the address bar then went to the bottom where it states
Shockwave Flash
File name: NPSWF32.dll
Shockwave Flash 10.0 r32
The latest version, Google Chrome still has a bug that will not display flash content.
The above URL has been tested with
IE all versions from 6 up and the flash plays perfectly
FireFox All Versions from 2 up and again the flash plays perfectly
Opera the last two versions work perfectly
A hacked version of Netscape even works…..LOL

While chrome is the fastest it has a major bug with it’s flash

Do the first part by going to: C/Documents and settings/your user name

At this point go to Tools / folder options / show hidden files / ok

you should now see Local Settings and can do the rest

Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\Plugins

Just wanted to thank you. Locked workstation at work. It’s already a miracle that Chrome was able to install itself. No hope that the “flashplayer.exe” from Adobe would be allowed to install itself with registry and such.
The method you describe, based simply on file extraction at the right place, is a nice workaround for me. Thanks a lot.
