I have noticed the PPAPI Flash plugin was installed in the same directory as the NPAPI plugin: c:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash for the 64 bit architecture and c:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash for the 32 bit one. Personally, I have never changed the intallation directory of the PPAPI plugin so chances are many people did the same. Consequently, I wonder if Iron or Chrome can be set in a simple way to load automatically the PPAPI plugin if it exists instead of the NPAPI one without using the command line parameters.

Should be autodetected from Iron/Chromium 44 and above

As the user above (notme) has said, it made little difference when I put the quote tags in.

I did try a few times, but not luck.

Is there any chance you could provide some simple instructional picture screenshots to help?
Sorry to be a bother.

Seems like I've found the issue.

You have to start Iron as Adminstrator in Windows Vista and above.
Otherwise Iron has no permission to read in C:/Windows/SysWOW64

Try it.

I followed Rookies instructions and it worked? I can't really tell what the difference between today and yesterday was.

Except for 169 and 188 in the shortcut (whatever that is)

Adobe released a new flash Version (188 instead of version 169)
