Dear Lazyweb, Is there some way of getting the latest version of Flash Player installed into a portable (USB key-based) version of Firefox without having to run the installer.exe? I want Flash Player 9 on my Firefox Portable. I’m on a WinXP system that requires Administrator access to run installers, and there is no up to date Flash player (I think ver. 7 is installed on the IE instance on the machine).
So, what I really need, I guess, is the Flash.dll. But I have no way of obtaining it. Hi, I’m not sure of the permissions issues for Portable-style computing, but wouldn’t your Firefox installation contain its own local Plugins folder on the thumb drive? Once you update Adobe Flash Player for your Portable Firefox installation, then it should be available on any processor you may be using, true?
Hmm, or maybe the problem is that you can’t install.anything. on the PC you’re currently using, and don’t have any other PC on which you can install to the thumb drive. Is this closer to what you’re facing there? As trib indicated, Flash (under Firefox, anyway) doesn’t actually require any kind of installation process. All you need to do is copy two files from the Flash installer to the Firefox plugins directory. Specifically, you’ll need to copy these two files: flashplayer.xpt, NPSWF32.dll To this directory: Mozilla Firefoxplugins You can do this either by installing Flash on a separate computer and copying the files over (as trib did), or by simply extracting the necessary files from the Flash installer and copying them directly.
There are a few programs capable of doing this, but to make the process easier I’ve wrapped them into an easy-to-use program that can extract files from several different types of installer (and other archives). The name of the program is Universal Extractor, and it can be downloaded from here: Hope this helps. You will probably want the shockwave player aswell, I’ll save you some time:-) To install the shockwaveplayer with Firefox do this: Do this:. Download the shockwave installer (.exe). Extract it using unpackingsoftware, such as WinRar or TugZip.
copy the files into the firefox plugin directory (same as for flash above). No subdir is allowed, just dump all of it in the plugin-directory. restart firefox Tested it with a random shockwavegame and it worked!
I tried my old favorite from Heavy.com, Iron Stomach, but it didn’t work:-( Probably more issues than just the player, because it was written long ago in the Internet Explorer golden days:-) Well, I guess that it isn’t so bad that IE is included by default after all;-) /Mikael. “”On 10.27.06 nitro322 said: As trib indicated, Flash (under Firefox, anyway) doesn’t actually require any kind of installation process.

Anything “fun” I want to do has to be portable or installer-less While searching from/based on the links above, I found a couple places where you can download the npswf32.dll file on the internet by itself – a Google search and about 30 seconds of exploring gave me at least three different sources.
I wasn’t sure, though, whether this was the latest/updated version, so I searched a little deeper. I ended up getting a few different things to make it all work – a couple extra steps, but isn’t that what “workAROUND” kinda implies?
1 – whichever flash installer you happen to want to download – I found a download depot for all versions: pointed me to where I downloaded the Flash Player 9 package – this includes several versions of the installers, including the Netscape(etc) windows installer that you need. 2 – Next, go to the “Universal Extractor” page mentioned above – I KNOW, I KNOW, you can’t install that either – bear with me There’s a “binaries only” download package on that site – get THAT one. 3 – Inconveniently, the package above comes as a RAR archive, which requires wait for it INSTALLING some sort of RAR-extracting device. WELL, luckily for us, there’s a 7zip dealie at portableapps.com that works nicely to extract said archives. SO – although there are a few hoops to jump through, it’s not REALLY difficult to get these files, from an official/trusted source, in their latest versions, without having to actually install anything. As advised by our friends the following is worked like a charm.
