I'm testing out the eo.webbrowser control with the free trial to see if it meets my needs and I am unable to get flash to load
is this a limitation of the free trial?
i have flash installed on my system
i have tried putting each of these files alongside the eo.webbrowser dll
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32_20_0_0_306.dll
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\pepflashplayer32_20_0_0_306.dll
C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF64_20_0_0_306.dll
C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\pepflashplayer64_20_0_0_306.dll

i have also tried putting each of those files in a new directory and using EO.WebBrowser.Runtime.AdditionalPluginsDirs to force the control to scan for plugins

nothing is working

update:
i downloaded an older version of the control. v15.3.31 and flash is working
could chrome disabling NPAPI support in newer versions be the cause of this?

Hi,

Please download the new build from our download page and Flash should work in this build.

The issue indeed was caused by newer version of the Chromium browser engine disabled NPAPI. The new build only support PPAPI plug-in. So if the Flash plugin installed on your machine is NPAPI, then you must download it again. See here for more instructions:

Please let us know if you still have any trouble playing Flash files.

Thanks

Hi,

The demo is updated, however Flash is not installed on our server. So you wouldn't be able to verify it with our demo.

Thanks!
