I'm having trouble installing NPAPI Flash Player plug-in into Google Chrome 45
As of version 45 Chrome has permanently disabled support for NPAPI plugins (from September 1, 2015).
See below for instructions on what to do fix problems with Flash.
Plugin-based content doesn't work on Chrome
Plugins previously allowed extra features to be added to browsers. Most of these features can now be included by website creators in a more secure way by default as part of HTML5. Chrome support for these plugins ended September 1, 2015.
Why NPAPI plugins don’t work now
In the past, many plugins were developed using an old system called
NPAPI. Today fewer sites are using NPAPI plugins and they have often
caused security risks on websites.
To make browsing with Chrome safer, faster, and more stable, we
stopped allowing NPAPI plugins on September 1, 2015.
Plugins that use NPAPI, including Silverlight, Java, and Unity, won’t
work. If you want to use a website that uses an NPAPI plugin, you’ll
need to use a different web browser.
PPAPI plugins still work
Plugins that use a newer, more secure system called Pepper API (PPAPI) still work. That includes plugins that come with Chrome, like Adobe Flash. PPAPI plugins that come with Chrome update when Chrome does, so there's no need to install anything extra.
Fix Flash problems
If Flash isn't working, try these solutions to fix the problem:
Step 1: Turn on PPAPI plugins.
- Open Chrome.
- In the address bar at the top, type
chrome://plugins
and press Enter.
- Click Details.
- Scroll down to "Adobe Flash Player."
- Under "Type: PPAPI," click Enable.
Step 2: Make sure Chrome is up-to-date. You get Adobe Flash player on
Chrome automatically, and it updates when Chrome does.
Step 3: Update Adobe Flash Player manually.
- Open Chrome.
- In the address bar at the top, type
chrome://components
and press Enter.
- Under "pepper_flash," click
Check for update.
Plugins that use NPAPI, including Silverlight, Java, and Unity, won’t
work.

It seems this just mean the latest Adobe Connect no longer works in the latest Google Chrome, on Mac at least. – Computist – 2015-09-08T20:08:20.877
@Computist Could be. I don't have a Mac or use Adobe Connect so I can't test it. – DavidPostill – 2015-09-08T20:10:08.950
