I downloaded it and I put in the newgrounds portal link and it still wouldnt play the game. I cant tell if im doing something wrong.
If you're using windows 10, I fiddled around for a while and eventually got it working.
- I installed the latest version of Newgrounds player.
- I have 7-zip installed.
- I opened File explorer and went to C:\Program Files (x86)\Newgrounds\Newgrounds Player.
- I copied install_flash_player_32_active_x.msi to the desktop, Right clicked the file, and selected 7-zip>Extract Files..., and clicked OK on the window that popped up.
- There will be a new folder on your desktop, with the same name as the .msi file. Inside there will be a number of files, data1.cab is the one you want. Right click and select 7-zip> Extract here.
- A new file will pop up in the folder, called InstallAX_32_0_0_363.exe. Right click it and select Properties.
- In the Properties window, Go to the Compatibility tab, select "Run this program in compatibility mode for:", and select windows xp service pack 3. Click OK.
- Delete every other file in the folder except the InstallAX_32_0_0_363.exe, and run it. Proceed with the installation as normal.
- Newgrounds player should now work, unless I screwed this set of steps up somehow. Try using a game that requires it, like this. https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/610807

I've been trying to install NG Player for weeks, and your solution is the only one that finally worked (at least so far). Hopefully Microsoft doesn't make this workaround nonfunctional too.
so cool!

Thank you so much, was looking to get Flash re-enabled so I can use Swiff Player again and tried so many things but nothing else worked.

Thank you so much for helping me solve the issue! It worked perfectly! You are seriously amazing for this, I cant thank you enough! I hope you have a fantastic day.

Thanks a ton. Has anyone forwarded this to the mods?

This worked wonders! For the time being, Newgrounds Player works again. Thank you so much

Yeah, I ran into the same problem you had. I'm not sure if it's because I'm on a 64-bit Windows 10 installation or just one that's already run across the aggressive updates trying to bury Flash. I even went as far as using the Wayback Machine to find a more recent version of the MSI file and performed the same steps to get a version of the executable that ends in 465, but the only difference is that the error message let me know it's intended for Windows 7 or earlier even though it was running in compatibility mode for XP SP3.
This solution in darksteel131's post on another thread worked for me, luckily (running flashplayer_32_ax_debug.exe under compatibility mode for Windows 7). Have you tried that?
For those curious: The Adobe support page for the standalone debug versions of the Flash Players is still live here at the time of this writing, for some reason. The browser plugin versions can still be accessed via archive dot org by choosing a date between December 8th and the 31st of 2020, though some browsers will ignore your installation attempts anyway (i.e.- Firefox's complete lack of NPAPI support). The latest MSI versions of the installers can be accessed similarly here, if you want to give those a try instead.
The versions of Flash for Windows 8 or newer can also be accessed this way, and apparently WinRAR can actually open their file-type (MSU) as an archive; Unfortunately, there's no easy to understand and extract executable inside.

this worked for me thank you so much for making such a concise and clear fix. i hope adobe doesnt start some shit and try and ruin this fix.

We've been posting the solution literally hundreds of times. It been posted mutiple times in the news section which gets pinned on every page of Newgrounds.
People simply ignored, didn't read, and just kept posting the question over and over even while it was pinned to the top of every main page. There's literally threads where it's been answered 4 to 5 times in the same thread and people continue to ask in the same exact thread.
I gave up giving the solution.

I don't think it works for me

Did I do it right?
Help? I copied that .msi file to the desktop, had 7-zip installed, but when I right-click it (the .msi file) it doesn't show the 7-zip extract thing.
UH OH WORM IS NO MORE!

Same, this is too much to be doing just to play some shitty flash games online....ok I'm sorry, there are damn great ones I'd like to play again, but the fact I have to go through this much effort just to play is just bad. Also I'm just too fucking lazy anymore to participate in trying to get a broken software to work.
Seriously, why even bother releasing a software you claim will play flash if it doesn't even work? At least Ruffle is more competent than this bullshit...and it's a demo!

Thank you so much, pls take my reddit gold.
Writes that the latest version of the flash player in the browser is already installed in the Explorer browser. For this reason, I cannot update.

Worked for me too, thanks!
I would just like for NG to just embed the flash into the website instead of hounding me to use a player that doesn't even work on linux. My browser plays flash files just fine so it's annoying that all websites now hide the flashes saying i can't play them even tho i clearly can. Is there a "just give me the .swf" button i am missing?

Go to your account settings and disable both "use Newgrounds Player" and "use Ruffle".
If I should ever vanish without a trace, assume until proven otherwise that olskoo banned me due to penis envy.
