Problems with Flash in PWB 3 CEF

Post by jdonovan »

We opened a new library, and set the PCs up to use PWB 3 CEF with Chrome Version 41.0.2272.89 m.
Users have been experiencing issues getting to http://yourtexasbenefits.com, among other places.
It either does nothing, or tells them that they need to update Flash
Left is through PWB, right is Chrome Version 41.0.2272.89 m

It works fine in Chrome and IE 11, just not in PWB.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

In PWB, it's saying Flash is installed, but disabled.
But, in the plugins on Chrome, it's set for always allowed.

What version of PWB v3 CEF are you using including the minor revision number, for example 3.04.2?

Did you try re-installing Flash?

It never installs, or it is not reported by the web site?

If you run IE does it report Flash is installed?

The Chrome browser uses it own internal Flash based player. At this point in time the CEF HTML rendering engine uses the install-able version of Flash from Adobe.

Are you getting any errors when installing Flash?

Try using the Flash Stand Alone installer.

Scott,
That looks like it may help. I'm rolling it out to some of the affected computers for testing.
Thanks
