A portable application can be run from a removable drive (USB flash drive, iPod, portable hard drive, etc) on any Windows computer without installation.
You will carry the program with settings on removable drive and don't modify settings on host computer.
Tested on Windows XP Pro SP3 and Windows 7 Integrale SP1.
On Vista and 7 turn off User Account Control (UAC) or run launcher as admin.

I installed ChromePortable. But do not get to install the Flash Plugin. How do I do?

Bernat said...

If you install plugin in:
X:\PortableApps\
Installer will check if found:
X:\PortableApps\ChromePortable\App\Chrome\gcswf32.dll

Otherwise Installer with DLL (3.5 MB)

Flash has been updated to 11.4.402.265.

Any plans on a new release?

Bernat said...

Done.
For me, the official froze Firefox and this come from the latest Chrome Dev.

Vinyl Room said...

Flash has been updated to 11.4.402.278 so now waiting for a portable for this version.

Bernat said...

You can test but for me froze Firefox.

Vinyl Room said...

Bernat,

Which version froze your Firefox?

Like I say I am waiting on the 11.4.402.278 portable version, then I just extract and replace the needed driver.

I prefer them from here as anywhere else and the player just doesn't work.

Bernat said...

The test froze Firefox 15.0.1 on Windows 7 SP1 x64 and I have to kill Firefox.exe and plugin-container.exe processes.

In message:
11.4.402.265 dll comes from Chrome
11.4.402.278 dll comes from Flash plugin installer

Vinyl Room said...

"11.4.402.278 dll comes from Flash plugin installer"

That's the reason why I have to install it using the portable being that the plugin installer sandbox doesn't work on my older system, therefore all I do is normally extract the portable version from here, then take out the necessary driver and replace it in the appropriate directory, and when I do this it then reports I have the correct version.

Vinyl Room said...

Will there be an update on here for the latest portable version 11.4.402.278 ?

Bernat said...

Official is yet in post.
Waiting from Chrome for no crash in Firefox on x64.

Vinyl Room said...

I am currently using the portable for 11.4.402.278 on Opera 12.02, seems to be ok, although I received a lagging script notification error once on blogspot, tried it on Firefox 3.6.28 and it's fine there too.

Vinyl Room said...

Just to say thank you for the 11.4.402.278 version of which I have installed as I prefer to use them from here.

Vinyl Room said...

Is it better to just keep using the 11.4.402.278 version when using the Opera 12.02 browser and Firefox 3.6.28 ??

Bernat said...

Test what is better for you.

For me all official 32 bit dll crashes with all Firefox on a 64 bit system.
I have in Plugins:
11.5.500.80 64 bit for 64 bit browsers
11.4.402.265 32 bit for Firefox

11.4.402.265 from Chrome will be the latest: they use now PepperFlash.

Roman Bladzich said...

same here, 11.4.402.278 and 11.5.500.80 crash with FF Portable 15.0.1, the plugin from Chrome works OK.

Just for My Memory said...

Disable the Protected Mode of Flash Player, and everything will be OK.

This is only Flash Player's Protected Mode fault.

Vinyl Room said...

Is this a typo error ? Download Flash 11.4.402.287, should it not be 278 ?

Roman Bladzich said...

alright but how can I disable the Protected Mode if I use portable versions of FF and Flash?

Bernat said...

11.4.402.287 is latest stable build
Update launcher to disable the Protected Mode

Just for My Memory said...

Thanks Bernat.

@Roman Bladzich: You can download the updated version above.
Or the guide to disable Protected Mode is here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071

Bernat said...

I had yet tried but with mms.cfg in Plugins: not worked.
The updated launcher create this file in sysdir\macromed\flash (backup-create-restore-delete)

Vinyl Room said...

Tested 11.4.402.287 latest version on both Firefox 3.6.28 and Opera 12.02 build 1578, and both play flash normally, of course because I have 98 I use the needed driver files and extract them to the appropriate flash folder, and adobe reports I have the latest version for both browsers.

Vinyl Room said...

Flash 11.5.500.90 Beta

Works well on Firefox 3.6.28 & Opera 12.02 b1578

dragonetti said...

Sorry I am a bit confused here.
I have a directory
d:\portable_apps\firefox

In the firefox directory there are the following directories:
- App
- Data
- Other


Within the "Data" folder there is an "Plugin" folder.

When I copy the extracted files of
"Flash_Portable_11.5.500.97_32-64_Plugin" into:

Firefox_portable\Data\plugins\

And replace the "FirefoxPortable.exe" with the one provided above:

Download Updated Firefox Launcher (0.08 MB)

It seems to work, but is this the correct way to set it up? Because the description states:

"...Extracted once in CommonFiles\Plugins in your PortableApps folder (if test fail run latest browser installer)..."

I do not have a "CommonFiles" directory and I do not have an ".ini" text file (which should be used to configure the "CommonFiles" dir?)

The firefox portable I use is from:
http://portableapps.com

If someone could give some pointers that would be appreciated!

Thank you

Bernat said...

I don't understand why people change default paths.
I don't see interest to use portable_apps in place of PortableApps.

If you have NPSWF32.dll in Firefox_portable\Data\plugins\ it should work for Flash but not for Java and Thunderbird association (you have to remove underscores)

dragonetti said...

Thank you for the feedback,

I changed the paths to keep it more readable for me.
I didn't know that the directory name shouldn't be changed in order for the plug-ins and such to work correctly.

I have a D:\ drive which contains other folders in order to have a faster access to the portable apps I even add an underscore so the folder always displays on top of everything else in windows explorer.

But now I know I have to keep the foldernames as is.

Again, thank you.

Bernat said...

It is not the name (FirefoxPortable) but only the number of characters (15) that is used to know the path of parent folder (D:\PortableApps) and determine the path of subfolders (D:\PortableApps\CommonFiles\Plugins) (D:\PortableApps\CommonFiles\Java) (D:\PortableApps\ThunderbirdPortable).

If you have a PortableApps folder at the root of D: installers shoud select the good path.

Vinyl Room said...

Have gone back to using Adobe Flash Player version 11,4,402,287

The reason for going back was because I noticed while playing youtube videos on the newer version there would be loads of crackling noises, but using the older version plays without any hitches.

Azure said...

Hi Bernat,

Can you reshare latest version of Flash Player Portable copied from Chrome?
Thanks before.

Bernat said...

No more gcswf32.dll in Chrome.
source of installer

Azure said...

Sorry, i mean gcswf32.dll 11.4.402.265.
Do you still have it?

Bernat said...

I have 11.4.402.287 dlls but not shure there are copied from chrome.

Azure said...

Thanks.
Unfortunately you are not sure :(

Hi Bernat,

I have trick to disable "ProtectedMode" (no more Firefox freeze) without editing mms.cfg.
Just follow this little tutorial.

If you very lazy, you can use included patch :D
and you can add those patch to your Flash Plugin Portable Installer.


Tested and work with Flash v11.5.502.146 on Win7 SP1 x86 and Win7 x64.

Azure said...

Update: still work with newest version (11.6.xxx.xxx).

Vinyl Room said...

I normally have just been copying the 2 files required to the folder to make this to work, but for some reason since this latest update it doesn't show up when testing it on the Adobe site, or a test flash site for that matter. So I am back with the version before this update.

Ariya Matin said...

hi and tnx for ur amazin site...
i want too install flash player for my portable iron( i get it from here)
when i install flash in my iron portable folder.. the common folder is add in this folder but flash player isnt work in my iron...

tnx for ur help

Bernat said...

It is higly recommended to store all you portable apps in a PortableApps folder at the root of your drive (flash or hard disk).
Don't change default paths: CommonFiles and ChromePortable folders MUST be in the same folder.

Vinyl Room said...

Since the 11.7 versions I have been unable to use the 2 files required that I usually manually place in the Opera folder. The latest version doesn't show up as being detected, so I am back with the last 11.6 version as before.

Bernat said...

No problem in default folder:
CommonFiles\Plugins
