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.
On Vista and above 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?
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?
Done.
For me, the official froze Firefox and this come from the latest Chrome Dev.
Flash has been updated to 11.4.402.278 so now waiting for a portable for this version.
You can test but for me froze Firefox.
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.
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
"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.
Will there be an update on here for the latest portable version 11.4.402.278 ?
Official is yet in post.
Waiting from Chrome for no crash in Firefox on x64.
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.
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.
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 ??
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.
same here, 11.4.402.278 and 11.5.500.80 crash with FF Portable 15.0.1, the plugin from Chrome works OK.
Disable the Protected Mode of Flash Player, and everything will be OK.
This is only Flash Player's Protected Mode fault.
Is this a typo error ? Download Flash 11.4.402.287, should it not be 278 ?
alright but how can I disable the Protected Mode if I use portable versions of FF and Flash?
11.4.402.287 is latest stable build
Update launcher to disable the Protected Mode
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
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)
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.
Flash 11.5.500.90 Beta
Works well on Firefox 3.6.28 & Opera 12.02 b1578
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
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)
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.
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.
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.
Hi Bernat,
Can you reshare latest version of Flash Player Portable copied from Chrome?
Thanks before.
No more gcswf32.dll in Chrome.
source of installer
Sorry, i mean gcswf32.dll 11.4.402.265.
Do you still have it?
I have 11.4.402.287 dlls but not shure there are copied from chrome.
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.
Update: still work with newest version (11.6.xxx.xxx).
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.
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
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.
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.
No problem in default folder:
CommonFiles\Plugins
Hi Bernat and other PortableAppz community members
hey Bernat, first i want to say thanks for your efforts to help people and for your website and posting portables
now as to the flash plugin that is posted since version
shockwave flash vers 11.3.300.262
adobe pdf plug-in vers 11.0.3.37
i have yet to get ANY of these later versions to not stutter when i click to fullscreen in Youtube
so i have to use the version above that WORKS PERFECTLY on my computer
my operating system is WinXP Pro SP3 and works Perfectly
i don't know why these plugins work for you and this community because each time a use a newer plugin, when i go to full screen mode, the sound just stutters and video stutter, mostly the sound
i've tried all advice above, and nothing in regards to that advice works
any other suggestions??
luckily i still have the version above so thanks for posting that version
No problem for me with latest version watching YouTube videos in full screen.
Hi Bernat,
well after some necessary research stuttering in full screen mode on youtube seems to be related to shockwave flash causing a problem
therefore any version newer than
shockwave flash vers 11.3.300.262
I get stuttering on my computer when using youtube fullscren
(I'm sure I'm not the only one having this issue,
as I just tried the same strategy on a different computer with same OS, and get the same result)
FYI:
I'm using WinXP Pro SP3 x86
Hi Bernat,
thanks for replying back and letting me know what was happening with your system
after doing some necessary research,
i've discovered full screen stuttering issue using youtube seems to be related to Shockwave flash portable plugin
i use your portable flash plugins exclusively, so thanks for posting those !!
so to confirm:
any version of shockwave flash newer than
shockwave flash vers 11.3.300.262
causes stuttering in sound mostly in youtube
I'm sure i'm not the only person having this issue as i have now tried it on 2 separate computers using this OS
WinXP SP3 all updated x86
i use portables exclusively, so i don't have anything installed on computer except Acronis True Image
like i said worse case scenario i still have the older version of these plugins that work for me without stuttering
Finally, a version that works for me, I'm thrilled !!
thanks Bernat,
it's been a long long time,
but fortunately this version specifically Flash_Portable_11.7.700.224_32-64_Plugin.exe
with shockwave flash vers 11.7.700.224
doesn't cause stuttering issue in full screen
thanks for posting this version !!
Your installer does not include the necessary .exe file that the current flash player versions request. Would be nice to have this, too. Thanks a lot for your efforts!
Plugin for browsers needs only dll.
Well, I can confirm that als least for SeaMonkey 2.17.1, this is not correct. Installing only the 11.7.700.224 .dll and trying to load a website with flash content deep freezes the browser, which has to be stopped via task manager afterwards. My former portable flash player plugin installation (11.7.700.202) included some "FlashPlayerPlugin.exe" which should be necessary to load the .dll into some kind of sandbox and has to be included since Adobe changed the plugin design a couple of versions ago, as I was told. Maybe current Firefox already takes care of this, or other users have the necessary .exe pre-installed.
No problem with SeaMonkey on a clean Windows XP SP3 32 bit.
I am on Win7 32 bit here. Could this make a difference?
No problem too on Windows 7 or 8 64 bit.
Using of course SeaMonkey Portable from this blog with default paths.
Launcher modify or create (temporarily) $SYSDIR\Macromed\Flash\mms.cfg with ProtectedMode=0
Maybe that makes the difference. I'm not using your modified SeaMonkey version. If you include an installer that takes care of the preliminary Macromed files, everything may be fine. Standard installer from Mozilla or PortableApps does not provide this.
But never mind, got the necessary files from http://notepad.patheticcockroach.com/2243/flash-11-for-portable-browsers-32-and-64-bits/
Thanks for your efforts!
The plugin doesn't work if i extract the files in E:\PortableApps\CommonFiles\Plugins
but it works if the files are in E:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\Data\plugins
I am using Firefox 20 locally.
You must use portable browsers from this blog.
What is the difference between your portable Firefox and this from portableapps.com?
I don't know and don't use.
Only common: I use NSIS to compile launchers and installers.
(Installers extract in a PortableApps folder for compatibility but you can edit the first line of Other\_Include\Installer.nsh)
Hello Bernat!
It seems that Mediafire have suspended your account, at least so they say when navigating to:
http://www.mediafire.com/?sxc6yi7sfvcua4z
to DL the plugin... :-{
...and BTW, Adobe have updated the plugin to version 11.8.800.168 (=final/stable).
Thought I let you know...
Thanks in advance!
Updated.
They fixed the capcha problem they were having
My latest stable version wont save gmail passwords... is that normal now... my older version did.
I've installed Opera 17 but I can't get to install the flash player ... where do i copy the files from the installer???
You must have a PortableApps folder at the root of your drive and use default paths of installers.
Result:
X:\PortableApps\OperaPortable\OperaChromePortable.exe
X:\PortableApps\CommonFiles\Plugins\NPSWF32.dll
Bernat, you do not know how long I was beating myself to fix this until I actually read this last post... and finally understood. Thank you! Was killing me because nothing else would work except putting the Common Files folder in the root where iron.exe was and I wanted to run the other .exe...
I have just installed Firefox Portable and This latest Flash, But Firefox doesn't detect the Plugin, Any Suggeestions? BTW, everything is in the Default Folders
Of course you must use FirefoxPortable from this blog.
I have installed The Application from this Blog, and Haven't changed any of the Directories
Nvm, I can't run your version of Firefox Portable without Admin Privilages, Is there a way to run your app launcher without Admin?
I don't know: I have always admin rights.
Try right clic on launcher: Run as admin...
This work for internet Explorer ?
or for internet explorer I'm forced to install the official site adobe?
1 There is no portable IE on this blog.

Ok Thank you Bernat
What is for internet Explorer ?

What's different NPAPI beetween PPAPI? Is it from Adobe or copied from Chrome?
PPAPI is more secure than NPAPI (run in sandbox)
Chrome and based select first ppapi but can use npapi, Firefox can use only npapi.

Bernat. Never used Portable Flash Player, just the installed versions. How does it work? Need to install, or just download the portable version and run like other programs? Can you help me please? Because I want to format my PC and don´t want to install FP again! thanks for any help.
If you read carefully you see that this is not "Portable Flash Player" but Flash Plugins to be used with portable browsers of this blog.
Hi Bernat,
Does the Flash Plugin no longer work with Firefox 71?
TIA
Daniel
Test working for me but I have to authorize.
In version 71.0 flash player does'nt work for me too.
It does'nt show as installed in plug-ins, even it does'nt show the authorize dialog in web pages...
I tried coping flash files in "common files-plugins" and into "Firefoxportable-data-plugins" and no solution.
Tested working with Firefox portable (from this blog of course).
i have FiefoxPortable (74 x64 version) folder and inside this i have put CommonFiles/Plugins
but test (https://get.adobe.com/fr/flashplayer/about/) not work...
how to enable flash for firefox??
Don't change default folders
Expected paths:
:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\FirefoxPortable.exe
:\PortableApps\CommonFiles\Plugins\NPSWF64.dll
i have FirefoxPortable folder, then App, Data, and FirefoxPortable.exe.
try with CommonFiles folder into FirefoxPortable folder --- not work
try with CommonFiles folder out FirefoxPortable folder --- not work
now i have folder998 and inside your FiefoxPortable and CommonFiles folder but not work...
Nothing more to add
You are free to don't follow above instructions (make a PortableApps at the root of your drive and let default paths of FirefoxPortable and Flash installers) but don't complain if you change paths.
sorry but i don't understand your suggestion...
now i have burn folder D:\PortableApps
into this folder i have put CommonFiles folder AND FirefoxPortable folder
but not work!
type about:plugins in adress bar and you should read (in french for me):
Shockwave Flash
Fichier : NPSWF64.dll
Chemin : D:\PortableApps\CommonFiles\Plugins\NPSWF64.dll
Version : 32.0.0.344
État : Activé
Shockwave Flash 32.0 r0
Of course you have to activate when asked.
no, i don't have have...
i have only Codec video OpenH264 and Module Widevine Content Decryption from Google Inc.
but have similar folder as you have:
D:\PortableApps\CommonFiles\Plugins
D:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable
on CommonFiles\Plugins have FlashPlayerPlugin.exe NPSWF32.dll NPSWF64.dll pepflashplayer32.dll
pepflashplayer64.dll
Yours paths are goods.
No more idea.
Of course this only work with FirefoxPortable from this blog.
