You do not have that option (only the normal web browser right-click options) if you hover over the Get adobe Flash Player, see attached file. If you left click on the Get adobe Flash Player Icon you are directed to the Adobe Flash Player site where it tells you Your Google Chrome browser already includes Flash Player (See attachment).

Hi, thanks for reporting. Having trouble reproducing this; Could you send a screenshot of chrome://plugins? It's worth noting that it's expected behavior that .166 contains .162 binaries; .166 is a rename of .162 for [various reasons].

Re #7: Is "U:" a network drive?

U is where we redirect ours users folders to on The network. We did this via group policy so users chrome settings etc follow them around on the network. This is the way we have always used chrome. Worked before the update.

I see. Thanks for the quick reply. We cannot load Flash from a network drive, which is why it is not working for you. Prior to the update, Flash worked because there was a version of Flash also bundled with Chrome that lived alongside the Chrome installation (probably in C:), and this would be loaded instead. After the update, that file no longer exists and we can only load Flash from the user-data-dir or from a system-wide installation of Flash. In the short term, the only advice I can give is to install system Flash on your machines from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ or https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ . :( In the long term, we want to improve the component update of Flash to avoid this problem, but there are many security issues to sort out before those changes can be made. I will also talk with the team and try to figure out if we can code up some other workaround.

issue 572131 is probably the best to dup this into as it has all the history and background on this.
