Is there any way to install shockwave player? After full or slim installation from adobe site I get the error message: Windows cannot find "c:\Program Files\K-Meleon\K'. and so on... what is wrong?
Any solution?

Try place a dummy file called Netscape.exe into K-Meleon folder where K-Meleon.exe is before install - Opera does that too.

Else install the plugin for any other Mozilla - Else install Netscpae 7.2 or 4.8 which gives You a number of preconfigured Netscape type plugins - If K-Meleon or Your system still tarries - copy the plugins folder of that into K-Meleon "plugins" folder.

If K-Meleon (or system) does not regecogize a plugin You can always try with needed Plugin dll files in K-Meleon plugins folder. Sometimes plugins are only used from there.

Btw. With K-Meleon 1.02 de-AT there is a GetFlash.exe ( flash updater ) inside plugins folder, maybe something similar is required for Your K-Meleon and player version too.

alexx,

can you give the entire error message (complete path)?

I have found a bug in K-Meleon setup, and it's perhaps due to this bug, if you have the problem.

A+

You will find that it is a known problem at Mozilla.org.
This the German url for the description there will be en-US too i assume
http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/de-DE/important.html#shockwave

According to what i understand it seems easiest to install Netscape 4.8 and then the plugin. That gives other nice plugin collection anyway :-)



I will send You screenshots of there error to wanadoo.fr mail account.

here's the English edition of the known issue of Shockwave Player and Mozilla:
http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/important.html#shockwave

I'm not sure why I do not have this problem. I have K-Meleon 1.02 installed and I CAN install Adobe Shockwave Player 10.1.4.20. I have np32dsw.dll file installed in the "C:\Program Files\K-Meleon\plugins" folder. I also have Netscape Communicator 4.8 and Netscape 8.1.2 installed on my WinME and WinXP computers. I guess people need to install at least one Netscape or Mozilla browser (and of course, the Kmeleon browser) and then run the Shockwave Player 10.1.4.20 setup program.

noel-pg2 - i agree that having Netscape 4.x ... or its file structure and name is the easiest solution ( even commmersial broswers like Opera use the later hack ).
