It seems Microsoft has a specific Windows update that removes Flash completely, but I couldn't find it. 363 installer still claims that "a more recent version is already installed". Apparently it uses the "ActiveX"-based executable which I found in my SysWow64 directory, but even if I rename it (so that the file is not found), the.
I found a Flash uninstaller executable on the Internet Archive and used it, then reinstalled a Flash player version 32.0.0.363, the latest before the "time bomb" by Adobe, but it does not change the version used by Tap'Touche. The old player seems to be located at C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash or C:\Windows\SysWow64\Macromed\Flash. So I cannot simply launch it using Newgrounds Flash Player unless there is a way to replace the default player that is used by the application, I believe Newgrounds's one is not useful here.Įdit: I could find a standalone Flash player on the Internet Archive, but it does not work: it is simply a binary similar to Newgrounds' player. How can I keep it working without having to reset the clock on my computer? Is there a way to emulate the date or use something so that Windows will not arbitrarily decide to block?Įdit: this application is not launched by Flash, but it uses Flash for some of its features.
I manually changed the date on Windows to yesterday, and it works again.
I'm appalled at the fact that Microsoft disabled offline, desktop applications for no reason, without a prior warning on Windows itself. Today (), it simply stopped working: the Flash-based animations are replaced with a Flash logo, and while most of the application works fine (it's a typing app, so I can type the letters and such), when a level is completed, it waits for the animation to play and, since it no longer works, the level is not completed and my scores are not recorded. Yesterday () it worked just fine, as it did during several years. I have an old Windows desktop offline application (Tap'Touche) that uses Flash for some of its features.
