How do I install the Flash debug player in Chrome?

Question

Chrome comes bundled with Flash now… Great, but how do I install the Flash debug player?

Answer 1

Now it changed once again

1. download Flash Player content debugger for Opera and Chromium from Adobe debug flash downloads
2. run/install this
3. find which flash plugin used
   • open chrome://plugins/
   • expand details
   • get something like C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\47.0.2526.106\PepperFlash\pepflashplayer.dll

4. replace this file with renamed one from

   • 64 bit OS version

     • C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\pepflashplayer64_[some actual version].dll

   • 32 bit OS version

     • C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\pepflashplayer64_[some actual version].dll

This worked for win 7 x64, other Wins-s should be almost same
