Open an SWF file with a portable software (no installation)

Solved

Hello,

Since I’m at work, I don’t have the possibility to install what I want on my PC. It happens that I regularly come across sites offering Flash applications that I can’t read.
I know that to solve this problem, I would need to install Adobe Flash Player. In fact, it is already installed, but it’s version 10.3, which doesn’t allow me to open many swf files.

So I was wondering if it’s possible to find software that can read the latest swf files (which require at least version 10.9, for example) without needing to install any programs? Basically, is there a portable version of Adobe Flash Player?
I suppose there isn’t, but you never know.

The service that handles installations is on vacation, so I can’t ask them, and it’s a bit awkward for the moment.

Thanks a lot

    Hello,

    Download the following file:
    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25163330/NPSWF32_11_9_900_152.dll
    (Macromedia Flash Player 11.9.9 plugin extracted from my installation)

    And place it in the folder C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Application Data\Mozilla\Plugins
    If the Plugins folder does not exist, create it / USER to be replaced with your name

    Open your flash file (or go to the site) with the Firefox browser.

    Happy Holidays :)
