The .zip thing wont’t work. The file gets corrupted.

And where is that dll? I can’t find it anywhere!

You can rename the standard shockwave setup file to .zip, open it, and voila there is the np32dsw.dll file.

The reason SW, Flash, Java, and all the other installers do not recognize independent 3rd party builds of Firefox is because we do not use installers (for the most part) so no registry settings are made telling the plugin installers that our builds even exist. You have legal two options. What you propossed above is illegal – Macromedia does not allow redistribution of ‘components’ of their plugins. You can install an official build, which sets the registry entries, and then unzip one of my builds on top of it or you can install one of my builds normally and then patch your registry as so that their are entries for the build. The is a very easy howto on the registry patch here:

Opps!
Barry H, it is not a separate action to be taken. I mean the zip file download in Step2 is extracted from my shockwave player installation. Just ignore that line.

What do you mean by:
“I pull the plugin library from shockwave player installation ” ?

(Is there a separate action to be taken – other than waht follows?)
