I'm trying to install the system version so I can disable the integrated version (pepper flash), but only the integrated version shows up in the chrome plugins page even after I install (what I thought was) the system version.

I did a search and can't seem to find this myself. it appeared to be present in some 2014 versions of chrome, but there is nothing on how to enable it to force it to use the Windows system installed version of PPAPI.

I found a cmd line switch here:

List of Chromium Command Line Switches « Peter Beverloo

Change the shortcut target of chrome to: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --ppapi-flash-path="C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\pepflashplayer32_19_0_0_245.dll"

it could show up as: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\PepperFlash

You need to delete that and you will see the correct path

And I might not need to actually do this, I was just told it was a way to fix the lag when playing tetris battle on facebook. Would you know of another way to do that?
