Chrome upgraded to 42.0.2311.90 broke Lansweeper Actions. I tried to fix it by putting the dll file in every possible directory, with no avail. Any ideas?

I've updated the knowledge base to reflect the recent changes in Chrome. These plugin instructions should work.

Chrome will completely disable plugins in a few months. Our development is currently implementing a new solution to use asset actions in Chrome (both 32-bit and 64-bit). This will be included in future releases as soon as it is available.

Any word on a Chrome x64 plugin?

I found this way:

chrome://flags/#enable-npapi

Enable it.

This isn't due to a Lansweeper update we're afraid, Google Chrome is simply phasing out basic web browser functionality on which the Lansweeper plugin relies.

We hope to have a Google Chrome specific plugin by the time they completely remove this functionality.

Internet Explorer however should not have this issue and Mozilla Firefox will probably continue NPAPI support.

I found the same thing this morning. Did a little research, Google is removing NPAPI support which is the API Lansweeper actions use.

Good and bad news, good news is you can re enable it for now by going to chrome://flags/#enable-npapi and clicking Enable. Bad news is Google will completely remove NPAPI functionality in September this year in favour of a more modern API.

I'm hoping the Lansweeper devs take note of this and are ready by September, I'm sure the other browsers will eventually follow suit.
