Web-Player will not install on Google Chrome
I've been trying for hours to get web-player to install on chrome and even though the installer goes through the process with no problems, it keeps on telling me that the unity web-player isn't installed.
It works perfectly on firefox and IE.. but not Chrome. I tried googling for the answer and could not find one that worked.
What could be going wrong? ;/
I have the same issue, but only with Unity 3 webapps. Unity 4 webapps seem to load without any problems. When you go to chrome://plugins, what version does it report?
$$anonymous$$y install went just fine on chrome. not sure why its broken for all you, though some webplayers dont work for me, and if it doesnt work, i run it in safari.

,in Chrome v42 they have disabled the NPAPI support, but the good news is you can enable it again.
Paste this into chrome: chrome://flags/#enable-npapi
Hit activate on that item
also activate native-client underneath.
Bingo Unity works again :)
Don't forget to check the timeline published by Google re: the depreciation on NPAPI. Even tho' Unity's plugin is/was very heavily used Google intends to $$anonymous$$ill and Remove all support for NPAPI, which means Unity's Web Player and many other plugins are not supported on Chrome.
$$anonymous$$id-term solution: Use another browser.
Long term solution: Start Using WebGL

It can support the the NPAPI plugins!
in chrome type: chrome://flags/
Go down and find Enable NPAPI Mac, Windows
Enable it and restart chrome.
fixed.
This worked for me! This is the only way to go as Chrome is blocking plugins not being used a lot so you would have to approve experimental features in order to get unity web player to work. Remember to check chrome://plugins to see you have enabled unity player too.
Dont forget to check the timeline published by google re: the depreciation. Even tho Unity's plugin is/was very heavily used, google intends to kill and remove this support as the year goes by.
