As you can see at 
http://blog.chromium.org/2012/10/smarter-npapi-installs-from-chrome-web.html 
and https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=153648, NPAPI isn't 
present in Win8 and so there's no "fix" for this issue. Because NPAPI isn't 
secure, this decision was made in the interest of safety. This extension, using 
NPAPI in its current form, will never be able to work in Win8 (unless MS 
shockingly makes a major change in philosophy).

And there is not any other way to install the plugin or update it?
