Hi! This sounds like a problem with the Java plug-in not this joystick plug-in. 
Try updating your Java install from here http://java.com/ and let me know if 
that fixes it.

I'm having the same error (chrome 11, however) ... it gives two options "Update 
plug-in" and "Run this time" ... clicking "Update plug-in" jumps to same 
location you linked (ie http://java.com) and succesfully downloads 
"chromeinstall-6u25.exe".

Unfortunately, when I run this .exe, it fires up, says "Welcome to Java", I 
click <Install>, and it opens a window titled "Downloading Java Installer" ... 
it never finishes ... every time before it completes, the window closes .. and 
that's it .. nothing else happens, no message, no error, nothing.
I've tried closing and restarting Chrome .. nadda ... zip, zilch ... 

Any ideas?
(winxp sp3 btw)

Hi! You're having a problem with the Java plug-in, not this joystick plug-in. 
Download the "offline" installer from here: 
http://java.com:80/en/download/manual.jsp#win and see if that helps. If it's 
still not working, try the installer help here:

With the latest Java (1.6.0_26) in the latest Chrome (12.0.742.100) on Windows 
7 x64, I'm also getting this error.  Tracking it down some, it appears that the 
the javascript-joystick plugin is registering itself within Chrome as part of 
Java somehow.  That's why the message that pops up references Java.

To verify where it appears, I opened up the about:plugins page and expanded the 
details, it appears under the Java Category and points to the NPAPI version of 
the javascript-joystick plugin that lives in the Firefox folder.

While it doesn't address why Chrome thinks this plugin is part of Java, a work 
around is to add the '--allow-outdated-plugins' command line flag to Chrome 
before you start it.

I think it's just the word Java in the name that means it lists itself in the 
Java section. I take it other NPAPI plug-ins work for you?

I am also interested to see if there is a fix available for this.

I removed the word Java from the start of the plug-in name, then tried a Chrome 
update. This worked without problems on my machine (Win7 64-bit, Chrome 14).
