Not quite sure what you are saying but the 5.x webplayer plugin can run older games just fine since it uses the old runtimes to play back that content. It can not however play 4.x content with the 5.x runtime since they are not compatible.

If you are talking about the separately licensed offline webplayer then you you are indeed in a bit of a pickle as explained above since the 5.x player will only have the runtime for 5.x content.

Sorry to jump in but, what you mean by “4.x content with the 5.x runtime” and “separately licensed offline webplayer”?
Can you put some more light on it?

AFAIK Unity preserves the WebPlayer runtime per each release, so the content is loaded by the corresponding runtime version. So, if you’ve a product built with Unity 4.x, it doesn’t matter if you have Unity 5 installed: it will download/run the web player runtime corresponding to 4.x automatically for you.

By explicitly selecting a release channel you can force the webplayer to play your content with the selected runtime in that channel. If you content and and runtime are incompatible that won’t work.

For customers who need a webplayer plugin that doesn’t connect to the internet for updates (like military networks and such) there is an offline version. Contact your sales rep for further info.

to simplify I have 2-3 webplayer builds from unity 4X and one from Unity5x. Now I have one another interface from where I am launching these all webplayers. Here either 4x works or 5x works. Not able to make both work at same time.

I was able to make both work together by :

  • installing UnityWebPlayerFull for unity5 (right-clic=>details->version to see the version)
  • then install manually the missing files from the UnityWebPlayerFull unity4x here (open it as a zip, dont double clic) :
    C:\Users\WRITEYOURUSERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Unity\WebPlayer\player\Stable3.x.x
    and here:
    C:\Users\WRITEYOURUSERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Unity\WebPlayer\mono\Stable3.x.x

EDIT :
apparently, got better result by getting the files from the following instead of UnityWebPlayerFullUnity4 :
https://ssl-webplayer.unity3d.com/autodownload_webplugin-3.x/UnityPlayer3.x.x-win32.zip
http://webplayer.unity3d.com/autodownload_webplugin-3.x/Mono3.x.x-win32.zip

But now i have a new problem : where can i find the latest UnityWebPlayerFull ? I got it only for previous Unity5 release, not for Unity5.0.1.

I also manage to work both together but problem is, if internet is not available then its not working properly.
