Over the years I've done dozens (at least) of Adobe Flash updates on behalf of my employer. I'm not currently in a position to verify by experimentation, but my experience has been that under some (relatively infrequent) circumstances that check box is suppressed, or nonexistent. In those cases, the browser tool-bar (along with any other crapware that Adobe has solicited bribes to distribute) is installed without explicit opt-in.
