Microsoft supplies the Flash Player on Windows 8, 8.1 and 10.

You need the Adobe install of Flash player for Windows 7.

Nice, tried that but on several Win7 systems I checked it's only good for the 
major version :
'ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.18'

How about checking for this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash\CurVer

customer is using a specific toolset that can read registry keys and values, 
but not file system attributes.  Hence the search for the indicator within the 
registry itself.
Thanks.

I think I would have to worry the flash .ocx file on the.system to determine 
the version possibly with pshell or the filever tool

Now that Microsoft is distributing Flash Player upgrades through Windows 
Update, no longer is the Uninstall/Adobe.... registry key available to check to 
see if Flash Player is installed, and if so, what version.
Has anyone found a method to check the registry for Flash Player 'Post Windows 
Update' ?
Thanks,
Erik
