Verifying Adobe Flash Player Installation for Firefox 51
This section provides a tutorial example on how to verify that Adobe Flash Player is installed properly for Firefox 51 on Windows 7 systems
After finishing the installation process of Adobe Flash Player for Firefox on a Windows 7 system, how do you know it is installed properly? Here is what I did to verify the installation:
1. Open the installation log file, FlashInstall.log, in C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash. The log file contains these lines:
... C:\windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\\* 3 ... C:\Users\herong\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\www.macromedia.com\bin\* 3 ... "C:\windows\system32\Macromed\Temp \{06AB695E-BE5A-46DA-A20D-CC4B166A270B}\InstallFlashPlayer.exe" -install -skipARPEntry -iv 8 -au 2 ... Software\Macromedia\FlashPlayerPlugin/PlayerPath 2 ...

SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall \Adobe Flash Player NPAPI/ 2 ... SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall \Adobe Flash Player Plugin/ 2 ...

C:\windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\plugin.vch ... C:\windows\SysWOW64\FlashPlayerCPLApp.cpl
2. Run "Uninstall a Programs" in Control Panel. You see "Adobe Flash Player 25 NPAPI" listed as an installed program.
3. Run Firefox 51 and visit the Adobe Flash Player verification page at http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/. You see "You have version 25,0,0,127 installed" displayed in the "Version Information" box in the middle of the page.
Now I am sure that I have installed Adobe Flash Player Plugin 25 for Firefox on my Windows 7 system.
