Outdated: Verifying Adobe Flash Player 10 Installation for Firefox 3
This section provides a tutorial example on how to verify that Adobe Flash Player 10 is installed properly for Firefox 3 on Windows XP systems
After finishing the installation process of Adobe Flash Player for Firefox on a Windows XP 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:\DOCUME~1\herong\LOCALS~1\Temp\FP_PL_PFS_INSTALLER-3.exe" ... Software\Macromedia\FlashPlayerPlugin/Version 2 ... Software\Macromedia\FlashPlayerPlugin/Version 2 ... SOFTWARE\MozillaPlugins\@adobe.com/FlashPlayer/ 2 ... SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Adobe Flash Player Plugin/ 2 ... Software\Mozilla\Firefox\extensions/Plugins 2 ... Software\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox\extensions/Plugins 2 ... Software\Opera Software/Last CommandLine 2 ... Software\Opera Software/Last CommandLine 2 ... Software\Opera Software/Plugin Path 2 ... Software\Opera Software/Plugin Path 2 ... C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32.dll ... C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashUtil10k_Plugin.exe ... C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash
2. Run "Add or Remove Programs" in Control Panel. You see "Adobe Flash Player 10 Plugin" listed as an installed program.
3. Run Firefor 3 and visit the Adobe Flash Player test page at http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/. You see "You have version 10,1,85,3 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 10.1.85.3 for Firefox on my Windows XP system.
