Detecting Flash Player version from outside browser

Hi there,

I was wondering if it is possible to detect the version of the Flash Player on a Mac, but from outside of the browser. Our product needs to know what Flash version is present as installation time, so I need to detect it via shell / perl script.

Does anybody know if this is possible, and what might be the most efficient approach?

King Regards

    Hi, just for reference, using a shell script to retrieve the CFBundleShortVersionString key from plugins plist seems like a good way to go. Plugin is in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins.
