    Hi Rahul, I only know one way to check if Flash Player is installed on your computer.

    C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash      Open the Flash folder and whatever is listed there would be your Flash Player files.

    Thanks,

    That is not a perfect solution. Because If someone does not have flash activeX installed and if he downloads only activeX component .ocx file and use regsvr32 <path_TO_ActiveX> then he will be successfully able to register activeX . So now pc is having activeX and still machine will not have C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash folder so checking only for folder is not a solution.

    Well after some research I found

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000}

    I don't know if it is a perfect solution. I am just going to test it on few machines.

    See if you can find the information you need in the Flash Player Admin Guide.
