How to check if Flash Player ActiveX is installed

Hello,
           I want to check if Flash Player ActiveX is installed or not in my Machine .
          I want to check through C++/MFC code
Rahul,

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.

  • How do I update Flash Player ActiveX & Plugin from an internal server at once?

    At work we're using both, Flash Player ActiveX and Plugin, because of the use of different Browsers. We have set up a Background Update from our internal server.
    By updating via "FlashPlayerUpdateService.exe", only the ActiveX Extension gets updated and the Plugin doesn't.
    But if I do it in that order: Install ActiveX → Update → Install Plugin → Update, both Extensions get updated.
    Here's the mms.cfg:
    AutoUpdateDisable=0
    SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1
    SilentAutoUpdateServerDomain=[our server]
    SilentAutoUpdateVerboseLogging=1
    Is there a possibility to update both Extensions from an internal server at once?

    Hi Jak,
    Normally, the Plugin will update about an hour after the ActiveX, however, I'm seeing some codes in the log file I'd like to investigate further.  Please provide the following:
    Post your currentmajor.xml file using these instructions How to share a document.  Please don't copy and paste the contents, upload the actual file.
    Screenshot of your server directory structure for the Background Updates.  See  How to post a screenshot in the forum
    What is the version number of the FlashPlayerUpdateService.exe file?  The version number is in the 'details' tab when viewing file properties (right-click > Properties > Details)This file will be in C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash on a 32-bit OS machine and in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash on a 64-bit OS machine.
    Screenshot of the \Macromed\Flash directory.  If 64-bit OS, post screenshots of both 32- and 64-bit locations.
    Thank you in advance.

  • How to determine if Flash Player 9 is installed?

    I am trying to find a way to determine if FLASH PLAYER 9 is
    installed or not by simply checking a file, a file version, or a
    registry key. Specifically I want to check to see if I need to
    install FLASH PLAYER 9 on my systems so not to actually install it
    when not needed - a check mecanism to know if I need to run the
    installer or not.
    Is there something I can base myself on? Such as either the
    existance of System32\Marcomed\Flash\flash9b.ocx or its file
    version?

    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 .

  • Flash Player ActiveX-Version 11.8.800.174

    For showing graphical graphics in 2D and 3D in our Visual basic application we use the Fusion Charts component.
    This Component use Flash Player ActiveX components.
    My application works on the development server, but if we distribute this to our customers it doesn't work. The Graphics are not fully displayed.
    We checked the Flash player ActiveX components on the server and these from our customers.
    The customers have the version 11.8.800.168 (which is the latest version according the adobe site), but on the development server we have a newer version 11.8.800.174.
    We would like to download this version also on the server of our customers, but we can't find it to download?
    1 customer has the version 11.1.102.62 and this one is also working correct.
    All is running under windows XP SP3.
    How can we get this version 11.8.800.174 on the server of our customers?

    Hey Chris,
    Thanks for the answer.
    I have successfully downloaded the latest version 11.8.800.174 at the server of our customers, but I still have the same problem with the graphics of the program.
    See the pictures of the version 11.8.800.174 ware the graphics isn’t totally visible.
    But on the development server there is now problem with this version.
    Customers server:
    Windows XP PRO 32bit, service pack 3
    Flash player 11.8.800.174 no full graphics visible
    When the graphics is build, he shows the graphics full for 1 second and then he displayed a black window before the graphics?
    Flash player 11.5.502.149 the graphics is full visible (see picture)
    If I update to version 11.6.602.171 the problem begins.
    Development server:
    Windows XP PRO 32 bit, service pack 2
    Flash player 11.8.800.174 graphics OK

  • How to install old version of Flash Player ActiveX

    Hello,
    I have to install Flash Player ActiveX 10.1.x or 10.3.x because it is required by my application. 11.x version I tried made issues.
    I downloaded various 10.x versions : they all told me that this version is not the newest => I can only quit the installation.
    How can I avoid that message ?
    What does Adobe care which version I want to install because I have to ????? 
    Thank you for your help !

    Please run the appropriate uninstaller linked below.  That should allow you to run older installers without receiving that error.
    Windows 32-bit: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash _player_32bit.exe

  • How to Rollback Flash Player ActiveX

    Hi,
    I need to rollback my Flash Player ActiveX from 9.0.115.0 to
    9.0.45.0.
    I have downloaded and used the Uninstall Flash exe (latest
    one) to remove Flash ActiveX.
    I had closed out of all programs then rebooted my computer.
    I tried to install Flash Player ActiveX 9.0.45.0 but I get a
    popup that says
    " The verison of Adobe Flash Player ActiveX that you aer
    trying to install is not the most current verison. Please visit
    http:\\www.adob....... to obtain the latest, most secure version."
    First of all I have done the uninstall so how would the
    program know that 9.0.45.0 is not the latest even when I have
    unplugged my internet connection and second of all how can I by
    pass this pop up to install 9.0.45.0.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thank you,

    First solution:
    Documented on Adobe Flash Player Support Site:
    http://www.adobe.com/go/kb402435
    Download the uninstaller for Flash Player from "How to
    uninstall the Adobe Flash Player plug-in and ActiveX control"
    http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157
    1. Select Start.
    2. Select Run.
    3. Type cmd
    4. In the command window, type the following:
    uninstall_flash_player.exe /clean
    5. This will remove all entries in the system registry and
    resolve this issue.
    Note: The uninstall_flash_player.exe file must be saved to
    the same directory that the command window is in, for example C:\.
    Second solution:
    Open the system registry, but do so at your own risk.
    1. Select Start and choose Run
    2. Type in ‘regedit’
    3. Navigate to
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayer\SafeVersions
    Delete the entry for 9.0 on the right panel of the system
    registry
    Install Flash Player.

    Hello all,
    How to install older version of Flash Player in Windows 8? and how to uninstall default Flash Player that come from IE10 in Windows 8?
    Actually I want to install Adobe_Flash_Player_(IE)_v11.7.700.224.exe in Windows 8.
    Is it possible to overcome this issue? If it is not, could you share me your information on this issue?
    Thanks in advance.
    RK.

    Thank you for reply..
    Actually i uninstalled the existing version of Flash Player from my Windows 8 PC, but when i tried to install the older version, it was not allowing me to install and was showing that my browser is included with latest version.
    Even i followed the below given websites, it didn't given any remedy for it.
    http://flash-focus.blogspot.in/2007/03/installing-previous-versions-of-flash.html

  • Flash player Activex issue

    Hi, apologies new to this forum and not too computer savvy.
    I have installed Flash Player 10.1.85.3 onto my windows XP computer.  (Sorry dont know how to check if 32 or 64 bit).
    I use both IE & firefox to browse the web.  I do not know if this is connected but when I browse on IE i get promps as to whether i want to open activex control which I dont get on firefox?
    I have just bought a Western Digital Network attatched storage hard drive and have tried to install it.  However, I get an error message "to run this program version 9 or greater of the flash activex control is needed.  It will be automatically installed".  When I press OK, i get firther message, " Adobe flash player Activex set up.  The version of adobe flash player activex that you are trying to install is not the most current version.  please visit http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer to obtain the lastest most secure version".  The software will then not continue to allow me to load for the hard drive.
    i have checked on Adobe what flash player I have installed on my computer and note that I have flash player 10.1.85.3 installed.  When I check my add/remove programs I do not see this program, all I see is  Adobe AIR, Adobe flash player 10 plugin, Adobe reader 9.4, Adobe shockwave player 11, (i do note that the adobe flashplayer 10 plugin does not show any size).
    When I installed Flash player 10, at the end of the process I did get an error message "activex control for flash player could not be registered".  However, it would appear that the flash player did install?
    Can anyone help me and guide me through what I need to do, please!!  If any more info is needed, just ask but you may have to tell me where and how I can retrieve that info, Sorry!

    Firefox does not use ActiveX (it uses plugins instead); that's why you don't get that message on FF.

    It appears as if that software is trying to install an old version of Flash Player.  If I were in your situation I would try one of the following:
    uninstall your current Flash Player using the uninstaller from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html (all browser windows must be closed when running the uninstaller), then try installing that driver again.
    go to the Western Digital Network website and look if a newer driver is available.

  • Flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

    flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

    I have had the same problem for WEEKS and I cannot access any sites that use Flash. Flash has been installed on this computer since I bought it in 2012. I have allowed auto updates but for weeks the updates never get past Step 2 - is this because I do NOT want the Google Tool bar? I use NO tool bars as there is only 6 inches of vertical screen space. Is this because I uncheck wanting Chrome as a default browser?  It is already installed, I just don't use it.  I came to this site and ran the check is it installed and the system says it is either not installed or not enabled. Version 14 just downloaded about 30 minutes ago - but did not progress to Step 3 although a pop up screen came up with a finish button, which I clicked. WHAT is the problem and how do I fix it?  If this were just a compatibility bug between IE11 and Adobe they have had plenty of time to fix it.

  • How to update adobe flash player with os10.6.8

    how to update adobe flash player with os10.6.8

    You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
    When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
    If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser, but check this also:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5655?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US  which also covers ‘blocked plug-in’.

  • Controlling autoupdate of Adobe Flash Player ActiveX with mms.cfg file

    For several years we have suppressed Flash Player ActiveX from autoupdating by using the mms.cfg file, with the setting "AutoUpdateDisable=1" -- and it has worked without a problem.
    With the constant updates of Flash Player for security reasons, we decided several months ago to change the autoupdate setting and allow Flash Player ActiveX to update automatically, without notifying the user, checking every seven days.  We changed the mms.cfg file to this:
    AutoUpdateDisable=0
    AutoUpdateInterval=7
    SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1
    We are using Windows 7 64-bit, so the mms.cfg file was copied/updated to: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash, as well as C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
    The problem we are randomly seeing across our 2500+ computers is a notification that a Flash Player update is available.  This is occurring on machines with the mms.cfg file in place.
    Does anyone else have this same issue?  We were also wondering if the encoding of the file, i.e., ANSI or UTF-8, has any bearing on the effectiveness of this mms.cfg file. Or has a registry setting been updated overriding the mms.cfg?
    We believe the file is encoded in UTF-8, but it is difficult to be 100% certain of this.
    Screenshot of the auto-update notification:

  • How to keep Adobe Flash Player installed?

    Hi,
    I'll try to get to the point right away hoping some of you can share my experience and  find a way out of this problem: My computer is a Windows 7, my browser Mozilla Firefox, I use Opera as well.
    I used to have Adobe Flash Player installed on my Windows 7 for a long time, it worked well,  but it seems something has changed lately: I promise I do follow every single instruction given by Adobe, checking if my PC is right, if my anti-virus allows the installation etc... Every time my download works well, seems to be installed, but when I want to use it (I do need it desperately for my work, I work in arts), it seems to crash or simply doesn't exist anymore. I must install it again, sometimes 5 times a day.
    I'm logged in with Creative Cloud, I have my Adobe ID, I can check if I do have the right version (I can see the clouds pass by above the tree etc...) or I'm told with a bouncing red cube that Adobe Flash Player 11 is installed on my computer.
    I've tried to activate my version as I read this somewhere, but how?
    I do have Shockwave Flash plugin from Mozilla Firefox, is something wrong with that perhaps?
    For a whole week Mozilla Firefox stopped responding and I had to initiate it again three times.
    I'm simply lost and what's more important, I'm losing a lot of time.
    My computer suffers from the permanent downloading and browser troubles.
    Is there anyone who went through the same kind of experience and would be kind enough to exchange it with me?
    My sincere thanks to you all for the time you're taking to give me some enlightening tips!
    Kindest regards,
    Gabs17   thanks!
    PS. Could the reason for my problems be the fact that I haven't bought any Adobe product lately?

    Hi Gabs17,
    Your Adobe product purchase history has nothing to do with Flash player install
    Adobe Flash Player is a free software.
    Make sure you have downloaded the right Flash Player as Flash Player for Firefox is different than one needed for Internet Explorer.
    Please download it from : http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
    In case you still face issues please refer the KB : http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html
