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\Macromedia\FlashPlayerPlugin/Version 2
... C:\windows\SysWOW64\FlashPlayerCPLApp.cpl
... SOFTWARE\MozillaPlugins\@adobe.com/FlashPlayer/ 2
... SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
   \Adobe Flash Player NPAPI/ 2
... SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
   \Adobe Flash Player Plugin/ 2
... Software\Mozilla\MaintenanceService\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\FlashUtil64_25_0_0_127_Plugin.exe
... C:\windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashUtil64_25_0_0_127_Plugin.dll
... 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.
