Verifying Adobe Flash Player Installation for Safari 5
This section provides a tutorial example on how to verify that Adobe Flash Player is installed properly for Safari 5 on Windows 7 systems
After finishing the installation process of Adobe Flash Player for Safari 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:\Users\herong\AppData\Local\Adobe\install_flash_player.exe" -install -iv 8 -au 2 ... Software\Macromedia\FlashPlayerPlugin/Version 2 ... Software\Macromedia\FlashPlayerPlugin/PlayerPath 2 ... C:\Windows\system32\FlashPlayerCPLApp.cpl ... SOFTWARE\MozillaPlugins\@adobe.com/FlashPlayer/ 2 ... SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Adobe Flash Player Plugin/ 2 ... Software\Mozilla\Firefox\extensions/Plugins 2 ... Software\Mozilla\MaintenanceService\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_13_0_0_214.dll ... C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash \FlashUtil32_13_0_0_214_Plugin.exe ... C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\plugin.vch ... C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash ... C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash \FlashPlayerPlugin_13_0_0_214.exe ... C:\Windows\system32\FlashPlayerCPLApp.cpl ... C:\Windows\system32\FlashPlayerCPLApp.cpl 183 ... C:\Windows\system32\FlashPlayerApp.exe 183 ... C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashPlayerUpdateService.exe ...
2. Run "Add or Remove Programs" in Control Panel. You see "Adobe Flash Player 13 Plugin" listed as an installed program.
3. Restart Safari 5 and visit the Adobe Flash Player verification page at http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/. You see "You have version 13,0,0,214 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 13 for Safari on my Windows 7 system.
Note that Apple Safari is actually using the same Adobe Flash Player Plugin as the Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. You only need to install 1 copy of Adobe Flash Player Plugin on your Windows system.
