Hi,
I am looking for some Adobe Flash Player update advice.
I am trying to update my computers to the latest version of Adobe Flash Player to remediate a very long list of vulnerabilities. I am running an analysis to look at several different properties:
Is Flash Installed?:
if exist key “HKLM\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayer” of registry then “Installed” else “Not Installed”
Adobe Flash Player Version:
(value “CurrentVersion” of it) of key “HKLM\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayer” of registry
Flash Player Version ActiveX:
(value “Version” of it) of key “HKLM\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayerActiveX” of registry
Flash Player Version Firefox:
(value “Version” of it) of key “HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\MozillaPlugins@adobe.com\FlashPlayer” of registry
Flash Player Version NPAPI: (value “Version” of it) of key “HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Adobe Flash Player NPAPI” of registry
Flash Player Version Plugin:
(value “Version” of it) of key “HKLM\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayerPlugin” of registry
I am looking for advice on the main differences of the above products since I do not know much about the differences in Adobe Flash.
The issue I am having is computers are showing COMPLETE in a baseline with the following task:
Flash Player 30.0.0.113 Internet Explorer Active X Win Upgrade
Flash Player 30 Firefox NPAPI Win Upgrade
However, the above analysis properties are showing the computer still at version 18 and thus throwing a bunch of vulnerabilities my way. While I am going to dig around in the registry, I am looking for some feedback here too. Thanks in advance for anything you might be able to provide. Any uninstall string cleanup advice is appreciated.
