It seems like flash is still located in the same location it always has been in Windows:

unique values
of
versions
of
files
whose
(name
of

it

contains

“ActiveX”
)
of
folders
"Macromed\Flash"

of
folders
whose
(
“System32”

=
name
of

it

OR

“SysWOW64”

=
name
of

it
)
of
windows folder

The ActiveX flash component of Windows 8 is not installed as software, but as a Windows Update / Windows Component. It is not in the Uninstall Key of the registry. You can find it from looking for the files directly, or you might be able to find it under the Windows Features / Windows Updates section of the registry.
