Thanks for the reply Radimus.

Unfortunelty i dont install Flash or shockwave via download, so there isnt any entries in that folder.

I have a look at macromedia site and done a google search and it seems the only way you can test it is if you go to a site that needs flash and then look at the version number

If a site that uses flash can tell remotely through the browser, then you should be able to do the same. Try looking at the script source at such a site.

Also, try running RegMon while you hit the site to see if it pulls the info from the registry. You could also run FileMon to see what files get read.

What's more interesting is how to perform silent installs/upgrades of these products
