How can I make my application check if Adobe flash player is installed on a PC?
I need to make sure that the user has the latest flash player for internet explorer installed upon startup of the program, does anyone know how I can check for this?
using WMI:
var query = new ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM Win32_Product");
var res = from ManagementObject m in query.Get() where m.Properties["Name"].Value.ToString() == "Flash Player"; // I don't know the name of flash player installer
if (res.Count > 0) { ... }
