Retrieve adobe flash version with PowerShell

Just a quick powershell script to start the year.

I recently needed to audit the version of adobe flash on the machines a script was running. This code was originally written for visual studio but translates well to powershell.

to retrieve the version of adobe flash on the local machine, use get-adobeflashversion. The code for the get-adobeflashversion can be found below:

function get-adobeflashversion{
    try{
        $flashobject = new-object -ComObject "shockwaveflash.shockwaveflash"
        $version=(($flashobject.getvariable("`$version")).replace(",",".")).trimstart("WIN ")
    }
    Catch{
        write-warning "Could not create Com Object, are you sure Adobe Flash is installed?"
    }
    return $version
}
