Hello, for multi languages problems, why not use :
<check type="file" condition="exists" path="%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\NPSWF32.dll" />
Try yourself. To be honest, WPKG doesn't support such checks yet (it can't expand %PROGRAMFILES%).
Just to make people aware of the changes in recent WPKG versions, environment variable expansion is supported for many attributes now, so the above check will work with the latest version.
Why not use the MSI version?

Problem is, that if you have old exe-based installations, you will see them twice under Software (the same problem like 7zip).
- No you don't. The flashplayer installer checks if there's an old version already installed and removes it automatically.
You will just have to remove the exe-based installed version similar to the 7-zip package.
The 10.1 MSI remove 10 EXE installation (or overwrite it), so 10.1 MSI can be installed on top of 10 EXE.
With the 10.1, each %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashUtil10h_ActiveX.exe and "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashUtil10h_Plugin.exe remove both plugins.
The msi does not have this bug and you can remove IE activeX without removing mozilla one.
