    Windows 8 and 8.1 are already shipping with flash for IE, so you
    don't have to install it.<br>
    That has always been the case since the release of Windows 8, so it
    is nothing new for flash 16.<br>
    <br>
    Below find my solution by only installing and checking flash for IE
    on Windows 7 and below.<br>
