Where do I find the Flash Player installation log on Windows?
On Windows, the file "FlashInstall.log" can be located in the following folder, depending on the type of operating system.
32 Bit Windows:
C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashInstall.log
64 Bit Windows:
C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashInstall.log
C:\Windows\syswow64\Macromed\Flash\FlashInstall.log

I posted that FYI so that I can post the following log files. Hopefully this will help troubleshoot the current install issues with Flash Player in certain versions of AutoPatcher.
My OS = Win 7 SP 1 x86/32-bit
Here is the log file I get when launching Flash Player for IE in AP 6140. The log files were similar for the other Flash Player installers in AP 6140.
