Detect which version of flash is installed through a WinForms c# app

I need to detect which version of flash is running on client machines for reporting purposes. I have a c# program that does a whole lot of reporting that I want to add this to. Ideally the program would just detect the version without any human interaction.

Can anybody tell me how to do this?

TIA - Jeff.
