Description
This task will delete any versions of PepperFlash equal to or newer in the user profile than the one in ProgramFiles.
This is needed due to a bug when switching from per-user installed Chrome to Chrome 64-bit in which Chrome 64-bit will find a similar or newer version of PepperFlash in the user folder and prefer it over the version in its own folder even though it is the wrong architecture in this case.
