Why did Adobe Flash Player 10 Activex appear twice in Add/Remove programs?

I tried this request in an Adobe forum but got no answer. I use Windows XP SP3. When I go into Control Panel Add / Remove Programs, I see that Adobe Flash Player 10 Activex appears twice. Same name and both show the last time that I acceded to them was 14/08/2010. The second one is slightly different because it shoes 2.42 MB in size. Why the duplication? Can I delete one? Besides, if it has not been used since August of last year, do I need at all?

Information on "Last use" and "size" in Add/Remove programs are notoriously inaccurate.

Each of the Adobe Flash Player uninstaller from Add/Remove Programs entries.

Open Windows Explorer and go to C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash

The current Flash ActiveX control is Flash10s.ocx.  There are several other auxiliary files as well.  If there are any files with the previous letters after 10 (e.g., Flash10p.ocx), delete them.

Go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ to download the current version.
