@Express Install - Google is your friend @Proper Testing - Them's the breaks when you are trying to test specific (and real) use cases. I recommend you get yourself a virtual machine image (Virtaul Box is a great free product) and take snapshots with various version of browsers / plugins installed. This way you can test actual conditions.
As Mike said, an iDevice is a good way to test NO flash player. After reading up on ExpressINstall you may still want to test for the auto-upgrade use case too. BTW - using the uninstaller only takes <1 min (as does reinstalling) so I don't know what the resistance is about...
