Adobe DNG Converter 12.1

Question

After buying a new Olympus OMD M5 mark 3 I want to download the Adobe DNG Converter 12.1 to convert the ORF files in DNG. I work with Photoshop Elements 14. This program PS E 14 doesn't recognise the ORF Raw files of this new camera. Downloading Adobe DNG Converter 12.1 from the Adobe site was succesfull, but the program will not open and doesn't work in Windows 10. I even can't find the program in the list of installed programs.
Is this problem recognized??

You will probably find the app installed somewhere like this-

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe DNG Converter.exe"

Even if not in the Start Menu, find the app and [double-click] to run it.

You can make a handy Shortcut to the App and place it on your desktop.

One big 'gotcha' that catches many is that the DNG converter works with FOLDERS. You must select a folder of images to convert, and NOT the individual photo files. If you have the files selected it will not work!

Maybe you have already read this link- https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/adobe-dng-converter.html
