Question

Application Initialization Error and Adobe Player is blocked because it is out of date

Hi -

I've been trying to install an update to flash in the hopes to get it working, but with no success.  I have a Windows 8.1 machine and I've been trying to install it on Chrome version 55.0.2883.87.  I keep getting the Application Initialization Error. I read a lot of posts about this on the forums and followed the suggestions but with no success.

The file I've been trying to install is:  flashplayer24pp_xa_install.exe

Also, intermittently I get a message on top that says Adobe Flash has been blocked because it is out of date.   I can't run Flash Applications from Chrome.  I checked the chrome plugins and I'm running Shockwave Flash version 23.0.0.205.

Thanks,

Tema

HI

Google does embed Flash Player in Chrome and there is nothing to install separately.  If you're not seeing Flash Player in chrome://plugins I suspect you have a corrupt version of Chrome installed.  Have you tried completely uninstalling and re-installing Chrome?

Thanks!

However, I'm still getting the errors I listed above.
