Application Initialization Error installing Adobe Flash 26.0.0.137

Question

After downloading flashplayer26ax_rd_install.exe from the Adobe Flash download site Adobe Flash Player Install for all versions

I close the browser and run the install from Windows Explorer as an administrator.

The install starts then the error message appears Application Initialization Error

flashplayer26ax_rd_install.exe is automatically deleted from my downloads folder.

I am using Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and IE ver11.0.9600.18738

I have removed previous version of Adobe Flash player because I was getting an error saying my browser had blocked the application from starting.

When I checked add-ons Adobe Flash was not listed. This happened in IE 11 and Firefox.54.0.1 (32-bit)

Any ideas how to fix this? This is the only version of Adobe Flash Player I can find.

Only reply if you know the answer and are willing to share it.
