'Application initialization error' installing Flash Player

Question

[moderator: edited title to accurately summarize issue]

Hi, I am currently having issues with my Adobe Flash Player. It seems that it is NOT working on my PC but are working with all browsers installed (Chrome, IE, Firefox, etc.). When I checked, a Adobe Flash (32-bit was installed) although my PC is running in 64-bit. So, I tried to install a 64-bit for Windows 10 Adobe Flash and it prompted me with this error. I could not find any solution on the web, they are all about browser issues. I hope someone could help me with this. Thank you.

This comment is confusing, as it seems to be contradictory. What is it not working on?

I suspect you are referring to the 'Flash Player (32-bit)' item listed in the Control Panel. If so, this is the Flash Player Settings Manager, which is a 32-bit application (but manages setting for both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Flash Player).

For the 'application initialization error', I'll need to review the installation log files. Please review the FAQ Where do I find the Flash Player installation log on Windows? and upload the two files, Adobe_ADM.log and Adobe_GDE.log, to cloud.acrobat.com/send using the instructions at How to share a document . Post the link to the uploaded files in your reply.
