Flash Player 27.0.0.187 causing vSphere Web Client to crash in IE

VMware vSphere web client was working correctly until 27.0.0.187 was updated on my PC on 11/15/17.  Now after I get past the login screen, IE stops responding and crashes.  The following error and informational events are recorded in the Windows event log:
