Windows server 2019

Hi, I am trying to get flash player working in internet explorer on windows server 2019, how can I do this?

 

I have got it working in Chrome but I need it in internet explorer for an application.

I ran command: /packagepath:"C:\Windows\servicing\Packages\Adobe-Flash-For-Windows-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.17763.1.mum"

 

According to some bloggs I found on the subject but it does not seem to work correctly.

If I go to site: helpx.adobe.com/flash-player

and look in manage add-ons I can see flash plugin listed with version number 31.0.0.108, and ActiveX filtering is disabled.

So it seems like it should work, but when I press "check now", it still says 

"Sorry, Flash Player is either not installed or not enabled."
 
Am I missing something? Any advice? Anyone got this working?

    Ok, I solved problem, I had to run also this command: /packagepath:"C:\Windows\servicing\Packages\Adobe-Flash-For-Windows-WOW64-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.17763.1.mum"

     

    After that it works. I have not seen this WOW64 package mentioned anywhere, so maybe this helps someone else.
