参考另一个帖子Application Initialization Error running Flash Installer! ，提到了digital certificate mismatch。

如果曾经修改了组策略Internet Communication Management，使用了Turn off Automatic Root Certificates Update，就会导致证书无法自动更新。还原默认值以后我的问题解决了。

Given the age of this thread, I'm going to lock it.

I had the same issue, it was caused by my firewall blocking certain adobe certificates that were not trusted by my router. After I allowed these everything worked correctly.

I seem to be getting the same error.  I followed the steps listed above for uninstalling flash, and then tried to reinstall, but the same error is happening when I try to run the installer.

Flash install check viewed from IE:

Flash install check viewed from Firefox:

Note that no log files appear to be created in the folders shown above, so there are none that I can provide.

I was having the same issue with Firefox and found that it seems to be a proxy issue on my corporate network. I switched over to our Guest network which has less restrictions and the download was successful. Not sure if you have that ability if its a laptop where you can run the update on a Guest network or at home? Otherwise I would have Network Security look at their firewall logs and see if its trying to go direct instead of through the proxy or if they need to tweak their proxy script.

    ditto solution.

    I had same issue with Flash and Player

    Flash issue was overcome with full app download and install,

    Something's changed with the installer - switching to guest network enabled the install of Player.

    (nowt specifically to do with browsers)

      Hi Tiggerik,,

      Can you try Installing Flash Player from Location  - Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows - Please Install the  Flash Player for Firefox - NPAPI

      Flash Player for Firefox is installed using NPAPI Installer. The one in IE won't work on Firefox, as it requires a different Binary.

      Hi Tiggerik,

      Flash Player for IE and Flash Player for Firefox are not the same and are not compatible with each other.  The one for IE will not work in Firefox and the one for Firefox will not work in IE.  Please either post a screenshot of the error or try using the offline installer Piyush links to.
