InDesign refuses to launch for me because it can't find some Flash engine on startup (Startup Scripts CC/Flash/Flash-21.0.jsx). Fix your apps Adobe. Why should we pay a monthly fee for apps that don't work? Just have to convince my boss to switch to Affinity.

Before you go thru big uninstall/reinstall attempts, just remove that "Flash" folder.
