Flash works on IE 9 (64-bit) but not on IE 9 (32-bit)

Question

I have Windows 7 64-bit. I followed the steps in installing Flash on 64-bit for Internet Explorer. However, in some cases I need Flash to work on my 32-bit Internet Explorer and it simply isn't working. I downloaded the manual (silent) flash installer which was 64 bit and the site states that when you install the 64 bit version, the 32 bit installer will also be installed. This is correct, however when I go to for example a flash site it won't work in my 32-bit Internet Explorer. The thing that confuses me is that it shows up in my add-ons in 32 bit Internet Explorer and it is enabled but nothing that requires flash works!

Does anyone have a solution please, because I have tried everything, including using the uninstaller and downloading a variety of versions.

Thanks.

Thanks for your reply, I understand that the installer is universal, but can you explain why it would keep a process running in the background without actually executing the installer? I simply don't understand. Also, in regards to the IE 32-bit browser, there is no flash player context menu, which is weird as it is installed as an add-on from within the IE 32-bit browser. (there is a flash player cotnext menu in the IE 64-bit browser). Also, from that page you sent me, I cannot see the flash player version. I simply, cannot understna dwhy this isn't working, surely someone else can have the same problem? If I can't get a solution, then I guess I'm goign to reformat my computer..

Thanks.

Hmm, after all that, I managed just to uninstall and reinstall internet explorer 9 and it worked.
