Adobe Flash Player Failed to Initialize Solution
Sep 19, 2011Web and InternetComments (13)
Sometimes you may get an error when trying to install the Adobe Flash plugin on your browser that reads something like "Adobe Flash Player failed to initialize". If you do, one possible solution is to download the full standalone Flash installer directly from Adobe's distribution site. Here is a direct link:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
There is a table for 32-bit and a table for 64-bit, which corresponds to the type of operating system you have. Select the one appropriate to your OS. If given the choice, download the EXE installer instead of the MSI installer, since it should do additional requirements checking.
This solution may not work for everyone, but it has fixed the issue for me on several computers. It's also useful for installing Flash Player on an offline computer that has no Internet connection.

I followed your link, I selected EXE installer, AND IT WORKED! THANKS!
Did wonders for me. I realized my registry was still dirty so it kept reading version 11 and used renovo Uninstaller to clean the registry and viola! Mucho gracias
yupx!
Yep. This did it. Thanks so much.
OH DUDE - That totally worked!!! - I was having some serious listening to music while surfing - the player was installed "unsuccessfully" and I needed to re-install but could not - this resolved the issue 100 !! THANK YOU !!
Finally, been trying to update flash for the last 3 days!! Thanks so much :-)
