When trying to install the application, the user may encounter a problem. This article will talk about an application initialization error in Adobe Flash Player. Most often, a problem is observed among users of the Firefox browser, but this does not negate the fact that others may have it too. Various reasons can cause it, but the article will discuss four. Each of them will also be accompanied by detailed correction instructions.
Reason 1: the impact of the firewall on the installation process
If anyone does not know what a firewall is, then in a nutshell - this is a system of protection for the operating system. Its role may be played by an antivirus, both standard for Windows and downloaded from the Internet. But why is this so? According to some reports, there is a chance that the "Flash Player" may somehow harm the system. Although this has not been confirmed, some anti-virus software developers have added the program code to the "dangerous" category, which is why an attempt to install causes an error in the initialization of the Adobe Flash Player application. Therefore, in order to prevent it, it is necessary to disable the antivirus before installing it for a while.
Now you know the first reason and the way to deal with it, but if an error still appears even with the antivirus turned off, then the matter is something else. Read on to find out exactly what.
Reason 2: outdated browser
There is some dependency - the latest version of Adobe software must be installed for the latest version of the web browser. As you might guess, to fix the initialization error of the Adobe Flash Player application, you need to check for updates for your browser. You can do this either in the settings or on the developer's site.
Reason 3: pirated version of the application
One of the unwritten rules for using the Internet is: "Do not download programs from unknown sources." And this is true, because there is a great chance to download either an outdated version that is unstable, or download a virus to your computer that will only aggravate the situation. This also applies to the Adobe Flash Player application. An application initialization error may occur for this reason. Therefore, download the installer again, only this time from the official resource (adobe.com).
Reason 4: application web installer
Usually, users download not just the installer, but the web installer of the program. This means that during installation, all components are first downloaded, and only then installed. During this process, the Adobe Flash Player application initialization error may occur. To avoid this, download the portable version of the program. But recall that this should be done only on the official website of the company.
Conclusion
