Unable to load application configuration?

[holimukei]

All of a sudden, a couple of weeks ago, adobe flash stopped working in Internet Explorer 10. I've gone through all the steps I can find on the forum to try to get it

to load. I even uninstalled it and the plug in for firefox, but it still wouldn't download, even directly. The error message that boinks and shows up as the exe file is installing it is:

Unable to load application configuration.

I'm running windows 7 pro 64 bit, service pack 1

Internet Explorer 10, 10.0.9200.16635   v 10.0.7

Adobe Flash version is gone, now that I uninstalled it to try to install, but was trying to install the update that it alerted me to, that is version 11.8.800.94, I think.

I went away from IE when there was no adobe flash for 64 bit, but came back and have enjoyed it. I see others have had similar problems, seemingly around installing an update.

Thanks for anyone's help.
