Plug-in version is not installed message after installing Flash Player

I need help. We were trying to install the flash player but right after it completed, it said the plug-in version is not installed. I have Windows 7 Pro 64-bit and IE 10. We found 2 versions for Windows, the ActiveX for IE and Plug-in for non-IE. I installed the latter. Do I need to install the ActiveX first?
