Flash player upgrade failed with message "Please close this browser window to complete Flash Player"

The upgrade was triggered by the following javascript in the page and  there is rather old version of flash player installed.

Browser prompts for download of Adobe FlashPlayer11. Accepting this download reports "Downloading install package" and then says  "Please close this browser window to complete Flash Player installation" BUT  doing so and re-invoking the same address reprompts for same  Download of Adobe FlashPlayer 11 and then stuck in infinite loop  of accepting install of Adobe FlashPlayer11 which never  actually installs.

Download the installer(s) from http://forums.adobe.com/thread/909550 and save it to disk.  Close all browser windows, then run the downloaded installer(s).

The requirement is that our customers hope Flash Player might be upgraded in original page as it works previously.

As I traced the http transactions, the updater downloaded https://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/update/current/install/inline/win/x64/install_all_.... On one hand, the 7MB file is unable to be opened via most zip utilities. On the other hand, the file seems to be for x64 platform and os per the url but mine is Windows XP. Is it a bug of Adobe?
