Download and run the offline installer from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#main-pars_hea... (under the heading Progress bar hangs...).

thanks for your response.i have tried this and it installs ok but it is not the latest version.some programs require the latest version.
