MacBook Air, Installer sticks on "Retrieving Install"

[Guest]

I am on a MacBook Air 13-inch, mid-2012 running Mac OS 10.9.4, and I am completely unable to install Flash Player after trying an Uninstall, system software reinstall, etc.

I saw that there was a fix for an earlier version of Mac OS, 10.8 or so, on a MacBook Air, and I tried executing the recommended Terminal commands and installing the Apple-provided supplementary system update, but this system update will not install on a system version later than 10.8. Is there a newer version of this update for people like me?

I have tried everything on all your help pages multiple times, including going to the page which is supposed to contain a direct download of Flash Player itself, but all it has is a stand-alone SWF player app, SWF debugger, etc., for programmers, as far as I can see.

Please advise, Adobe.

The screen I get is as follows:

Update: if left running long enough, the Installer will eventually return the following error:

Try using the offline installer http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player_osx.dmg

offline installer did not work for me.  Anyone else still having issues?  Gets to about 78% and then gives me a general installation error.
