Problems with Adobe Flash Player 1001 error

[don1112]

I cannot get the latest adobe flash player to install.  It downloads a "helper file".  I save the file, go to the download location, right-click on the file, select run as administrator, and it appears to start.  But it never gets past the first adobe screen.  I enlisted the help of another person who directed me to look at windows logs and I discovered the 1001 error.  When I look for that error, I see that there is something that does not exist!

I have tried various means of going about this, always ending up at this same place.  It would appear that your installer is very broken!!
