1) Grab the Uninstaller here:
http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/support/uninstall_flash_player.exe
2) Run it; it will uninstall ALL flash player versions
3) Next let make sure you have the correct processes closed. If flash dependent processes are NOT closed, then flash will not install/update PERIOD. I have tested this with the new offline installer and they MUST be closed.
Open a CMD prompt Run a Command as Administrator from the Windows 7 / Vista Run box
Copy/paste the following one by one or make a bat file to do it all in one step How to Write a Batch File (with Examples) - wikiHow
Ignore anything with a “::” at the beginning as that is just a remark
:: Kills any (known to me) programs that use flash player
taskkill.exe /im plugin-container.exe /f
taskkill.exe /im firefox.exe /f
taskkill.exe /im iexplore.exe /f
taskkill.exe /im flash* /f
taskkill.exe /im battle* /f
taskkill.exe /im Steam* /f
:: added July 7 2015 the weather desktop channel app
taskkill.exe /im TWC.Win7.exe /f
That should close any flash dependent programs (that I know of)
4) Next in the cmd window do the following on WIN7 ONLY DO NOT DO THIS ON WIN8, 8.X or higher:
ATTRIB -H -S -R C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash /s /d
ATTRIB -H -S -R C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash /s /d
rmdir "C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash" /s /q
rmdir "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Flash Player" /s /q
rmdir "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player" /s /q
IF exist C:\Windows\SysWOW64 rmdir "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash" /s /q
( note IF you are on 32 bit you can eliminate anything with sysWOW64 )
5) Next try installing the files at the bottom of this page one by one, or whichever ones you need.
Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows
Hopefully that will get you up and running. (Why Adobe does not provide a bat file and automate it is beyond me to simplify it for end users)
Good luck
