Hi,
This is most likely due to a certificate signing issue. The online installer uses SHA256 certificate, wich may not be compatible with some Vista systems. Refer to this Microsoft support article, https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2763674, for assistance on upgrading your system.
You can try using the offline installer posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows 7 and earlier page in the 'Still having problems' section, however, there is no guarantee that it'll work.
The certificate signing issue does not just impact the Flash Player online installer. You can experience the same behaviour when attempting to run any file that was signed with SHA256 and the solution is to update your system, as per the Microsoft support article.
