can't install flash player

Question

Hi all,i downloaded a flash player installer from the link https://get.adobe.com/it/flashplayer/download/?installer=FP_19_for_Firefox_-_NPAPI&os=Windows%207&browser_type=Gecko&browser_dist=Firefox&d=McAfee_Security_Scan_Plus_FireFox_Browser&dualoffer=false due to a security alert on the previus version.When I click to the exe file downloaded (flashplayer19_ha_install.exe) it starts open a new window with the title "Adobe download manager", but the window remains completely blank and nothing happens.I wait few minutes and when i close the windows it opens the browser redirecting it to the link https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and deleting the exe file downloaded.Is this correct ?I'm afraid of installing a kind of virus or rootkit, is possible ?Can you plese explane why flash player doesn't install  and how is the correct way ?Any hint will be appreciatedFlavio

I had the same problem.The file offered on the sitehttps://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/is not the flashplayer itself but only an (smaller in size) installer that after being started downloads Flash Player (and whatever is advertised if you forget to uncheck the box).On the Flash Player help pagehttps://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.htmlunder "Still having problems" near the bottom are links to download a different (larger in size) installer. That solved my problem.
