Also try running the official uninstaller and deleting all the contents in the Windows/Syswow64/Macromed directory to make sure that Flash is completely uninstalled and then reinstall.

Try right clicking on the file, clicking on "Properties" and then "Unblock". This particular Flash installer needs to be unblocked for whatever reason.

i did what you said  mdanehy  and it did indeed  upload it again

however it crashed  3 minute later    adobe flashplayer 11.4r402 has stoped working

a problem caused the program to stop working  correctley  windows close the program  and notify you if solutions are available

then another page opened  saying

Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is a security feature that can help prevent damage to your computer from viruses and other security threats. Harmful programs can try to attack Windows by attempting to run (also known as execute) code from system memory locations reserved for Windows and other authorized programs. These types of attacks can harm your programs and files.

DEP can help protect your computer by monitoring your programs to make sure that they use system memory safely. If DEP notices a program on your computer using memory incorrectly, it closes the program and notifies you.

Did DEP stop the installation or was it Flash Player itself that crashed? You can try reinstalling and see if it happens again.
