Flash Player fails to install on OS X 10.11.5

AdobeFlashPlayer_25_a_install-1 (Version 2.0.0.140) fails to install. The progress bar will go to about 53%, then I get a message telling me that the install has fails and a browser will come up to the Adobe website. Following the instructions there, I've uninstalled Flash and checked the various directories in the Library to be ceretain that it is gone. I've also clicked the "Check for Adobe Flash" button on the Adobe website and been assured that I do not have Flash installed. Re running the install give me the same error. I've even tried installing it as a different user on the same machine.

I will paste the contents of the Adobe_ADM.log file below:

Hi texarkanag72118643 ,

Thank you for posting the contents of the log file.  This is failing due to a known bug, that only reproduces when using the online installer, and is scheculed to be fixed in an upcoming version of Flash Player.  In the interim, please use the offline installer posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac in the 'Still having problems' section.
