I've just located Gerald Levy's installation message from last august, which I'm copying below in case the instructions still apply.
The easiest way to update Adobe Flash Player is to use the Ninite installer for this purpose. It will install Flash without any other unwanted software. Here are the three Ninite files that install Flash. they are bundled in one zip file. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25812011/Flash.zip As I recall from the instructions initially sent with these files, they do the following: There are two versions of Flash for Windows. One version is for use with Internet Explorer and the other is for use with other Windows browsers. The file named Flash Flash IE installer.exe installs and updates both versions of Flash. The file named Flash IE.exe only installs and updates the version for Internet Explorer. The file named Flash.exe only installs and updates the version to be used with browsers other than Internet Explorer. So if you run the first file, it will do the same thing as if you ran the second and third ones.

Subject: RE: Flash installer accessibility I'm having no trouble with Adobe Flash player installation. I have a feeling I went to the website and checked "automatic" installation, but I can't remember for sure. What I do know is that occasionally AFP notifies me that an update is ready to be installed. I tab to the "Install" button. I'm then taken to the website where I must be sure to uncheck the Google items they want me to install as well, and then click on download. From there, it's routine and fast. Below is a copy of information I sent a friend off-list, in case it helps. By the way, she has sight, so the problems aren't just ours. As I look over what I wrote, I'm reminded she's a Mac user and has Safari, but the concepts apply. I found three potential solutions for your AFP installation problem, but I think the first will turn out to be the right one. 1. What I thought was the update download turned out only to be the Adobe installer, which in windows goes into the downloads folder. I have a feeling this was your problem with Safari. This item below implies that the installer goes to something in Mac that is also called downloads. Once you locate the installer, click on that, and the real AFP will be installed. Here goes: Did the installer start installing? You don't know where the Flash Player installer has been downloaded. By default, the files are downloaded and saved to the Downloads folder unless the 'save to' location is manually changed. a. After downloading Flash Player, close all open browsers. b. Locate the install flash player file. Unless you have specified otherwise, the file is saved in your Downloads folder. c. Double-click the installer file to begin the Flash Player installation. By the way, although I believe you already have the installer in your system, here's where you can download the AFP installer specifically for Safari; http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-mac.html 2. Is AFP enabled on Safari? http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/enabling-flash-player-safari.html 3.

Subject: Flash installer accessibility It seems the Adobe Flash Player installer is not accessible. Even when I use Jaws OCR, no text is found after the first stage.It's frustrating that Adobe still doesn't make their installer accessible.
