The downloaded flash player updater .exe file does not execute. It runs as far as Windows User Account Control displaying the dialog:

"Do you want the following program to make changes to this computer?"

then, apart from the dialog disappearing, nothing appears to happen after clicking YES. Any other program install has been fine.

The updater is install_flashplayer15x32_mssd_aaa_aih.exe

I am using Windows 7 Ultimate x64 Service Pack 1.

Any ideas on how I can get the program to run?

Cheers!
 
Are you downloading it from Adobe's website? What browser are you using to download it?

You could try an alternate installer from FileHippo.
 
Sorry, I didn't think to mention the browser as it is the installer that isn't working. I have tried downloading and installing through both Firefox and Chrome.

Just tried downloading on Firefox through FileHippo. It just redirected me to the official Adobe Flash Player download page.I downloaded again, anyway, but the same thing is happening
 
Do you have any previous versions of Flash installed? If so, uninstall them completely, reboot, and then try again.
 
Aha! That did it. Can't believe I didn't think of that myself. It's usually always the simplest solutions that work best. Ha. Thanks for your help
