Adobe flash 11.6.602.180 won't install

Question

This version of Adobe flash: 11.6.602.180
from here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.edu.html
Won't install (at least on Windows 7), unlike all previous revisions.
What can be done?
I get this error:
Error 1722: There is a problem with this Windows Installer package.  A program run as part of the setup
did not finish as expected.  Contact your support personnel or package vendor.  Action NewCustomAction1.
location: ....\AppData\Local\Temp\InstallPlugin_11_6_602_180exe.
command: -install -msi
[This latter command, is something it must generate internally.  I install the msi download like so:
msiexec /i <Pathtodownloads>/install_flash_player_11_plugin.msi   /quiet /passive /qb /norestart /l+* %systemdrive%\log\flash.log
There doesn't seem to be a way to contact Adobe itself about this product problem.
Since these updates are usually security fixes, it seems like a bad thing to roll back.]
The logfile looks like this:

Could you also post your flashinstall.log file?
Where do I find the Flash Player installation log on Windows?
Thanks,
