Flash CS4 Silent install alone failing

Question

Operating System -- windows 7, Internet Explorer 8.0
I am trying to install Flash CS4 sile4ntly. It fails with the  Exit code: 7. however i tried to run same installer in Full GUI mode. It works fine.
The difference i suspect as per below log is that in silent the Payload files are prefix with Proxy.xml. however in GUI mode is boot.xml
Logs Full GUI install:

You need to update it with Windows Update. You can also go to: Flash Player Issues | Windows 8
and at the bottom grab the KB, however I've had much better luck using Windows update than I have with the KB alone.
