Or just use these links instead: http://www.adobe.com/go/full_flashplayer_win_msi http://www.adobe.com/go/full_flashplayer_win_pl_msi
That will always get you the current version and in MSI format without the addons/toolbars/scanners. If you want to be legit, then you should go to www.adobe.com/licensing/distribution/ and agree to the licensing for that, but those are the links you will get. The "pl" version is for browsers other than IE.
