Strange icon that will not allow the update to Adobe Flash Player 17 for mac

When I download the most recent Adobe Flash update for mac I have a strange icon.

When I double click to launch the update file, I get an even weirder window full of gibberish.Screen Shot 2015-04-01 at 11.11.00 AM.png

If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I'm open. I went through each help file I can find for Adobe and nothing has helped so far.

Hi Threigia,

Remove the .mdlp of file name, so that it ends just .dmg.

We are seeing this behavior with users who have installed of MathLab and we look at why this is happening.  FWIW, this happens to other software THAT DMG files as well, not only the installer of Flash Player.  For some reason when users have installed, MathLab when the DMG file is downloaded, it adds the extension .mdlp for her.  When users try to run it, rather than open with DiskImageMounter, which is what OS X uses to open DMG files, it opens using MATLAB and the result is what you posted.  In this case in the future, simply remove ".mdlp" from the file name and DiskImageMounter will open the DMG, instead of Matlab.
