Why can't update Flash player give me a good file download to be able to update?

The file that I get when I click on update Flash Player in Firefox addons is: flashplayer_18_gd_install.exe, which will display an unknown Publisher, and when I click on it to install, fails with an error of initialization. See the attached screenshots.

OS: Windows XP (Pro)
Firefox browser
Outdated Flash Player 17.0.0.169 (updated)
New file to download: lashplayer_18_gd_install.exe,.

Addtl Note: I noticed, I can't perform certain tasks such as search, defrag, or 'Manage' due to missing files, but Malwarebytes and AVAST do not detect intrusions at all.

Hi, you could try if installers https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html adobe offline work instead.

Did not work. Error: the file is not a valid Win32 application.

UPDATE: I went back to this file to download some time later, clicked on it, and installed without error. I must have initially tried to install before the download was complete.
