This week my El Capitan system reported that the Flash player was out of date. So I did the usual thing and went to Adobe, downloaded the latest (21 A) installer and kicked it off. After entering my password, the installer went through the usual 'downloading ..' part and commenced on the installation part, at which point it failed, showing me this:
What I did was the same as I had done many times before, but this time it failed - and I tried multiple times and also downloaded the installer multiple times.
Adobe Flash Player for Mac lets you access Flash content in Web sites when using browsers like OS X's Safari. The plug-in integrates seamlessly and through a.

I had this problem on & off for years, it's something to do with my firewall, which I've never been prepared to fiddle with just so I can get an online installer to function properly.
The simplest workaround is to go get the full downloadable .dmg version instead of the online installer.
For the past few years, it's been located at http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
or you can Google 'adobe flash player offline installer download' which always finds it.
I did eventually find a solution to my Flash problems...
... I uninstalled Flash from every machine in the building ;-)
I had the same problem and after hours of installing, rebooting, and dredging through archives, I finally solved the problem by opening Library > Internet Plugins and dragging Flash Player plug in and flashplayer.xpt in from an old backup. And hey presto, Flash Player is back.
I had the same problem, updating Flash in OS X 10.11.6 (El Capitan), and the solutions posted here didn't work, including the accepted solution from May 2016 pointing to 'distribution3.html' at Adobe, which currently (Nov 2016) redirects to a new page providing only the web installer. After multiple searches, I learned that that page had a deprecation message on it for about a year before Adobe removed it and redirected.
Annoyingly, the place to go for a fix appears to be an ever-moving target—Adobe's way to help us all love Flash even more. As of early Nov 2016, the full download version is here:
Who knows where it will be next month. The self-contained installer there (18.9 MB) worked without problems for me. Find it in the 'Still having problems?' section near the bottom of the page.

I had the same issue. I installed OS X Sierra and then installed Flash again without any problem.
grg♦Ensure you enable Active Scripting - select Internet options, security, scripting, active scripting (last option at bottom of list). This fixed it for me.
