I have this issue under 10.9.x -- flash player will not install no matter where I source the installer from or which browser(s) I try to install for (Safari, Firefox, Opera, Chrome).... I've tried everything from safe boot to root login with browsers running/not running and get the same error every time (on my machine & several others):

I don't want to uninstall the plugin/extension completely because, as I've read on other forums, I will not be able to reinstall with their broken installer.

I mean, what else is left to try?!? If it weren't for needing this stupid & faulty plugin/extension I wouldn't bother, but so many sites I (and my clients) use will not work without it.... Anyone have any ideas of what else can be tried?
