This is due to a corrupt installer. Please uninstall your Flash Player using the
official Adobe uninstaller [ http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157 ] and reinstall 
the
plug-in [ http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer ].

Thank you. This exact scenario is not yet documented in the FAQ (9.0.124 and 
Safari).

The solution to this problem could be to detect the major version only with
Javascript and then check the release version inside Flash and launch the 
Express
Installer from there if necessary.
