CS6 installation problems all day

My installation of CS6 Design Standard has failed over and over on my new Windows 7 computer.  I do not have old versions of anything installed.  I have run the cleaner tool.  I have tried it 11 times.  I get either a counterfeit error or an exit code 6 (and accompanying error list)  I am at my wits end.  This has been going on all day.  At one point, Illustrator installed, and then in searching online for a solution it was suggested to uninstall and reinstall, and now I'm back to nothing.  I see that there are a number of people who have had similar issues - I have been diligent in trying solutions, and I am getting nowhere.  Do i have to give up on CS6 on this computer?
